Epic Desktop Backgrounds That Turn Boring Workdays Into Fun

6.Miss Those Days

Running for a record ten years from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995, Calvin and Hobbes is still one of the most beloved and influential comic strips in history. Designed by Bill Watterson, this masterwork enthralled readers all across with its deft mix of philosophical reflections, childish delight, and cutting social critique.

The strip's continuing appeal is in its ability to explore difficult subjects via the exploits of a precocious six-year-old boy and his cynical stuffed tiger friend, appealing to both adults and children. Often praised as the final great newspaper comic, Calvin and Hobbes chose to bow out at its height in order to preserve creative integrity instead of caving in to commercialization. New generations still find great resonance in the strip, hence it is ideal for a nostalgic desktop wallpaper that reminds us daily of simpler, more creative times.
