Find the strip you've been looking for all this time! Calvin and Hobbes at Martijn's is proud to present the Calvin and Hobbes Extensive Strip Search: C.H.E.S.S.! The database contains all 3150 Calvin and Hobbes strips published with complete references to the books and pages they're published on.

There are no strips (anymore) to view, if you want to read the actual strip you're looking for, buy the books or go to the official site and sign up for My Comics Page. The service provided with C.H.E.S.S. is to find a specific comic that you remember, not for reading (large amounts of) strips. There's no use mailing me asking to put them online, I won't do that.

Enter some search terms in this field to do a normal search. Try to be descriptive as possible, for example Calvin and Hobbes sitting in tree. Best matches are displayed first.

You can also do a boolean search. For example +calvin +rosalyn -calvinball. Click here for more details.

The third option is to look up strips published on a specific date. Select the date of the strip you want to see in the fields below. Remember that the first strip was published on November 18th, 1985 and the last one on December 31st, 1995. You might also prefer a full list of Calvin and Hobbes strips (warning, large file!).
