I was once compared to Calvin, the little rascal in the cartoons by Bill Watterson. I adore these cartoons, and used to cut them from the paper every day and kept them in envelopes. I now buy the books and read them over and over again...no one has understood my love for it, yet have never read them. I think because maybe I am like Calvin (although I tend to talk to myself, not a stuffed tiger) and love the innocence and naivety (but ultimately his cynicism) he has...
Some people like Peanuts, others Footrot Flats - to each his own, but here are a few of my favourite samples from the endless laughs of a young boy and his toy...
If you haven't read it, please go out and get one of the books (
Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons and
Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat are classics). There is now a complete anthology showcasing every strip made...hmmm, $300 well spent on my birthday??? Katie?
