    I once called attention to the similarity between my granddaughter and Calvin...

    Her father paused, thought, and then said, "Nope. Not comparable. We don't get snow in Alabama."

    True classics, I really enjoy them, and notice the resemblance between myself and Calvin more often than I'd admit to my parents.

    Great cartoon. Another favorite(s) - Bloom County and FarSide.
    There's a lot of things they didn't tell me when I signed on with this outfit....

    Like Calvin and Hobbes, some people have way too much time and creativity:
