wisdom according to calvin & hobbes...

I love Calvin and Hobbes - perhaps the most brilliant and clever 'strip' ever to appear in print.

During one of our excessively heavy periods of snow here in America's heartland, Blogless T sent me a link to the most complete line-up I've ever seen of the deliciously demented 'Snowman' series, two of which made guest appearances on Miz Minka's blog. Awesome!

Recently, I was looking for more. An on a quick C&H cruise around the internet, I happened upon a treasure: 25 Great Calvin and Hobbes Strips (subtitled, Why Bill Watterson is our hero). Considering the recently closed 'bow and arrow deer hunting season' - thinning out the beyond generous numbers of deer here in Kawzie County - I lost it over the one below. If it's too small to read, click on it for a hopefully larger version. Or just lose yourself in the aforementioned site.

What a delightfully askew journey into winter with Calvin and Hobbes! You've brought laughter and joy to a chilly, foggy day here and we thank you, DD!

In life, there are few better gifts to equip yourself and others with than a fine appreciation of the absurd!

Enjoy the snow, but I do have to wonder what your snow people look like ... :D

Hugs! Barb :)

Very, very funny. I thought I lived in America's heartland--we have more deer in our county than in any other county in Ohio, and we have the biggest "kills" every hunting season.

Calvin & Hobbs is one of my favorites, but I can't stand the Calvin figures on the packs of pickups, the ones on Chevys with the little guy peeing on Ford logos, for example.

No worries, Barb. Thank goodness, I spend my time being envious of comedic and demented minds...and not any actual creating! Much love to you and yours...

That peeing figure does look like Calvin, Scout. How entirely yucky and perverse. Like Anne of Green Gables, I disdain the workings of a mind that has not the imagination to be clever, poetic and interesting (like Watterson), but rather angry and in-your-face.
