Danae: Wow... look how much snow we got last night! everything is covered in a thick blanket of looming catastrophe. Joe: Mm-hmm. Oh, don't worry... the plows made it through just fine, so your school bus will be on time.
And yet around here, the local paper’s letters to the editor are nothing but complaints about the poorly plowed streets. (But not so poorly that school buses can’t get through!)
For all those people over the years now who have had the idea of Danae and Calvin getting together, you need to keep in mind the law of cartoon physics. You see, once a comic strip stops, the characters no longer have the power to stay the same age. Since 6-year-old Calvin retired 16 years ago, that would make him 21 years old now, while Danae is still only 9 years old. That’s just not right.
Your right Wiley, Lio is a much more likely candidate for Danae. :-p
(and going by the ad at the top of Lio’s page, Calvin isn’t going to be dating anyone)
Does anyone remember an old Peanuts strip from the ’60s? Charlie Brown and Linus were discussing their prospects upon becoming adults. Linus asks Charlie when he’ll turn 21. Charlie Brown works it out, then looks up is an expression of doom and gloom and says, “1984!”
Wiley, I’m sure if you wrote in a thread of Danae’s family moving to the deep South it wouldn’t be too far fetched for her to be betrothed to a 21 year old? ;-P
@freeholder1: Um, I guess you didn’t hear the allegations of DELIBERATE efforts by NYC sanitation workers to hamper snow removal progress. According to a whistleblower, it was meant as a protest of much-needed budget cuts. So in that case, left-wing public-service unions (not Tea Partiers) were to blame…allegedly.
Allegations? Oh, that’s right. If someone says something you like, it’s immediately become a proven fact. Come back a a couple years when they have the case finished, Junie.
And I know way too many unionites who vote Republican cause they don’t know what’s good for them either.

If she could only get the plows to join the NYC Sanitation Dept. union; that would kill all traces of efficiency.

Maybe you should work on getting expelled, Danae.

Danae earns an A+ for creative thinking. Those who don’t try, won’t succeed (without a great deal of luck or nepotism).

We had a foot of snow Dec 26. Dec 27 started school vacation. You never saw two more disappointed kids. Like getting sick in summer.

She could petition for smaller government and less spending!

I agree .pots. If you want to make sure the roads don’t roll, keep putting in Tea Partiers.

EWG: just thought of the original world-ending marriage.
Calvin from “Calvin and Hobbes” and Danae.
If they had a kid, it would be the Anti-Christ, for sure…
My mother used to tell me that if I ever had kids, she hoped they’d turn out like Calvin. I told her that would be better than having boring kids.

The solar “snow plow” is always efficient, eventually. The bigger problem than snow is a thaw, then the re-freezing to ice that puts you down.

@Dogsniff, being a Genius is cheap–only costs $.99 per month here.

Um - not to mention that the “Wiley” that posted happens to be the Author, so he should know.

I agree with CaptX, Liō needs to dump Eva Rose for Danae.
