Assuming we're talking about a country club or a hotel ballroom (and not a sad-but-appropriate venue like the school gymnasium), how far in advance would someone even have to book for something like this? At the risk of feeling sympathy for Les Goddamn Moore, Cindy dumped this on him only a few weeks ago.

They're going to hold the reunion at the bloody pizza place and everyone's going to have a great time and I hope Les chokes.

Some extracurricular reading about Calvin and Hobbes.

Libby Hill at AV Club posted:

Calvin didn’t have trouble focusing on the world around him, he had trouble reconciling himself to the fact that the world around him was such a disappointment. The reason the strip appealed to people both young and old is because Calvin was feeling underwhelmed at a college graduate level. It’s not unheard of for children to experience this, particularly those who are more sensitive to their surroundings, and for many it was a relief to know that seeing the world without the luster and facade constantly created for us wasn’t so unusual. Calvin made it okay to be disheartened and disappointed by life and normalized the inherent loneliness that childhood can bring. He was there for us as we grew up and while we learned that things were capable of getting so much better and so much worse as we experienced puberty and beyond, he was still mired in the first grade, raging against the machine.

This is a really good article, but personally I love that it starts out slamming those stupid-rear end "Calvin takes his meds" comics.

Basically Dr. Parkady is what a 9CL character would look like, rendered with actual lifelike artistic talent. Poor fella.

I think they're worried that they might not have got all the terrorists, so they're hoping the ones they have will tell them who their co-conspirators are?

Second-richest? You're forgetting Daddy Warbucks, The Phantom, and the entire cast of Judge Parker. He's probably in the top ten though.
