    Oh, man... This is one strip where the age of the cartoon shows... Kids nowadays likely have never seen a VCR, let alone knowing the difference between VHS and Beta...

    And yet the Oliver Twist referral remains consistent. Something never go out of style. :)

    Especially if they're moulting... although I understand why they left when they heard Dad coming up...

    My favorite is has snowmen lined up with their stick arms saluting as Calvin's Dad comes up the walkway to the house.

    Too funny.

    What? No running and screaming?? No CalvinBall?

    ps: My spellchecker recognizes CalvinBall as a legitimate word. B)

    I always am suspicious of people who use the word brisk. Like they are really saying cold but are all happy about it.

    I'm Canadian so I'm very familiar with the definition. Brisk means cold enough to be exhilarating without causing shivers. Crisp means the grass is frozen enough that it crunches when you walk on it.

    "Brisk" is similar, in my mind, to when the British use "bracing" to describe something... it usually means chilly, in my experience!

    Bracing falls between brisk and crisp.

    All three are much warmer than 'It was so cold I saw a banker with his hands in his own pockets.'
