I’ve got a full bound set of Calvin & Hobbes. I miss that strip, Watterson made me laugh almost every day. I’m slowly making my way back through it.

I want to fly, but I’m fat and have no wings.

That just reminded me that somewhere I have a VHS tape of A Wish For Wings That Work

My wife bought me large stuffed Bill the Cat and Opus dolls. Still today they reside on the top of one of my bookcases in my office looking down on me as I type this reply.

Let us now get Calvin and Hobbes back and I will be even more delighted.

He recounted a nautical accident, and I couldn’t help but think: This sounds like a man ready to tack toward a new direction.

Michael Cavna made a ridiculously strained nautical reference, and I couldn't help but think: This sounds like a self-important suck-up who took three sailing lessons.

“Broads, bucks and Buicks!”
Breathed and lawyer wannabe Steve helped me overcome my embarrassment while recuperating from the shame of being a former fatuous/vapid Doonesbury fan.

I am over joyed. One of the funniest and sharpest comic strips ever. It will be interesting to see where this all goes

Bill the Cat remains one of my favourite Bloom County characters.

You ever notice that he looks like Obama?

It’s sad because today it would be conservatives.

Article doesn’t really explain why he stopped or restarted.

Follow the money.

this gives the flavor of fearless Calvin, not deterred by the burdensome fears of Mom
