I just noticed the new title of the strip: Exploring Calvin and Hobbes. I guess I just never paid attention before. So I must be very much like Calvin himself. And we’re all a little Spaceman Spiff, these days.

It was artwork like this — rather, the pressure not to submit artwork like this — that no doubt caused Watterson’s dissatisfaction with the newspaper biz. The word "epic’ is an understatement.

Hmm, the C&H wiki mentions “Shake-n’-Bake”, “Medium Well”, “Deep Fat-fry”, “Frappe” and “Liquefy”, but doesn’t claim to be definitive: http://calvinandhobbes.wikia.com/wiki/Spaceman_Spiff

Unless I am mistaken, Albert Einstein was reported to daydream during class when he was a youngster. Wait! Could it be? Is Calvin actually Einstein in his childhood years?.Naaaaa, likely not…
