So I started reading a biography of Bill Watterson and I got nostalgic and decided to reread some of my old Calvin and Hobbes collections. Holy Cow do they hold up. I feel like the older I get, the funnier this strip becomes. I was especially appreciative of a Sunday Strip about Calvin getting "Kafka Dreams." The wonder and imagination of childhood is still there, but the added perspective of age makes these stories even richer and more profound. If you haven't read Calvin and Hobbes in a while, you really should check it out ASAP. Collections I read for this entry: Calvin and Hobbes, Yukon Ho, and Scientific Progress Goes Boink. The last one was the first Calvin and Hobbes book I ever got, and I think it took me a year to read it because I thought my mom was trying to trick me into reading a science book... sometimes I think I had more in common with Calvin than I'd like to admit.
10/10 duh.
