Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 03, 2015
Transcript:
Calvin: "Things I will never like: 1. Drying off with a cold, damp towel. 2. The feeling of seaweed wrapping around my leg. 3. Anything that was popular in the '70s. 4. Licorice, yams, or raisins. 5. That high-pitched screech that babies make. 6. Writhing maggots" Calvin: "It's comforting to know that there are certainties in life"

I can’t believe Calvin doesn’t like writhing maggots. If nothing else, he could show them to Susie for the gross-out factor.

Three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and reading Calvin and Hobbes.

Saw a pretty good concert in 1973; Rolling Stones – Stevie Wonder. Tickets, $6.50. And we complained about the tickets being overpriced!

Never say “never” young man.*When you are hot & sweaty from playing outside in August, you just might like drying off with a cool damp towel.

Couldn’t agree more. I suffered through the 70s once and never want to go back. I won’t even go to a Target.

Agree on the 70s, for the most part. Disco sucked.

A telling moment in the disco era: Frank Zappa (absolutely NO fan of the genre) recorded a song called “Dancin’ Fool,” (from the album “Sheik Yerbouti”) which was a rather savage parody of disco and its participants. Turned out it was a popular song… in discos, of all places.

I agree with No. 5 wholeheartedly. Also, I can’t stand black licorice.

I don’t agree with #3. In 1975, the fossils of the giant pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus were found (I learned this from Dinosaur and other Prehistoric Animal Fact Finder [©1988] by Dr. Michael Benton), and in 1976, the megamouth shark was first seen alive (I learned this from The Little Guides: Sharks [©1999] by Leighton Taylor [consultant editor]).
