@Tacopielvr: And now you enjoy following Calvin, who is the same age that you were when you started reading the comics. I’ve always enjoyed reading Peanuts strips from the first half of Charles Schulz’s 50-year career, from 1950 to about 1975. There were still some great strips after that, but they weren’t as frequent, because Schulz had exhausted so much material by then. For example, in his later years, Schulz talked about how difficult it had become for him to come up with a new strip every fall with Lucy pulling away the football. Bill Watterson’s standards were so high, that he exhausted his material after creating only 8 1/2 years’ worth of Calvin and Hobbes (ten years minus his two sabbaticals).

No wonder Calvin is such a khokhem: he’s a leftie!Never noticed before. Learn something new every day!

Na, they’re probably so few and far between that by the time you get to your next tally mark, you forget what the last one was all about.

Calvin – fair is only fair – all women keep score – and they don’t forget the score. But don’t you dare mention the score.
