Happy Birthday To Calvin

I just now realized this, but today marks the 20th anniversary of the premiere of Calvin and Hobbes. I just thought I'd bring it up while we were talking about things that made me laugh like crazy while I was growing up. Calvin's imagination was/is a lot like mine, although I never really behaved like him. I still wish my cardboard boxes could turn into time machines or transmogrifiers - those things would come in very handy these days!

Happy birthday, Calvin and Hobbes. And to Bill Watterson, if you're out there - it couldn't hurt to just draw a new book or two full of comics, could it?

Finally, Zach Miller of Joe & Monkey (one of my favorite webcomics) has a tribute up as today's strip.
