    I’m well into my 50s and there have been two comics I have never grew tired of. Quite the contrary, the more I read them the more I love them. That is Goscinny & Uderzo Astérix (the albums they created together, not so much what came later), and Bill Watterson Calvin & Hobbes.

    And in my very humble opinion, and if I have anything to say on that matter, if heaven has to be a thing I wish for it to be a Watterson comic strip.

        I really need to look into Asterix again.

        Nodding approvingly ;)

          Egmont Finland published comics were my childhood.

          They licensed a lot of Disney, but Niko and Fantasio, Yoko Tsuno, and Asterix invoke such powerful nostalgia in a way that Disney, being so huge and a current part of the cultural zeitgeist, doesn’t.

            So much :)
