The syndicate sends a black-and-white Sunday drawing with coloring instructions
(sort of like paint-by-numbers) to the printing company.  Not only could
the company print it in black and white (by not adding colors), they 
could have a lot of fun putting in the wrong colors.  But then they

thought that kind of usage was probably inappropriate for a

Absolutely.  "Dilbert" has got to be one of the funniest strips out.
Also look for _How to Build a Better Life by Stealing Office Supplies_
(or something close to that), which is by the same author and with the

Thanks for editing out the part of my post where I said that I didn't deny
the possibility that the error was made (i.e., I didn't offer my statement
as _proof_, just a factor.) I don't know whether Nichael Cramer made the 
cut, or if it was made in the post he responded to, only that it was made.
Sorry if I'm being overly defensive, but I don't like being corrected on

Don't know about the specific question at hand, but... 

The fact that a location is geographicly impossible should _never_ be used
as proof of what a script-writer or movie/TV-producer said or might have
meant.

never been east of the Sierra's in their life.  Two quick examples: I grew
up about 25 miles from Muncie Indiana.  We found "Close Encounters" a real

Central Indiana.  Likewise I always am amazed by the way that these beach-

>:-)   :-)   :-)   :-)   for the humor impaired

:-< :-< :-< :-< for those interested in comics.

On the original subject, the standard strip inconsistency is the age of
characters, which changes slowly, and usually without notice.

It's hard to find the continuity errors in strips that exist in movies,
since generally it must occur during a three or four panel strips.  Between
threads there is no telling how much time went on.

Of course, there are some mysterious things that go on...

Like all the things "Hobbes" does that Calvin is unlikely to do (for example,
hog-tying himself.)

The dimensions and contents of Snoopy's doghouse is somewhat flexible...

Why would Peppermint Patty rent Snoopy's doghouse for a cross-country airplane
race?  Why would Marcy go along with the gag?

I'm sure there are plenty of others...

I may be wrong, but it seems to me there is a very good posibility that 
Calvin suffers from multiple personality disorder. I mean, look for example 
at the current story line, where Calvin is getting all this mail, that 
happens to originate from his house. One school of thought (the "orthodox" 
one, let's call it) would explain this by saying that it is Calvin who is
writing the letters, and then pretending Hobbes did, as a game. Another one
(the "magical reality" one) would say that Hobbes really produced the 
letters, that somehow the stuffed tiger is really alive. I don't find any of
the two explanations satisfactory. Because stuffed tigers are not alive, and
beacuse a game where you always know that it is really you playing all the
roles cannot be very entertaining.

So, I'm left only with the posibility that Calvin does not really know what
he's doing, for at least part of the time. So, this last school of thought
(the "truly correct one", for lack of a better name), would say that Calvin 
has, at least, two personalities, one the one we all see, and another one, 
represented by Hobbes, that "takes over" Calvin at times, and usually gets
him in trouble. (Though the "public" personality seems very good at that, too).

As I said, I may be wrong, but this does explain lots of things .

I don't know the exact address, but I suspect that the following would
work:

   Jim Davis
   c/o Paws Inc
   Muncie IN

Paws Inc is Davis' production company and is located on Davis' farm
somewhere near Muncie (I had some friends who used to work for Davis).

My real uncertainty is Muncie.  The mailing address may actually be
another, nearby town but I`m pretty sure this is correct.
