Doest thou really neededth a cop show, Calvin, when thou can — oh forget it, she’s not turning the channel!

Uh, getting back to the topic (which is, you know, TODAY’S strip, NOT the members of the forum or their statistics, which are not only irrelevant, but boring as hell to read), I have to congratulate Bill Watterson on getting 16th-Century English right, including the correct use of “thou” and its associated forms. And shut up, Calvin — some of us LIKE the classics!
