1. almost 15 years ago on Calvin and Hobbes

   Getting ‘A’s was always easy–probably why school was so boring. And Calvin grew up to be Frazz!

   For heaven’s sake, Calvin is a little snot who doesn’t like school and doesn’t want to go. What kid does want to go to school? I hated it. It was BORING!!! And if Calvin wasn’t such a little rotter, the cartoon wouldn’t be as much fun.

   So far as his parents being impatient, unsympathetic, not spending time with him, or just being too mean for words–well, he’s lucky they don’t sell him to the lowest bidder. They can’t be his buddies, they have other obligations. Not the least of which is, in this case, the almost impossible task of keeping him alive until adulthood. If ever there were a child so bent on unwitting self-destruction….

   I don’t like watching any sports,except the Olympics, and coming from St. Louis that’s outright heresy; I hate-hate-hate reality shows unless they’re true reality (e.g., Life in the ER–real people, real places). Books are good. There are shows we enjoy, but they are ordinary TV, not pseudoreality or overpaid grown men playing little boys’ games.

   I grew up with Big Band (Dad) and Carole King, Gordon Lightfoot, and the like (Mom). So naturally I gravitated toward heavy metal, Irish folk, and Gregorian chants!

   @Albert2010-Actually, we do have tails; thy’re just really, really short and hidden under our skin. Bruise or break your tailbone some day and you will never forget you have that little tail at the tail (!) end of your spine.

   Mom may not be the best cook in the world, but remember, Dad’s cooking is far worse.

   Not only is Calvin a boy, he’s about 115% boy. I love the dichotomy ‘this is pretty, I’ll use it to hurt Susie.’ So very 6 years old!
