This guy is sulking because he got rejected by two places? Christ, try two dozen and that might start being more relevant to today.

One place! He didn't want to apply to the other one because he got caught shoplifting there as a kid!

That's not an idiom in English, right? It means that you wish you could be in some place unnoticed, secretly listening in on what the people there are talking about or seeing what's going to happen to them.

English has "fly on the wall," rather than ceiling.

I don't have that one, I have all the annual collections. Did they not reprint all the comics in those?

I don't remember it either, FWIW. I had the paperback collections from when I was a kid I don't have the Complete Calvin and Hobbes for some reason.

"Shred trails"? That doesn't sound right...

Isn't that how the Segway inventor died, though? He had some sort of off-road type Segway and fell off a cliff, I think.

Side thought, is FOOB the only comic where the characters actually age and grow up? Dustin doesn't, Family Circus doesn't, etc.

Funkyverse kind of does. Doonesbury definitely does.

You know, I don't think a lot of people comment on it, but Judge Parker is a legit good comic. I don't know when exactly that became the case, but I only started reading it because of this thread, and yeah: for a serial newspaper strip, the pacing is really well done.

I was thinking to myself the other day that even if the characters are sort of insufferable, the art is nice and things are at least happening.

I always wondered why Watterson didn't just give them names. It seems odd given that Calvin's dad has a very specific job - he's a patent attorney, and that only comes up in one strip so it's not like the names would have to be a recurring thing either. I guess he wanted them to just be "Mom" and "Dad" because the whole strip is basically Calvin's point of view?

Yeah, that. Also, Calvin's dad is a patent attorney because Watterson's dad was, I think :3:

I love the drama they're trying to inject into a completely commonplace, everyday event. Next week's strip: Mary is heading home...but the car ahead of her is only driving 35 in a 40?! :monocle: :aaa:

That is absolutely not how a cane is used. You use it on the opposite side of the weak leg, to spread the pressure out.



Once again Inspector Danger puts away an innocent man.

also, like, his shoes are clean. the tennis playing nephew might've changed out of his shoes because they had cement on them (and been using a cane incorrectly in a failed attempt to frame his brother).

the lack of 1 - 1 mapping between the information in the information and solutions is what's so drat dumb about Inspector Danger. At least when Slylock racially profiles someone, you understand why the solution is what it is.
