I don't know how well this will play out, but what the hell, I'll give it a try. Each number will be a frame from the comic strip (no, I'm not going to scan the actual strip).

If it seems to work (i.e., be funny, based on your feedback) and if/when I feel like it, I'll try more. [Unfortunately, there probably won't be many segments about ME here because those are usually too visual.]

It is assumed that you already know the following:
a) Calvin is a 6-year old boy
b) Hobbes is his "stuffed" tiger and best friend
c) Hobbes is a real tiger whenever only Calvin is around (in the frame)
d) Hobbes appears to be a stuffed tiger whenever ANYONE else is around (are you getting this?)
e) Calvin is an only child
f) Calvin has an overactive imagination but everything is 100% real to him

If it weren't for those damned copyright laws, this could actually be funny. OK, one last one before I let this topic die the death it so richly deserves. In honor of Father's Day ...

1) Calvin (walking into parents' bedroom): Good morning, Dad! Happy Father's Day!

Dad (sleeping): <FONT size="1">mmf goomrg</FONT s>

2) Calvin (sitting on Dad who's barely waking up): In appreciation of your service as Dad, today I am living according to the principles of your fatherly wisdom.

3) Dad (sitting up, looking at clock): Calvin, what time is ... <FONT size="5">FIVE IN THE MORNING?!</FONT s>

Calvin: Yes. "Early to bed, early to rise," you always say ...

4) Calvin: I was going to buy you a nice present, but "A penny saved is a penny earned," as you say ...

5) Calvin: ... so I'm now earning 6% on the money I didn't spend.

6) Calvin (walking out): Yes, Dad, thanks to you, I'm a happier, better person.

7) Mom (still sleeping beside Dad): Good work, Socrates.

Dad (hiding under covers): I knew we'd made a mistake the minute I saw that little bologna loaf in the hospital bassinet.


OK, let this thread die, now.
To whomever it applies: <FONT size="6">HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!</FONT s>
