hey my cartoon! I even used it on a cover of one of my books.
Thank you x 1 MILLION. Honestly, I owe Reddit so much. The printed book - is already in its third printing, people are loving it (advance copy readers http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Tips-Etiquette-Nathan-Pyle/dp/0062303112

You may be interested in The PreHistory of The Far Side
Just in case you've got a thousand hours of spare time on your hands, here's all the Calvin and Hobbes comics ever published (legal, Bill Watterson approved version)

I'd recommend the (slightly) cheaper paperback versions if they are for kids since kids are good at destroying good things you love.

When I was a kid, my cat got hit by a car and died.
My Mum, seeing how upset I was about it, thought she'd pick me up a present on the way home from work to cheer me up.
I think she bought me a record or something.
It was a few years later that she told me she'd first gone to a bookshop, asked the guy what funny book he'd recommend, and he said 'How about this one - "100 things to do with a dead cat?"'.
[edit] - it was 101 things
> I think Michael Bay was quoted somewhere saying he made movies more geared to teenage boys.
First off, let me state that I really don't care what people watch. I look at Michael Bay films as safely constructed roller coasters. As seen here the man has learned what bumps, twists, and turns he can use to engage an audience without challenging it. He reuses scenes and ideas in a way that no one ever notices and I think is a brilliant(if nihilistic) way to see guaranteed money.
Now, let me explain why I hate the, "I make movies for teenage boys" defense. It is completely dismissive of all the great art that has been made for adolescents. Seriously, most people don't stop and think about this, but there is some pretty incredible stuff out there. Here is a small list of some of the amazing work made for children and teens:
The Red Balloon
The Works of Winsor Mccay
Calvin and Hobbes
Looney Tunes
Princess Mononoke
Star Wars
The Horror Films Starring Vincent Price
Scott Pilgrim
Fullmetal Alchemist
People use the quote you supplied as a get out of jail free card for valid criticism and it drives me nuts. Like what ever you feel like, but don't be dismissive of discussion because of a pointless quote.
Right there with ya, Garfield, Calvin & Hobbes, and Farside. Boy, I must have read through those collections so many times. One of my first purchases as an adult in my first apartment was the hard bound Calvin & Hobbes collection.
So I'm going to plug for some books that I loved when I was a kid.
The Cartoon History of the Universe / Cartoon History of the Modern World, by Larry Gonick. I'd caution that it isn't for very young children, as they decidedly don't censor the sex and violence, but I probably started reading them around age ten, and the tattered copy of volume one I still have - and occasionally peruse - attests to just how much I read and reread them. The books are thoroughly enjoyable, and just the kind of thing to get a kid to really enjoy reading history. The only real word of caution Ii would offer is that yes, they are at the core pop history, and especially the earlier volumes - the first one was published in 1990 I believe - can reflect some outdated scholarship - but especially for young, budding historians, I don't feel this is all that much of a drawback. The goal at this point in time is to make history fun and exciting, and these books absolutely do that - and they prime the pump for enjoying dry academic tomes ten years later to get the necessary corrections!
On the topic of cartoons, I'll also plug Asterix and Obelix, which we'll be charitable and call 'historical fiction'. You shouldn't be taking anything from these to be accurate and teaching tools, but looking back, they are another set of works that I was reading as a kid that decidedly made me enjoy reading about the past.
I implore you all to check out a copy of The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book, wherein Bill Watterson talks about Calvin and Hobbes (and its evolution) in depth. It's fantastic.
If you're looking for a good book to read, Texans fans
If you miss it so much why don't you just buy it?

>The so-called "gimmick" of my strip - the two versions of Hobbes - is sometimes misunderstood. I don't think of Hobbes as a doll that miraculously comes to life when Calvin's around. Neither do I think of Hobbes as the product of Calvin's imagination. The nature of Hobbes's reality doesn't interest me, and each story goes out of its way to avoid resolving the issue. Calvin sees Hobbes one way, and everyone else sees Hobbes another way. I show two versions of reality, and each makes complete sense to the participant who sees it. I think that's how life works. None of us sees the world in exactly the same way, and I just draw that literally in the strip. Hobbes is more about the subjective nature of reality that about dolls coming to life.

Watterson commented on those decals in the forward from The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book. From what I can remember, he was very upset over the blatant plagiarism and misuse of his creation. He tied that discussion into a larger one about his publisher trying to do the same thing with C&H as the sticker pushers through mass marketing and highjacking the rights of his work from him.
I haven't read it yet, but I'm guessing it's this.
DC had a line of comics called Elseworlds, where writers could develop storylines which were not part of the character's canon. This was one of the projects.
True. But you can buy the book on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Perry-Bible-Fellowship-Almanack/dp/1593079885
> I don't think that most people (IE: the people who weren't following the news as closely as people on this subreddit do) had any understanding of just how corrupt Trump was before the election.
He's spent the better part of the past 40 years in the public eye. His conflicts of interest and corruption are common knowledge. Every news outlet, every information outlet, right down to the Sunday funny pages, has made it clear how unfit he is.
Hell, Doonesbury had enough cartoons poking fun at Trump since the 1980's that they released an entire damn book!
Might be 29 years old, but the jokes still ring true.
why not spend $100 and show the author your appreciation by buying the complete set if you like it so much?

You actually bring up a very interesting point and it's something most people don't realize about the law.
In court, you're technically bound by whatever law you swear on. Since our legal system's based on English common law, which is roughly Judeo-Christian, the Bible's the default.
But that actually becomes part of the problem with Gitmo. All the terrorists there want to swear on the Koran, binding them with Sharia law. And under that law, killing infidels is nbd, so they'd be free to go. To counter that we're playing the waiting game, not giving them trials until they fold and agree to swear on something else. We're hoping to haggle them down to at least the Talmud, maybe the Vedas.
Now you're suggesting swearing on Wonder Woman's lasso of truth, in comic form. Let me tell you, that's a losing strategy. Not only does that require you to tell the truth, but if things go wrong you could end up in some kinky bondage situation.
Here's what I recommend instead: swear on a copy of Calvin and Hobbes. Congratulations, now you are bound by the laws of Calvinball.
And in Calvinball, you make the rules.
Oh hey, this is from this book
Seriously. I have literally no idea how Trump wasn't laughed off the stage back in 2015. He was an actual, factual, literal, real punchline even back then.
FYI Trudeau has released an entire book of this stuff
These are among the few things both interesting and light enough reading that 1 minute intervals work:
Cartoon History of the Universe I - from the Big Bang to Alexander the Great
Cartoon History of the Universe II - from the springtime of China to the fall of Rome
Cartoon History of the Universe III - from the rise of Arabia to the Renaissance
Cartoon History of the Modern World I - from Columbus to the U.S. Constitution
Cartoon History of the Modern World II - from the Bastille to Baghdad
I recommend the 10th Anniversary Book, because it has author commentary beneath most of the comics that really adds to the experience of reading it now that we're old enough to appreciate getting a real glimpse into the mind of Bill Watterson.
Gary Larson put out a book called The Prehistory of the Far Side. There's a section where he demonstrates cartoons that got rejected, cartoons that were modified before release, that kind of thing.
It's really the best Far Side book ever.
Fairly sure this is by Chris (Simpsons Artist) and can be found in this book The Story of Life https://www.amazon.com/dp/1409175847/

You won't be sorry.
THIS one. I believe it contains every strip ever published in the papers.
I'm pretty sure I remember seeing this one on the website back in the day. I suspect some of them may have disappeared from the archive as a result of him publishing a book.

Welcome, mate! Glad to have you. This will help.
If you ever want a good summary of world history check out The Cartoon History of the Universe. It's well-researched and fun to read.
And now, i present to you, the Holy Bible!
Any good bookstore should have it. Here it is at amazon, where you can get the ISBN with which every bookstore should be able to locate it. Or just order it there.
He might want to read this for a pick-me-up. If my grandparents were snuffed by Nazis, my semi-secret gay companion was dead, my friends gone, and my publisher loathsome: fuck yeah I'd be angry.

This is why people need to buy the book how to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you. It prepared me for the struggle against my cat.

I spent maybe two hours giving a random guy on a message board I was on some basic advice on selecting a new laptop, and explaining what some of the different technological things meant.
In my user profile on that site, I had, on a whim, linked to my Amazon wishlist.
The guy sent me The Complete Calvin & Hobbes, back when it was still going for full retail price.
I was absolutely blown away. Still am.
Calvin & Hobbes was my childhood. For Christmas of 2011 my wife got me the full, boxed set of Calvin & Hobbes. It's incredible.

It's "The Story of Life" by Chris (Simpsons artist).
Here are more images. I think this is the push (pun intended) I needed to finally buy this book, lol! Annnd... It's sold out, go figure!
His Facebook page is weirdly hilarious as well.
Not sure. Found this pic today after the new Jojo's episode and thought, "hmm...."
After Google image search, apparently the book is by Chris (Simpsons Artist). The artist has a book called The Story of Life available for pre-order on Amazon. Still not 100% sure, but I think it's safe to assume that this page in is that book (if not, another book of theirs). Every other page I've seen has been similarly bonkers.

Hey, hello, great to see you again! I -- I see that you lost my handout from the interview about required dress for this position, but that's okay, it's okay, you aren't going on your first house call until tomorrow. I'll have Janice, uh, print a copy of those dress requirements and photo copy it so you can have a copy. Just -- ah, this is so awkward with new guys, I should have called to make sure you understood. You'll have to loose all that skin and muscle, okay? I don't make the rules, it's an OSHA thing. My hands are tied, really, nothing I can do.
Whoa, whoa, where are you going? Buddy, c'mon, please, we went over the job requirements, and you can't back down now. You signed a contract, and the other guy quit already. You -- you did read the supplemental materials, when you were applying? You didn't read the supplemental material because you 'were too busy for dinosaur books'?
What could be more important than a dinosaur book? Did you ever have a childhood? What the fuck is wrong with you? ...No, don't cry, you're right, that was unprofessional. We're stuck with each other, kid, so why don't you fill that coffee cup back up and I'll go clear the conference room.
Alright, okay. Your job. You're Death, now, and you have to help ease the passing of people who have run out of time. No, not like the voice that tells you to insert more coins into the payphone. How old are you? Jesus. They haven't run out of time on a phone. They've run out of time on everything.
No, not like when you have to return something to the video store because it's almost been 30 days and you don't want to be charged the full price of the -- Ugh. Didn't Blockbuster go out of business? A store closing is kind of like dying, though, that's a good metaphor. Cashflow is bad, the employees have checked out, so it's just not worth it to even pay the lighting bill anymore, you know? And your job is to make sure that, uh... that everyone gets out of the building in a timely manner, yeah! And to make sure the water is shut off and the utilities all know there isn't anyone there to pay them anymore.
You get that, right? No?
^I'm ^not ^paid ^enough ^for ^this.
Nothing, nothing. Did you have a dog growing up? What happened when your dog got too old? Yeah, see, man... the thing is, there's no farm upstate. I know your parents promised, but they lied. They did! Parents lie, you know, to be nice. Like about Santa Claus. Are you crying? Don't cry, oh my god, it's okay.
You can read, right? Great. I know you did a couple years in a call center, so this will be really familiar, you just have to stick to the script.
The customer will be like, "W-w-where am I? Am... a-am I dead?"
And you say, "Yes, I'm so sorry, but you'll have to move along to the next stage now."
Then they'll say something like, "WHY? WHY, GOD, WHY?" or "NO, NO, THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING." Sometimes, if you're really lucky, you'll get, "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" but try not to laugh. Yes, I promise it's funny.
After that, you just have to tell them, "Oh, my supervisor would love to talk to you about it, please follow me," and then lead them to the sorting area. Am I really going to talk to them? Wow, kid, you're a riot. Hell no, I'm too busy for that. I'm too busy for this, too. Can you follow the script? Great! Go talk to Janet about your paperwork and if you have any questions ask Beelzebub, he's got the cubicle right by the fire exit and he'd love to explain everything to you in more detail.

I have that big orange four-volume hardcover Calvin and Hobbes omnibus, and it's amazing, with annotations and all sorts of extra material. I'm pretty sure it's the only birthday or Christmas present that I've actually asked for in my adult life.

My goal is to come out of my shell, and become better at communicating with people!
I've improved so much since I started college. I used to be terrified of interacting with people, but now I'm a class officer, president of the biggest student organization on campus, and a Resident Assistant!
I still have a long way to go - I need to learn the balance between being personable enough and being too personable. I'm hoping that my time as an RA will help me fine tune my communication/social skills that I fought so hard to gain. :)

If you're looking for something that covers everything in a pretty entertaining format, I would suggest the Cartoon History of the Universe. It's a thoroughly cited series of comic books that inject a good deal of humor and narrative into history. The format leads it a little too heavily into great man history at times, but overall it's fantastic, and features a lot of Chinese and other Asian history that I don't see a lot of in Western books for a general audience.
I'm not a historian, but I used to be a history teacher and I think I got a few things right in terms of keeping people interested. A few books I used that are fun and relatively easy:

I loved these books so much as a teen. They did such a wonderful job of taking dry history and making them come alive in the imagination. Having gained this perspective from Larry Gonick's books made it SO much easier to read about history in general afterwards.

They are also awesome.
Was exactly the same, loved Far Side. Incase you didnt know, there is a complete collection of every comic he ever did, along with back story and explanations for some of the more abstract ones. The Complete Far Side. Pricey, but so worth it.

> They just have a possibly deserved reputation for rudeness.
So have you ever been driving and got stuck behind someone who was going WAY too slow? Then you finally find a way to pass them and glance over to see they are doing something insane like texting or putting on eye make-up? How angry were you? How absolutely FURIOUS were you that they were just not paying attention?
That is what it feels like to us New Yorkers when we are walking behind (or other wise inconvenienced) by a tourist. That's where the rude reputation comes from. It's real easy to get in the way of someone who is just trying to get to work or grab lunch. If your wondering around NYC talking your sweet time eventually you'll be the 1,000th person to piss someone off an they'll just snap. Is this a good reason to snap? Nope, but it'll still happen.
All that said, if you ask for help you'll get it in spades. Knowledge of NYC is a something we pride our selves on. If we have the time we'll tell you everything you need to know and more.
NYC Basic Tips and Etiquette is a great book on this stuff if anyone is interested. It's got some awesome stuff

It might not take you very long to read, but it is enjoyable dinosaur fiction.
Goodbye.
I don't know about which book mentioned this in the forward, but in this compilation he talks about that situation, and it's pretty much how you said it.
He also has in there a comic that almost made me choke when I saw it... it's a drawing of a baby's crib and lying in the crib is a huge snake with a big bulge in its middle. The caption reads "No. You really didn't see this. Turn the page."
Introductory Calculus for Infants
The problem is actually an interesting one: the solid formed by rotating y=1/x around the x-axis has an infinite surface area but finite volume. The intuition is you could fill it with paint but never paint the inside.

I have several of the paperback large-print (vol1, vol2...) editions, but I recently replaced them with the Complete Collection from Costco for about half of face value, which I considered to be a good deal.
I had several of those off-the-wall calendars when I was a kid and I kept all the pages because I have a very problematic 'collecting' habit (not so much hoarding useless stuff, but collecting things of interest like this), and I spent many many hours as a child trying to organize and sort those saved calendar pages, and trying to cross-reference the farside books so I could keep only the pages that had comics I didn't already have in the books. That was 20-some years ago, and quite frankly I never finished that job, but the complete collection brought some joy to me to buy even if I may never crack it open and regularly read the things

May I suggest "The Cartoon History of the Universe". AWESOME book(s). My 7 year old thinks it is one of the greatest books ever.

I wish I had more time right now - maybe I'll fill one of those out later and send it to you.
I have to say, though, that I don't like the layout - turning much more of the text into dialogue would be much easier to read. Now it's like a book with pictures, like A Cartoon History of the Universe, which, as we all know, sucked ass and just sat on my shelf until I got to high school and just burned it in my backyard. Not that yours is bad (it's good, I like it a lot), but it shares the problematic "is it a book or a comic?" layout.
Another point of unsolicited advice - your illustrations show that you have lots of potential as an artist - I'd encourage you to dive into upping your illustrative abilities and learning all you can about comics. Truth is, comics are all about the illustrations, and if you really want to do this, it'll be in your interest to figure out the visual part of it, and how better to incorporate your admittedly great message into comic form. And you can do it, as evidenced by your solid foundation.
As is, as an artist and writer I'd be hesitant to join forces because I'd be doing a vast majority of the grunt work and I'd want to reformat and maybe rewrite all the text blocks completely to fit my illustrations. This seems kind of like the "design the new Facebook for me for $50 and no credit, and it has to be pink" trope for web developers. The Cyanide & Happiness model of several artists making their own full comics with the same theme seems to me like it would work way better than separating out the writing and illustrating. Again, just my personal response as an illustrator/writer.
Anyway, I'm shitty at giving opinions that aren't so sharp that they make people want to avoid them just to spite them, so sorry, and I hope you find an awesome illustrator here - but if you don't, there are other great options.

Enjoy.
I have it and the complete far side. Love them both
$95
The best gift my wife ever got me was "The Complete Far Side"
I recommend getting The Complete Far Side: 1980-1994. It has all of his Far Side comics, half of which are colored with water colors. The only downside is that the books are so huge, I can't read them while I take a dump.
SO bought me the Complete Calvin and Hobbes collection. Love that boy.
Also, I still watch Arthur on TV whenever I catch it.
My dream is The Complete Calvin and Hobbes Box Set (I'd say a new bed, but that wouldn't be very reasonable heh). I grew up adoring C&H, had my own Transmogrifier and played Calvin Ball with my friends. I had most of the books when I was a kid, but my mom got rid of them when I left for college. I've always wanted to get this set so I could enjoy that moment of my childhood once again!
For my C'mon...gimme $20 or under I'll present Smash Up Awesome Level 9000 Expansion Kids really want to be able to play as the Plants combined with the Zombies!
Love your contests, you are some great people who look very very nice today!
Memorieeeeeeeeees. I bought the C & H Complete Collection as soon as it came out and recently crocheted a stuffed Hobbes (as he appears to everyone buy Calvin) for my friend. I love that it's still awesome and on different levels than when I read it as a kid...when it was also awesome!

If you want to learn a ton while being entertained the entire time I can't suggest anything better than the Cartoon History of the Universe. This book is pure win.
You might enjoy the depiction of Socrates in The Cartoon History of the Universe. It doesn't contain any great revelation about his philosophy, but it does convey what you've described quite well.

The Book of Bunny Suicides - truly awesomely funny book. The Danish title is even better; something between "No more carrots" and "Never carrots again".
Did this event inspire this very strange book of oddly amusing suicidal bunnies?
https://www.amazon.com/Book-Bunny-Suicides-Rabbits-Anymore/dp/0452285186
I'd rather commit suicide inspired by bunnies.
How to stop worrying and stop living : I think I have the perfect how-to book for you, it's called Bunny Suicides
EDIT - non-sarcastic answer - Maybe something like Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
The source is from this book, or one of its sequels
Originally available as two books: The Book of Bunny Suicides and Return of the Bunny Suicides.

My dad has a book called 101 Uses for a Dead Cat but I doubt Reddit would like it.
I bought this not too long ago, ive spent lots of time in the bathroom reading these
http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Far-Side-1980-1994/dp/0740721135/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1397586307&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=far+side+collection
$103 gets you all of his drawings in The Complete Far Side. I have one and treasure it.
I would think that most writers would be fine linking a comic if you link where they can get a book from.
>On the one hand, I confess to finding it quite flattering that some of my fans have created web sites displaying and / or distributing my work on the Internet. And, on the other, I'm struggling to find the words that convincingly but sensitively persuade these Far Side enthusiasts to "cease and desist" before they have to read these words from some lawyer.
>What impact this unauthorized use has had (and is having) in tangible terms is, naturally, of great concern to my publishers and therefore to me -- but it's not the focus of this letter. My effort here is to try and speak to the intangible impact, the emotional cost to me, personally, of seeing my work collected, digitized, and offered up in cyberspace beyond my control.
I've always read this as a letter written about "web sites displaying and / or distributing my work on the Internet" i.e. back-in-the-day sites where you'd find websites that were just pages and pages of a particular artist's cartoons.
That's not what's being done here, and I don't think that Larson ever intended that his works never be displayed individually on the internet.
That letter has been out on the internet for a long time. It's never been, as far as I know, authenticated, revised or qualified.
I'd like to think that Mr Larson does not intend that the entirety of his work be kept forever behind the barrier of a publishing paywall, and that sharing the humour of individual comics is more-or-less what writing comics in the first place was all about.
That said, I have one of these so fuck y'all, 'cause I have all of it anyway :D
I love the Far Side; best comic ever in my opinion.
This complete 2-volume set is a must-buy for any Far Side lover
http://www.amazon.com/The-Complete-Far-Side-1980-1994/dp/0740721135/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1330897260&amp;sr=8-1
A little pricey at $95, but very high quality set...
I can't express to you how much I love The Far Side. I mean, I have calendars, random books and, of course, The Complete Far Side.
I can't wait until I graduate and get a job (not tk er jerb), I'm going to buy the $100 Complete Far Side Collection
I've had the complete Far-Side collection in my Amazon "save-it-for-later" for months - it's about €95, about 70 quid.
http://www.amazon.de/dp/0740721135
When i'm more flush it's going straight into my basket.
My dad used to have a few of the collections around the house.

Calvin and Hobbes Collection @ Amazon.com
Worth every penny.
Lottery? It's only like $60.
here you go.
if he doesn't have it, the Complete box set would make any fan delirious with joy. ;p
seriously: spend some time reading them though - it will make your life better. It's also the only comic that has brought me to tears and then on the next page almost killed me by making me literally choke with laughter.
ALL OF THEM. But my personal favorite is Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat.
Go here and purchase that collection. You will not be disappointed.
Or if you are impatient, Barnes and Noble and other bookseller chains carry C&H books (along with many comic strip collections) in their humor sections.
Check this out:
Complete Calvin and Hobbes
It is easily 20 lbs and contains every single comic and all the extras that were in the collections (poems, water colours , etc). I got it last year, it is fantastic.
You must be new to the internet.

I wish I had those, I have the super-fancy archival quality three volume set here but I'm always afraid to open them. I wish I still had my oversized paperback books with the creased covers and occasional half-colored comic.

If you're willing to put in a decent chunk of cash, I'd suggest getting The Complete Calvin and Hobbes Collection. Otherwise, I'd suggest going with "The Essential Calvin and Hobbes." I seem to remember that one being my favorite book growing up.
I bought the complete hardbound edition of Calvin and Hobbes. http://www.amazon.com/The-Complete-Calvin-Hobbes-v/dp/0740748475/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1342383821&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=calvin+and+hobbes

God damn it, Amazon!
Well, it's the title of the first collection, but I'm guessing people mostly meant the strip in general. There is a complete collection of Calvin and Hobbes strips that you can get for just under $100 if you're interested.
You should get this

Is it this one? I've been thinking about it for a while and amazon had it cheaper than it is now. Should have bought it.
I don't think so, I purchased them from the official Bill Watterson amazon seller.

You could take a page from Twain and tell them it's a lot like the billions of years before they were born, only longer. You could also get a copy of the wonderful All My Friends Are Dead and read it together. It's a hoot!

http://www.amazon.com/Calvin-Hobbes-Tenth-Anniversary-Book/dp/0836204387
While I wouldn't get it initially, the 10th anniversary edition has Bill Watterson commentary throughout the book. It's a fascinating ride where he talks about his personal life, the comic's inspiration, explanations of his running gags and motifs, and other fun and interesting tidbits about the comic. I would highly recommend it once you have some of the other books.
You were inspired to copy the picture from the cover of the 10th Anniversary Book? It's a nice copy, but I hope you're not trying to pass it off as original work.
Awesome! I would suggest buying one of the collection books to see if it sparks her interest. The Tenth Anniversary Book is very affordable and is a great collection.
I loved the tenth anniversary edition, it has a lot of great strips and comments/reflection from Watterson himself.

From the book: The PreHistory of The Far Side: A 10th Anniversary Exhibit
It's a great book, and a must have for any Far Side fan.
Edit: To clarify, the text under the caption is Larson's take on the comic.
This was is in his book, The PreHistory of The Far Side:: A 10th Anniversary Exhibit

One of my son's favorites is the story about the X. He loves Introductory Calculus for Infants.
http://www.amazon.com/Introductory-Calculus-Infants-Omi-Inouye/dp/0987823914
Log in and use look inside.
I had to add that :)
I think that the next more nerdy thing I have is introductory calculus for infants or the star trek costumes...
He's pretty darn young. Still, calculus is incredibly broad, and can be taught at different levels. If there's middle school calculus, high school calculus and college calculus (or many different levels), why not also elementary school calculus? Perhaps with interactive learning resources, it could even be quite fun and intuitive (though unfortunately they don't seem to be reaching this kid).
Heck, there's even introductory calculus for infants!

Firstly, before I start:
I LOVE YOUR TASTE! Your Doctor Who list kept me busy for quite a while! Followed, of course, by the NSFW list. Price limit kept me out of these lists though. But, I decided something you would need would be....
This book. You obviously have a cat, and you need to be prepared for the worst. I know there are cats out there that don't have world domination on their mind, but what if your cat was one of the ones that does want to dominate the world!? How would you know?! You need to study this book! FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY! This should probably be in your "I need this" list. In fact, you should already have gotten this!
If your cat is trying to take over the world, then it will have to start with killing you. This book will keep you alive! BUY IT!
she won't hit you
I need help knowing if my cats want me dead
Do you have this book? Sounds like you need it! lol
>From babies to cats
NO! https://www.amazon.com/Tell-Your-Plotting-Kill-Oatmeal/dp/1449410243

1.) Something that is grey: Sculpy! From my cosplay wishlist! :D
2.) Something reminiscent of rain: This hair accessory from my Silly Fun list! I don't know if they're meant to, but the blue bits remind me of raindrops. &lt;3
3.) Something food related that is unusual: Food picks from my Silly Fun list! Maybe not super unusual in Japan, but here in America I doubt you'd see them often.
4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself: This book off my Books wishlist of course! It's for my husband, who's a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls games. I like them, too, but I doubt I'd ever read this.
5.) A book I should read: The Invisible Gorilla, again, off my Books list. I read almost a third of this book while hidden in a book store one day. It's an absolutely fascinating study (or rather, collection of studies) about how much trust we place in our own faulty intuitions.
6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related: Barely, but this nautical star decal! Unfortunately, it's not on any of my lists.
7.) Something related to cats: Another from my Books wishlist! I'm pretty sure I already know my cat wants to kill me, but this book looks funny anyway.
8.) Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it: Stationary, from my Silly Fun list. I have no one to write to, but I have an obsession with pretty stationary and cards and things. I'm usually too afraid to write on it, even, because nothing ever seems worthy of the pretty paper...
9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life: From my Movies/TV list: Braveheart! Because FREEEDOOOOOOM!!!!!
10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain: Survival knife from my Adventure wishlist! Secluded, unpopulated areas are best for hiding from zombies, and this thing even comes with a firestarter! HOW CAN YOU SAY NO?
11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals: This book which is, strangely, on my Semi-Practical list. I'm a Math/Physics major, but I haven't been in school in quite a while. I'm about to go back very soon, and I'm a little petrified of failing out.
12.) One of those pesky Add-On items: Red Heart yarn from my Crochet wishlist!
13.) The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item: The PS4 from my Video Games list. I'm an avid gamer. Video games are how I relax. It's one of the few things that, no matter how crappy my day was, always manages to raise my spirits and help me forget about it all.
14.) Something bigger than a bread box: Apparently bread boxes are way bigger than I thought, so I'll go with this desk off my Semi-Practical wishlist. Surely that's big enough! XD
15.) Something smaller than a golf ball: Turtle earrings off my Silly Fun list! THEY'RE SO CUTE!
16.) Something that smells wonderful: Teavana's Blueberry Bliss tea off my Silly Fun list (yet again). If you've never been in a Teavana store, go this second and just...inhale. &lt;3
17.) A (SFW) toy: Frog mitt from my Practical list. I'm fairly certain this isn't supposed to be a toy, but I get the feeling I'm going to spend more time using it as a puppet than as an oven mitt.
18.) Something that would be helpful for going back to school: This backpack from my Semi-Practical list! I want it so badly!! IT'S STUDIO GHIBLI HOW AWESOME IS THAT?
19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be: 12 Hole Ocarina from my Ocarina wishlist. It's so beautiful and it comes with a Lord of the Rings songbook and I just LOVE IT SO MUCH.
20.) Something that is just so amazing and awe-inspiring that I simply must see it. Explain why it is so grand: Shark sleeping bag from my Silly Fun wishlist! You need me to explain it's awesome?? REALLY? IT'S A SHARK SLEEPING BAG. It looks like the shark is eating you!! Plus it's called the "Chumbuddy" and that just makes me laugh way harder than it should.
Fear cuts deeper than swords!

Watterston wrote all the text and provides a fascinating account of the struggles he endured on his way to creating Calvin and Hobbes and his unwavering, Herculean commitment to keep the strip pure despite an appalling alliance of greedy corporate cocksuckers who wanted to Brock Turner one of the greatest comics in modern history.
I bought this set a few months ago, sat down one morning on my couch is a soft, warm terrycloth robe and just cried while I turned the pages.
Happy new years you nerd!
Pretty much all my days off/holidays involve hanging out with my family, or playing videogames, or both. I got some cool pony toys and such, and the best book ever. Calvin & Hobbes is my favorite comic of all time. I feel I kind of suck at giving, I'm not overly creative and I was quite limited this year. Mainly because of the amount of money I spent on the wife already earlier in the year.

Mine cost me around $150 Canadian, I think. It wasn't cheap, but it was worth it. Came in a really nice cow-print box too.
This is the same product if you have a way of ordering online. Looks a bit cheaper here too.
I highly recommend The Complete Far Side. It's a bit pricey but holy crap. I thought I was a Far Side connoisseur and then I got it. I'd say at least half of the cartoons I'd never seen.

1.) Something that is grey. [Not on wishlist]
2.) Something reminiscent of rain. [Not on wishlist]
3.) Something food related that is unusual.
4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself. Tell me who it's for and why. (Yes, pets count!)
This is for my classroom mostly. One of the projects the student's like to do is making board games. They like using various types of die, but when we made cardboard ones, they fall apart.
5.) A book I should read! I am an avid reader, so take your best shot and tell me why I need to read it!
I can't give too great a reference. This book is on my wishlist, as I've not read it, after all. It's supposed to be really funny though, with an interesting story. The downside is that getting the whole series is too expensive.
6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related! [Not on wishlist]
7.) Something related to cats. I love cats! (keep this SFW, you know who you are...)
These are pretty awesome.
8.) Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it. [Not on wishlist]
I've wanted one of these for ages, but they're not useful enough to justify.
9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why? [Not on wishlist - I own it]
It's incredibly funny and almost everyone has seen the film it's based on. A lot of people have never even seen a parody movie, so it's a new genre to a lot of people and thus a new experience.
10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain.
A bit of a different item than normal. When the zombies attack, we're going to need to be well rested. Baseball bats and the like are common enough, but a good pillow is hard to find.
11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals. [Not on wishlist, as Amazon.co.uk item]
A book about learning to become a Primary School teacher. After my current teaching job, I want to go back and train as one in my home country.
12.) One of those pesky Add-On items. [Not on wishlist - the base game is on wishlist].
13.) The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item. Why?
Playstation 4. It's not on my wishlist as I think anyone would ever buy it, but more to remind myself that it's region-free and only $400 in the US if I can get enough giftcards someday. In my home country it's about $550. The why is mostly Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy XV - both series which I've gained a lot of enjoyment from. There's also that some of my favorite series such as Disgaea are Playstation-exclusive.
14.) Something bigger than a bread box.
15.) Something smaller than a golf ball.
16.) Something that smells wonderful.
17.) A (SFW) toy.
18.) Something that would be helpful for going back to school.
(For reading digital textbooks on)
19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be.
Disgaea D2. My current obsession has been trying to convert my old Disgaea 3 save, which has 120 hours and my Disgaea 4 save which has 95 hours, so that I can use it on another PS3.
20.) Something that is just so amazing and awe-inspiring that I simply must see it. Explain why it is so grand. [Not on wishlist.. but it should be]
The toilet throne. It's amazing that someone has thought of it, if nothing else. Now you can feel like a Queen or King, while going to the restroom.

My dad introduced me to Calvin and Hobbes, and I got him The Complete Calvin and Hobbes a couple of years ago for Christmas. Every time I'm back home, I read it cover to cover.
The complete Calvin and Hobbes is always good for the aspiring genius. The hardcover edition is honestly beautiful.
This is one of my most prized possessions.

Paperback's $59.55 (List price $100). Hardcover's out of stock but it's usually around $99. I'd suggest paperback cos it's easier to open and read. I collected the collections - There's something absolutely gorgeous about Bill Watterson's watercolor covers.

Epic High Five
But seriously, the [Calvin and Hobbes box set] (http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Calvin-Hobbes-Bill-Watterson/dp/1449433251/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&amp;colid=3JA6KLL8ILJ0V&amp;coliid=I1RER00RYGB3YB) is the first thing i'm buying when I magically have 100$ for whatever reason.
> just curious, as a book nerd.
I would love to be a book nerd, but I just don't have it in me. So, sadly, I haven't read Murakami's book. Yet. I've DEFINITELY read The Oatmeal, and HIS book on running.
> Why do you run Raisin? What do you like about it?
> So, what kind of stretches do you recommend before running? And after?
Here's where my practice and the consensus among the Running Community(tm) differ.
I haven't stretched in over 20 years, and only have two injuries to show for it, both of which were likely the result of wearing the wrong sort of shoes. There is a solid body of evidence that suggests that stretching is at best ineffective and at worst may contribute to injury.
That said, since your body is asking you for help, here are some solid quad stretches you can try. Except that last one - unless you're an experienced Yogi with zero back problems, fuuuuck that. You can also try a longer warm up walk and/or "butt kicks": going at a slow jog, but literally trying to bring your heel up to your ass with each stride. I especially like the butt kick idea in cooler climates, where you'll freeze your parts off if you're on the ground stretching.
Here are some books, but nothing specific to injuries.
If she likes the Oatmeal, this is a must-have.
The Terrible and Wonderful Reasons Why I Run Long Distances
The classic. It's a good read. Take the science with a grain of salt.
Born to Run
Bill Rodgers auto-biography. An entertaining read, but not greatly-written.
Marathon Man
If she's science-oriented, this is a great book. I love this thing:

Great comic strip... he's not doing them anymore, The Perry Bible Fellowship Almanack is well worth getting.
Amazon UK link
Amazon US link
I believe it's in the full anthology. He said in the sidebar that he pulled some from the website to make the book more special, and this one probably came out after the other book was published.
New one is here: http://www.amazon.com/Perry-Bible-Fellowship-Almanack/dp/1593079885/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1226976937&amp;sr=1-1

Scott Pilgrim series, if you were wondering.
Here is the first omnibus volume of the Cartoon History of the Universe. Follow it up with the other two and the Cartoon History of the Modern World books and you have achieved your goal.
They're somewhat dated by now, and they are of necessity only an overview. But they're reasonably entertaining to read, and they are the summary of everything you asked for!
This seven volume comic book of the history of everything is incredibly detailed.
A History of the World in Six Glasses is a nice, very approachable book for someone who's not very into history. It's not a deep book, but it has some interesting ideas and can serve as a jumping-off point for people.
Another very easy-to-get-into source is one that I cannot recommend highly enough: Larry Gonick's series of cartoon histories: The Cartoon History of the Universe, in three volumes, covers world history from the age of the dinosaurs to Columbus' journey, and his later two-volume series Cartoon History of the Modern World picks up where that leaves off, going all the way up to 9/11. They are surprisingly well-researched, with each volume having pages of references at the end. There are unfortunately few pages of this series online to read - here's one I found from the first volume, and here's another in low resolution from his later volumes.
This reminds me of a series I read many times throughout my teens:
Cartoon History of the Universe 1 Vol. 1-7: From the Big Bang to Alexander the Great, by Larry Gonick
See also, other volumes in the set:
The Cartoon History of the Universe II, Volumes 8-13: From the Springtime of China to the Fall of Rome (Pt.2)
The Cartoon History of the Universe III: From the Rise of Arabia to the Renaissance
NOTE: All contain somewhat mature language and illustrations, hence probably ~PG-13ish.
EDIT: I was misremembering the source.
Honestly? This
Get (or borrow from the Library) "Cartoon History of the Universe" - it covers the kind of basic info you want to know.
And do not interpret this as an insult, it is legitimately a very good introduction to world history.
Was it in comic book form? Cartoon History of the Universe Volumes 1-7
I suggest a cartoon history of the Universe. It's brilliant.

There's a two-volume collected set.
I read from Gary Larson's, The Complete Far Side book that it was extremely easy for him to come up with a new comic every day. He goes on to say, "When people ask how I could come up with so many comics, I would answer, how not?". Would you say you eat sandwiches more often than not?
here kids, buy it
The Complete Far Side.
I fear what the tome would set you back in shipping
I have The Complete Far Side 1980-1994 (2 vol set)
The thing weighs a TON, but I love it. I grew up reading them.
84's about when it stopped being funny.
Interesting, too, because if you compare it to Calvin and Hobbes you see who the real artist was. One sold out and plastered the image of his cartoon on everything. The other simply retired and let his work speak for itself.
I bought all of those and a couple more at a friend's garage sale. I can't remember the price, but it was stupid cheap. She had just gotten this. Now the ones I got are my daughter's.
You can get it here. I got this for my sister several Christmases ago and selfishly regret not keeping them for myself.
I still have all the individual books from my childhood Waldenbooks sales but this is the classiest set of any comic strip I've ever seen.

I don’t know, his “All My Friends Are Dead” book sold pretty well.
Well now you can get her this book for Christmas!
he talks about this stuff in the 10th anniversary book
He doesn't like it. He says it takes the magic away from comic. He usually cites Hobbes as the biggest issue. In the comic, to Calvin, Hobbes is real, but to everyone else he is a stuffed toy. If they made merchandise ( such as a stuff Hobbes ), it would ruin the magic because he would be either in one form or the other.
Schrödinger's Hobbes ?
The box set plus these: http://www.amazon.ca/Calvin-Hobbes-Tenth-Anniversary-Book/dp/0836204387 http://www.amazon.ca/Calvin-Hobbes-Sunday-Pages-1985-1995/dp/0740721356 make for a great collection.
I wish they could have gotten an interview with Watterson. I know he's famously private, but getting his views would have been great...sigh...well I guess there's always the tenth anniversary book. I really loved reading his commentary.
Just in case some of you have never seen it, he wrote a 10th anniversary book that explains some things.
http://www.amazon.com/Calvin-Hobbes-Tenth-Anniversary-Book/dp/0836204387
At least for those who didn't know this, it might hold you over until the next person asks for an AMA with Mr. Watterson.
Gotta get the Tenth Anniversary Book. Great commentary by Mr. Watterson.

It's called The Prehistory of the Far Side. http://www.amazon.com/PreHistory-Far-Side-Anniversary-Exhibit/dp/0836218515
I'm 26, and love it. My parents and my great-aunt loved it, so I was raised kind of surrounded by it. We had several of the books* scattered around the house, and I loved flipping through them.
*ETA: Far Side Gallery, FSG 2, PreHistory of the Far Side which is probably my favorite, Weiner Dog Art (we had miniature dachshunds, so of course we had to have it), and The Chickens Are Restless - I grew up in a rural area and my family have always kept livestock, done 4-H, competed in rodeos, etc., so the large number of 'rural life'-based jokes in The Far Side was probably a large part of the appeal.
yes in "the prehistory of The Far Side"
http://www.amazon.com/The-PreHistory-Far-Side-Anniversary/dp/0836218515
It's got a lot commentary by Larson, this incident among others.
This appears in The PreHistory of the Far Side: A Tenth Anniversary Exhibit. Really worth the money if you are a Far Side fan. Includes the story of how it came to be, other mistakes that were made (both by him and his publishers), hate mail and the comics that inspired them (hilarious), drawings from his sketchbook (weird and cool), a collection of his all-time favourite Far Side strips, and a chapter called "Subtle Things". That chapter is my favourite part of the book. He talks about how small things can greater enhance or diminish humour, it's really interesting.

(It's actually more of a joke than something really pedagogical).
Haha, I fully plan to do the same with my future kids. I think part of the reason I was always into science and stuff as a kid is that my Grandfather (RIP) was an aerospace engineer, and was really really adamant about teaching me math that was considered "way beyond" my age level. When I got into first grade, I already knew more algebra and geometry than most kids in middle school. It really, really helped me get through most of high school, until he died and then I no longer had a built-in tutor. I think it's really important for kids to have reinforcement at home. When I have my first kid, this is the first thing I'm putting on my baby shower registry.
Happy Almost Labor Day!
This just because, and this because I am counting on my kid to make me a lot of money some day!
THANKS!
It's so much fun to read books that you love with your baby! We have Introductory Calculus For Infants and my 1.5 year old LOVES it. Someone has to teach your child to be awesome. Might as well be you.
I haven't looked at it in great detail myself (I am geographically separated from said nephew), but you can peek inside it a little bit with Amazon's Search Inside feature. http://www.amazon.com/Introductory-Calculus-For-Infants-Inouye/dp/0987823914
Indeed, there's calculus for all ages, and I'll bet that with good teachers and the right tools, you can teach even the most ordinary third-grader some fairly deep stuff. Maybe he isn't writing complex proofs using fourier analysis, but finding the incline and extreme points of polynomials ... that sounds doable.

This is strange in my opinion
I am a hypochondriac. So i decided to have fun with it. I had a UTI and peed in a jar because i was worried the meds werent working. My bf knew i was peeing in a jar. I decided to mess with him. I got a brand new jar and poured some apple juice in it. Asked him if it looked funny. He said i don't know. I sniffed it and said maybe i should taste it. I drank it. He is thinking i drank pee and im laughing my butt off. I had to have him smell the jar for him to believe me. He asked me what the f*** was wrong with me.
Embarassing story. Family vaction. I was 10. I started my period and thought I was dying. Never bleed from there before. I hadn't had sex ed or the talk about it at all yet. I ran out screaming and crying.

Rocky Horror Picture Show...
This is an amazing cult classic film that my Aunt got me turned onto when I was young. I have seen this movie quite a few times as well as been to the theater (if you have seen the movie and know anything about it you will know seeing it in the theater means the theater gets trashed with water guns, toilet paper, bread, and people dressed up) to see it as well. It is just a crazy fun movie to watch and participate in if you get a chance. I have a lot of great memories associated with this movie.

Meh, nothing beats the boxed set: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1449433251
I paid full price when it first came out. No regrets.
The current price seems to be what it normally is ($58.99 USD/41% off list price).
Edited to clarify that this is the Amazon.com/USD price.
Having these on my bookshelf (Xmas gift a few years back) next to my warfield and machen collections keeps me warm and filled.
My kids are avid readers as well, finding what they want to read and plugging them in with that, is key, indeed.
Grace and peace.

Dead tree edition? Here.
Unless he's the girl says "sure" when you have any doubts that he wastes some of the world. But is it strange that he overperformed relative to the caverns too, but it probably hurts them to check Twitter during a time traveller, coming from /r/hotlinemiami will understand. edit: It's a big deal to replace chalkboards? http://www.amazon.com/The-Complete-Calvin-Hobbes-BOX/dp/1449433251.

On a serious note you can for a small fee get the ashes back from most vets you can then safely dispose of the ashes somewhere and visit when ever you wish.
maybe you need this
http://www.amazon.com/101-Uses-Dead-Simon-Bond/dp/sitb-next/0517545160
101 uses for a dead cat.
Someone with am ironic mind, served with a twist? I bet you mix a mean Mojito!
A throwback to the 1980s;
101 Uses for a Dead Cat
and the sequal
Cat's revenge: More than 101 uses for dead people
Heard of ["101 used for a dead cat?"] (http://www.amazon.com/101-Uses-Dead-Simon-Bond/dp/0517545160)
Time to buy this
good...good...do you have this? http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Calvin-Hobbes-v/dp/0740748475
if not it's the best although it's rather heavy...i'll try to pick a picture I would want you to do for me...
Calvin and Hobbes... Every child should have this!
Nice work /u/Ravens23.
An old friend of mine recently had a heart attack and was off work hospitalized for a couple of months. He shares my love so i got him this:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-Calvin-Hobbes-v/dp/0740748475/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr=
Needless to say, he loved it at 55 just as much as he did a 7!
I'm going to have to go ahead and call 'Plagiarism'. Agree? http://www.amazon.com/All-My-Friends-Are-Dead/dp/0811874559%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJ3AR2O7JYNGTEXWQ%26tag%3D20-malltownusa2-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0811874559
I didn't link out of respect to Gary.
I don't know what that blog is, but it basically paraphrases his notes in A Prehistory of the Far Side. As (somewhat rabid) Larson fan, I thank you for attempting to shed light on an amazing comic, but also ask you to remove the link.
If anyone missed Cow Tools or any of the Far Side cartoons, I suggest heading to the nearest seller of books.

How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You
But I think in this case it's pretty obvious. Good bye Op, may you rest in peace.
I'm sorry
Its not a shirt but this might also be a good present... Basically a comic book about running by the oatmeal.

Great, dead Cats have 101 uses
If you don't have one of these yet then you're not a true fan.
Buy me this.
To get you started:
300
Another treatment of the same event:
Cartoon History of the Universe
That has a bibliography, that will lead you to the next ones to read.
(I just found out that King Xerxes from 300 is the same guy as King Ahasuerus from the Book of Esther, in The Bible.)
Buy this book if you need inspiration: 101 Uses for a Dead Cat
Seriously though, you can either leave the body at the vet's and have them dispose of it, donate it to your nearest vet school, have it cremated, or get it back and bury it in your back yard (check your local laws first, this is illegal in some water districts).
It was an anti-cat joke sort of like this or this :) but not as funny.
