    Not a smart move, Dad. Guess who’ll be crawling into your bed tonight because he is too scared to sleep?

    In the two Peanuts strips above, note that the first one is from the earlier days, when Charlie Brown sometimes said “Great Scott,” rather than “Good Grief.”

    In searching for the date for the above comic I came across a forum post about it with the following nod to Hobbes:

    "There is a guy on gocomics who calls himself “Hobbes” (thus you know where you can likely find him often) who seems to have an encyclopedic knowledge of Peanuts as well as C & H."

    Your reputation precedes you Hobbes. :)

    I don’t think it is about the story as much as spending time with your kid?

    I laughed aloud at this one because I had forgotten the twist ending a la Dad. I love Hobbes’ bewilderment in the last panel.

    Unfortunately, Hamster Huey was a known associate of Jimmy Hoffa. Dad knows background that Calvin doesn’t.

    A guy I know feels the same about “Good Night, Moon.” He has two preschoolers so he’s been reading it every night for about 5 years. Their copy wore to pieces and he hoped he was free of it…but Grandma gave the kiddies a hardback!

    If I hated the book that much, I’d have it “accidentally destroyed maliciously,” like Gru did.

    And Dad wonders where Calvin gets his ideas for his snow men. I’m sure there was one with a missing head at some point. At least the one cut in half in front of Dad’s car.

    I always remember that second story as “the shortest fairy tale in existence.”

    +++++

    KIds do like their routine. Many adults too.

    Of course, with a “gooey kabloey,” what did Calvin expect?

    My father-in-law bought a copy of a book of fairy tales with pretty drawings for each set of his grandchildren, and sent it off with a copy of a recording of him reading it. My kids could cuddle up with a good book with Grandpa’s voice from afar. Now I’ve got a grandson, and I need to do that too.

    But what was strange about it is that Grandpa actually read each story as it was written. My husband says he NEVER did that with his own kids, there were always spaceships and eight-footed monsters in Little Red Riding Hood and the like.

    I have never understood why Watterson hasn’t come out with a Hamster Huey book, and done the illustrations himself. He’d be guaranteed a bestseller, and it would allow him to draw or paint something new.

    ah yes, just like the infamous noodle incident, the story of Hampster Huey is a story left to the readers’ imagination.

    It’s just like with Ramona and her “Scoopy the Littlest Steam Shovel” book. Followed by “Big Steve the Steam Shovel.” Which, if you autograph, the library lets you keep!

    I can relate to Calvin here. Once my dad got sick of reading this one story to me, and he hid it in the attic.

    Once when my aunt was staying with us for a few days she told me a bedtime story that she made up as she went along. Next night I wanted the same story — verbatim!
