This comic makes me smile wistfully.


No, it wasn't drawn by Bill, but I think this comic is really well done. I found it while looking online for some photos for the school paper I'm laying out. It brought a smile to my face, since it seems appropriate for the tone of the strip, if you fast-forward 20 years into the future. Calvin was a bit of a troublemaker, but in a gentle, awesome way.

I got the image from this site here, who got it from somewhere else as well. Probably that picture site in the bottom right, but I have no idea who the original artist is.

Linking on Lost and Calvinism


A couple of quick hits for the early post today...

- If you didn't get enough of my liveblog on LOST last night, Cousin Brandon has an exhaustive look at the premiere on his blog. Check out part one here and part two here. I chip in a couple of comment on part two, because I'm ill like that.

Reading Brandon's analysis reminds me of how incredible deep the whole storyline is though, and how you can find great, interlocking content across all aspects of LOST. And, that's all I'll say for now, in the interest of 1) not rambling on about the show for yet another post and 2) preventing myself from ruining the episode for others.

- In completely random news, Bill Watterson randomly gave his first interview in more than 20 years! It was for Cleveland.com, and you can read it here. As a warning though, it is kind of disappointing. The writer comes off more like an excited fanboi than a journalist, and he's more obsessed with the legacy of the strip then the most obvious question - What the eff is he doing now?

Calvin and Hobbes is still my favorite cartoon strip of all-time, because it lasted pretty much the perfect amount of time, and the quality never really suffered. Pearls Before Swine and Get Fuzzy are trying to get in my pantheon with Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts and The Far Side.

Brandon's picture is from his blog, and the Calvin and Hobbes picture is from the Wiki page on the strip.
