Calvin & Hobbes Search Engine

Computer programmer Michael Yingling has developed a search engine for archived Calvin & Hobbes comic strips. Click Here to test it out but be sure to read these tips before using:

Currently the search only looks for EXACT phrases (not case sensitive), so if you’re looking for a comic with the words “balloon” and “airplane” you cannot enter them both, or it will search for “balloon airplane” together. This may be updated in the future. There is one exception though; you can search for a DATE and it will find that specific comic, though it MUST be of the format MM/DD/YYYY. So 09/01/1986 will work, but “Sept 1st ‘86″ and “9/1/86″ wont – yet.

Calvin & Hobbes has always been one of our favorite comic strips of all time and we were saddened to see it out of syndication after 1995. We predict a ton of time wasting in the Jacksonville Confidential offices this week as we will be reminiscing about our favorite little boy and his stuffed tiger.
