Catching up with the thread after 10 days of work in "Tina's Groove"'s world as a dishwasher, so this is from a few days/pages back. I know we've been over this before, but how in holy hell does some colorist do that 3rd panel and think "yup, that looks like a 10 year old boy's hairline"? Mr Beeg, you're in the comics industry; can you hook me up with some side work? Because I'm pretty sure my drunk rear end using Paint Shop Pro 7 can do a better job, and I need the money.

Something's been off about this little storyline for a while, but I just realized what it is. It's a robot vacuum cleaner, but it still looks like a Sears model from the 60s or something. We have actual robot vacuum cleaners now, and they don't look like that.

I took a close look at this, and the mechanics of it check out. There's no gearing, but the size difference between the hamster wheel and the cart's wheels should provide enough of a torque transition to let the hamster power the contraption.

I like that Watterson doesn't come down on either side on whether it's all in Calvins head or not, it allows gags like this to be read both ways. Also, his art is great, the perspective change in the second panel and Hobbes line of action is cool. And I've always liked his collisions. And "toy Hobbes" always cracks me up. Welp that's me gushing over a dumb 4 panel newspaper strip.

I look forward to the storyline where this imp from hell is bullied by the second graders, and the last panel is Rex sat silent, gazing into the distance, satisfied smile on his mug.

Twisted sentiment aside, it's been like 150 years since I was in the first and second grades; aside from her fantastic artistic skillz, what actual learned skills should a first grader have at the end of that year in order to advance to the second grade? Reading level, maths -- not to mention there's a heck of a different between a 6 year old and a 7 year old socially, The adults may be wowed by her precocious ways, but I can't imagine the other kids being impressed with her (although this being Rex Morgan, she'll probably be elected school president.

This particular storyline appears to be nothing but fantasy fulfillment for old ladies, but usually there's at least some kind of conflict or issue. Although thinking back there hasn't been a real meaty one in a while. I mean Olive's doctor last year had an addiction thing and was creepy in some way, but they never actually had him do anything. The drug addict Tommy came back, but again not much happened there. He got a job and there's a pretty girl that works there and they left it at that.

I hope this story ends soon and we get a good one. One on par with that drunk woman from a couple years ago would be awesome.

Sarah has handled bullies before (she did it at the museum) and she does so by slamming them verbally with her superior intellect.

She's supposedly advanced enough in her reading and all that, although no one has actually tested her as far as I know. Realistically this skipping a grade thing could cause issues for the kid but in this strip there all gonna love her except maybe one. She will win that one over and they will become bestest buddies in the whole world.

I know way too much about the strips I post. Man, you follow this thread for a few years and you eventually know a lot of poo poo about comic strips.
