1. 44 minutes ago on Calvin and Hobbes

   I can see no reason why I would have ever wanted a hoard of people following me around with cameras flashing, asking me for a selfie, my autograph, or insisting on asking me about aspects of my personal life I would never have intentions of sharing. Those who seek such attention and adulation must truly come from a different planet than I do.

   Perhaps it’s just me, but m a y b e today Mrs. chain-yanker has a hint of a smile on her face in the last panel….

   For reasons too long to go into here, I once moved 7 times in ten years. Was it an adventure? Yes. But at no time did I ever enjoy the actual moving process!

4. about 1 hour ago on Arlo and Janis

   Aha! Arlo has a magic wand! Albeit, it does look a bit different than those described in the books and shown in the movies, but remember, the wand chooses the wizard! The secret that he was a student of magic makes itself very apparent in the third panel as he is holding his wand and sparks fly from the end of it (I’ll bet he used it to start the fire!). I wonder which school of magic he went to?

   Apparently Calvin has never seen Wile E. Coyote at work. He can fall from untold heights, get hit with anvil, and then plastered by a train or a truck . . .and get up and walk it off. Granted, he may be a little wobbly, but nevertheless he redoubles his efforts to catch the roadrunner.

   I’m a bit surprised Henry’s regular clothes double as a wet suit when he goes scuba diving.

   I like Mrs. Olsen. She is yanking Caulfield’s chain under the ruse that she is doing him the favor of not having to procrastinate to get an assignment done….with nary even a hint of a smile while doing so.

   I knew a lady who was a real life Mrs. Horner. She was 96 years old and a former teacher. If there was ever a social event or a family reunion, there was literally a line of people waiting to talk to her. She was always upbeat and smiling and I never heard anyone say a negative thing about her, nor did I ever hear a disparaging word about anyone come from her mouth. She sure seemed to be a picture of health, but no one would ever know one way or another because she never, ever complained about anything in her life, you just heard her say how fortunate she was to have led the life she lived and was happy to see everyone…and somehow always directed the conversation to hear all the good things in their lives.

   I also knew someone who always had something to complain about. Regardless of how much you tried to brighten her day, she would have none of it as she would find something that wasn’t right, and would genuinely resent if you pointed out something positive. I was surprised when she told me one time that she “hated going to gatherings because no one talks to me.” She truly had no idea of the effect of her constant complaining had on other people, nor why they would avoid her for her want of sharing such misery.

   It’s my hope to be a Mr. Horner in other peoples’ lives :0)

   I think LIz thought she had her mom trapped with the alternative thought of not attending college and staying home, and was hoping for the cheques to come her way anyhow. Her expression in the last panel shows what a wake-up call that thought process was!

    Rose has shown a big difference between men and women. When women talk, they need someone there to be listening to them. Men….not so much….especially at their work bench!
