1. almost 14 years ago on Calvin and Hobbes

   @Joelwmd: Love the comment.

   I rather thought his “reverse psychology” backfired on him. I remember those games as a kid. Usually the more you make it secret and say they aren’t worthy, the more they want to join. In this case, IMHO, the more Calvin says it’s secret and exclusive, the more he wants Susie to question and try to be a part…that is why in the third panel he pauses because his plan did not work. It’s all a ruse, Calvin is interested in Susie and does things like this to make sure he gets her attention, even if it’s for the wrong reasons. But he’s not allowed to be overt about his “interest” in her until he reaches 7th grade or so.

   Oh my, dare I say it? A chapeau on Hobbes??? He would be… Le chat en le chapeau (the cat in the hat)

   I remember those days, once a week was still too often.

   Hobbes’ friends, my grammar and spelling are going down the toilet.

   Why indeed did Max bring a suitcase? For Calvin to look through I suppose. But really the question I have: Are Hobbe’s friends real or imaginary?

   I’m thinking Max is just short lived foil for the whole nameless family, someone to pose the questions that Miss Wormwood can’t or won’t.
