   Good original comment, Margaritem! That’s one of my favorite quotations. The best I could come with after that is “What goes around, comes around.” Calvin frequently prooves it.

   This strip is one of the best ever for Watterson. THE best of the Snow Goon group. GREAT punchlines are unexpected and catch readers off guard. It’s the punchlines that make or break a cartoon strip. This one is perfect!!

   Every day I check out the cartoon, but I don’t check out these comments very often any more. This will be the last time. It’s amazing to me how many people will be so eager - including either staying up late or getting up real early - to say nothing. My life isn’t that boring.

   This reminds me of one of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes strips. Calvin is sitting at a table writing on a sheet of paper. Hobbes comes by and asks what he’s doing. Calvin says he’s writing his autobiography. Hobbes says, “Your autobiography? You’re only 6 years old.” To which Calvin replies, “I’ve only got one sheet of paper.”

   A proud Paddy Murphy tells 5 yr. old Sean that he has the privilidge of saying the blessing at the extended family’s St. Patrick’s Day dinner. Sean begins, “Lord we thank you for the corned beef and for the cabbage. Thank you for the mashed ‘tatties. Thank you for the fruit salad and for the milk.” There is a long pause. Sean leans over to his father and whispers audibly, “If I thank God for the broccoli, won’t he know that I’m lying?” He didn’t even ask about the manicotti.

   “Poised precariously over a percolating pit of putrid pasta.” That’s got to be one of the all time best lines!

   Reminds me of the newly married couple sitting down to the wife’s first home-cooked meal. As she serves her new spouse she says, “My mother taught me how to cook. My best things are meatloaf and apple pie.” The new husband looks down at his plate and says, “”Which is this?”

   [Would that constitute grounds for divorce?]

   “When a young man complains that a young lady has no heart, it’s a pretty certain sign that she has his.” Cdward is wrong in predicting that in 20 years Calvin and Susie will be married. Calvin and Susie will always be six years old. [Luckily for us!]
