About Calvin and Hobbes

Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes has been a worldwide favorite since its introduction in 1985. The strip follows the richly imaginative adventures of Calvin and his trusty tiger, Hobbes. Whether a poignant look at serious family issues or a round of time-travel (with the aid of a well-labeled cardboard box), Calvin and Hobbes will astound and delight you.

Ah, excellent! I already had my eye on this one and was planning to ask you to spirit it over here, once I got around to perusing it myself for a bit. :)

I can't vouch for its completeness (but have little doubt, considering the degree of care and effort that clearly went into this), but the quality of this set is truly outstanding. For those who are wondering if the size is really worth it, I put together a direct comparison of a sample panel taken from

- (on the left) one of the typical C+H sets that have been floating around the web for a long time ( http://piratebayproxy.live/torrent/6553017 );

- (in the middle) the more recent re-scan that I used as the basis for my own C+H set ( http://piratebayproxy.live/torrent/8735794 );

- (on the right) this version:

Speaks louder than the proverbial thousands words, dunnit! :)
Thank you for the comparison picture gesserit.
Greatly appreciated.

I just downloaded this and I'm seeding, but I was wondering; why so many files? They all seem to be the same, and unnecessary 'weight' to the torrent. Perhaps they have some value? If any insight could be given it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!
WOW! Well done! Thanks! :)
This is an amazingly hi-res scan of all the comics, the best I could find after exhaustive research (and wading through too many junky upscales). I've spent some weeks breaking the CBR files in this release into individual strips in JPG, and naming them with the original publishing date. I've also created a companion database and PHP scripts to present them on the web.

It's all on the UseNet as "Calvin.and.Hobbes.Organized.2015" at a.b.pictures.comics

I'll make a torrent here when I able to post.
Okay. Here's the result of breaking down the CBR files of THIS release into individual JPG files, which are named by their original publication date:

https://thepiratebay.vg/torrent/12299745/Calvin.and.Hobbes.Organized.2015

It also includes a MySQL database and PHP scripts to present those JPGs in a useful way on the web, complete with free-text search capability.

Thank you to the original poster of this CBR collection! No other other scans come close.
The level of commitment you've made to archive Watterson's timeless works left me literally speechless. gesserit showed it and I'll say it - this is THE comprehensive collection of our lovable boy and tiger duo. No stupid PDF's to wade through, and the picture quality is the best anywhere.

Thank you beyond what mere words can say. These strips are more than just comics, they are very fond memories for many people including myself. And for you to put up this kind of one-stop-shop torrent is like Christmas come early.
PSA - for those looking for gesserit's side-by-side image comparison, go here:

Appears that bayimg is gone for good after a police raid and/or compromise some years back.
If you want individual jpg/jpeg images instead of the .cbr files it's helpful to know .cbr files are actually .rar files. You can uncompress the .cbr files into jpg image files using any .rar decompression program.
