   That’s exactly what happened to me just a few weeks ago, right down to the dollar amount (roughly).

   I didn’t go for the thousand dollar phone, though. I went for the third generation SE. In addition to being much cheaper than the flagship version, it actually has features I much prefer to its overpriced cousin.

   The garage used to move?

   This is a very introspective side of Calvin, and for him to open up to Susie of all people is really quite poignant. (Granted, the supporting cast of this strip is tiny, and if he’s out in public and can’t talk with Hobbes, the pickings are slim indeed.)

   For a moment it even lets you forget that this strip doesn’t really match up too well with yesterday’s, where he was completely unaware of the baseball signups. Today makes it look like he made a deliberate decision not to participate. I like this version much better.

   You know what would make for a really funny strip tomorrow? If Wren is sitting in that box, and someone looks in and she takes a swipe at whoever it is! And you know what would make for a really funny strip the day after tomorrow?

   Sklar, huh? That was the name of a dentist I went to a few times as a little kid. I liked him because his name was fun to say. One day a different dentist worked on me and I threw a hissy fit that had me whining “I want Doctor Sklar!”

   The hting is, I didn’t even know what he looked like, thanks to the face mask and all, as well as my general inattention to detail. It’s kind of surprising I didn’t just assume this dentist was Doctor Sklar.

   No need, she’ll figure it out on her own. We all did.

   They still mint Kenned half dollars, but don’t put them in circulation. I can’t remember the last time I saw one outside of a coin collection. I would think there’d be more use for them these days than there is for pennies, nickels, and dimes. I often use my debit card specifically to avoid the need to mess about with those.

   Man, that’s some epic dialogue there.

   I remember we were giving ourselves and each other cootie shots all the time when I was in fitst and second grade. I always wondered why we had to keep redoing it when it specifically said “Now I have it for life.”

    It wasn’t her own guilty conscience? (And spare me your nonsense about Edgar knocking her in while John strangled Farley for no reason.)
