Calvin, you and Hobbes cut and pasted letters from newspapers instead of writing your ransom note by hand. I thought the purpose of that was to make Susie, as you say in the note, unable to trace and find you.

Calvin’s being framed! There’s no criminal dumb enough to leave his own name in a ransom note! – What they hoped Susie’s thinking, probably.
