How about the way Hobbes always attacks Calvin when he comes home, and Calvin
walks in the house all beat up?  I suppose he could've smacked himself about 
rolled on the ground a bit, but he's been pretty mangled sometimes.  In fact
any time he fights with Hobbes presents this kind of evidence.

Then there was the time when Calvin was outside and he got hit by a snowball
and came in the house to find Hobbes reading a comic book.  "I'm glad to see
you're inside," says C to H.  "It's nice not to have a coat an boots [or
something like that] to take off," says H to us, the readers.  I doubt Calvin
pasted himself with a snowball.  I suppose it could have been Susie, and he 
could have just suspected Hobbes

Anyway, none of this is proof, just sort of anecdotal evidence.

Later,
Jeff

True, but all merchandise *except* books and calendars is bootleg. Has
Watterson (or his syndicate) successfully won a lawsuit over the
creation or selling of bootleg Calvin & Hobbes merchandise? (Or have

3)  Hobbes boosts Calvin up to get the mail from the mailbox Calvin can't
reach (from the "I just check the `bill me later' box on the cards" strip).

4)  Hobbes mounts a tire swing on the tree on a branch Calvin can't reach
(The tire is from Calvin's Dad's car).

5)  Hobbes eats Susie Derkin's cookies (the last strip in the original
'Calvin loses Hobbes' series, where Susie finds Hobbes and has a tea party).

Hobbes is a real tiger.  The evidence is overwhelming.

As inspired by Jeffrey Verdegan:

 Behind them, a panicky I Dunno and Not Me cringe in the corner.  The father 
 is slumped over the front of the chair.  He has a bullet hole through his 
 head.  A smoking .38 lies on the bloodied rug.)

I agree. The problem with Doonesbury is that the humor got angry. Trudeau used
to be great at slamming something/someone in a very subtle way. Nowadays it
seems to be in-your-face and bitter. The subtlety of the humor was what made
Doonesbury the classic it is, simply because not everyone understood it. 

Another thing is that he seems to be telegraphing his last panel more and
more. You know what the punchline is going to be long before you get to it. 

At least there's plenty of old anthologies out there to help us oldsters
remember the good ole days.

I live and work in Canada, and my dentist never bills me, either! He always 
disappears into the next cubicle before I'm out of the chair, delegating
one of his assistants to escort me to the receptionist/billing-clerk.

My employer gives me a salary and benefits, one of which is a dental plan
(paying 80% of routine work, 50% of special services).  It's part of the

     about Donald Trump having to sell off Trump, The Strip because

What a great news group!  I was wondering whether Lynn Johnson had
a third child or not.  I really enjoy the strip.

Calvin and Hobbes is also one of my favorites - my kid's too.  Unfortunately,
they imitate Calvin at times.  Remember the series where Calvin and Hobbes
pushed the car out of the garage?  My kids did the same - fortunately the car
didn't roll across the road.  My favorite was the Sunday strip drawn initially
in the "serious comic strip style" where the wife comes home to an antagonistic
husband and announces she picked up their new baby on the way home, whereupon
the husband ridicules the bundle of joy as a rabbit and announces he won't be
father to a rabbit.  In the last panel, the characters are drawn in their normal
C&H form and we see that it is really Calvin and Susie playing house.  I thought
the strip was hilarious and the presentaion wasthe most creative thing I've seen
on the comic page.  Another favorite was his Dad's explanation of where the sun
goes when it sets.  His parents are as much fun as C & H.  
    By the way, I think I remember reading that Waterson used to do artwork for
Tumbleweeds or Miss Peach.  I think he is the only cartoonists that remmained as
good after his sabbatical as before.  My office mate and I are naming our new
workstations "Calvin" and "Hobbes"

Trivia fact: this technique (having comic-strip characters age in 
real time) was first used in the strip Gasoline Alley by Frank O.
King.  The character Skeezix grew up in real time, starting (I 
think) in the late 1920's.

Most articles of this type have headlines like "PORNOGRAPHY DISTRIBUTED ON

Bloom County (not Outland)  had the best art of anything on the comics
