It is just wonderful how Bill partitioned Calvin’s imagination so that one part played what the other part hadn’t figured out yet. Genius.

Yesterday, the strip was about having lunch time for them to eat. Today, this strip shows that they go back to fantastic dream in time machine again.
BirishB, It could be elephant foot!

Wildmustang1262, The Sunday strip is always different from the daily strips. That’s just how it’s set up.

In fact, I’ve never seen a black n white tree or a black n white mastodon foot before. Incredible!

The “elephant” foot is attached to a ty-ranno-sore, no doubt.

The Sunday strip had to be written, drawn and inked weeks in advance. Watterson said he was almost never that well prepared, so that’s why the Sunday strip is rarely incorporated in the current story. A lot of newspapers didn’t even have a Sunday edition, so the Sunday strip couldn’t be integral to the story anyway lest many people have no idea what is going on come Monday. Most of the time it wasn’t worth the hassle of writing a Sunday strip into the story, so Watterson didn’t do it very often.

This is true of Peanuts, B.C., or any other classic newsprint comic. The story arcs are always contained in the Mon-Sat strips, and the full-color Sunday strips are standalone.

I’m sure I’ve read every C&H in the original newspaper version, but it’s been a while. Tend to forget…uh, where was I?

Two exceptions to that rule would be ‘Brenda Starr’ and ‘Dick Tracy’. The Sunday comic always expands upon the Mon.- Sat. strips.

I missed the early years, and an ongoing arc when I went on vacation. Calvin had a big balloon, and then he was floating away. He began falling while he tried to awake form his “dream”. I left for vacation, and never found out how it ended.
