Qasim Rashid, Esq.

I love closing out the year with this. 😊

On December 31, 1995, exactly 27 years ago today, legendary cartoonist Bill Watterson published his final 'Calvin and Hobbes' comic strip.

How beautiful and appropriate it was, and a timeless reminder of what we have before us in 2023. ❤️

Happy New Year, ya'll!

@QasimRashid I love the last Calvin and Hobbes cartoon.

But I was privately hoping the story would end in the future, with the parents giving Hobbes to the daughter of a grown-and-married Calvin.

Calvin's Daughter: Who are you?
Hobbes: The guy with the goods on your old man.

Happy New Year.
