i think this is my first post too…been registered many months.
i just had to say that my 9 year-old boy was introduced to Calvin & Hobbes last summer by his loving parents who thought he’d enjoy the humor. We travel a lot in the car and he would read and laugh and then we’d find out he didn’t know why it was funny…he just knew it was supposed to be funny.
Eventually, he began to catch more and more of the humor. Unfortunately, he enjoyed it too much and just like Calvin in this strip today, my son began to mimic some of Calvin’s words and actions.
I regret to say I had to hide all of our C&H books, and they remain in hiding to this day. I hope some day my son can handle reading C&H without the urge to blurt out or impulsively do some horrible thing! :-(
while i was here, I contributed a flag as well.
(good news here though…my son’s behavior and attitude improved immediately after hiding the C&H books and I hope we can re-introduce him to C&H in the future…like when he’s 25 years old) :-)
