    That’s what most Americans think about cricket! The glazed look most people get when I try to explain it is hilarious. To be honest, some of it was a bit confusing to me switching from baseball too.

        That is about how I imagine my explanation sounding most of the time!

      I say, old sport! Those savages from the colonies just have no culture!

      TBH, I have absolutely no idea about cricket either.

        Yeah, it seems like it’s a very regional thing other than a few people like me that happen to latch on to something different!

      Americans call baseball the “national pastime” but test cricket often go on for longer than a whole weekend…

Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as “the last great newspaper comic”,[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes
