Thank you everyone for all this support! Due to the popularity I know that the hosted images are suffering a little. Hopefully they will be back up soon, but due to legal reasons I cannot host them myself. If you click on the broken image it should load on the native site.

I am a little worried, however, that the popularity of this search engine will ultimately be it's demise if Andrew McMeel Universal (who owns the rights to Calvin & Hobbes) threatens legal action against me. Hopefully I can put ads for the books in the search results, allowing people to buy the books and it will be win-win for everyone, but I can only do that if AMU agrees to it. In that case I may even be able to host the images locally and prevent traffic from crashing them again in the future. Update: Someone at AMU got in touch with me; a C&D was headed my way, but they seem open to finding a better solution, which is AWESOME. You may see some changes here in the next few days/week, but hopefully it will be in the best interest of everyone!

Otherwise, I just ask everyone to see the credits at the bottoms of these pages, as I don't deserve all the credit myself, especially with regards to image hosting. Thanks again for the support!
