    Calvin's tidal wave reminds me of Japanese tsunami drawings.

    A bit of an aside, but I have to say the "fringes" of that wave make me think of grasping fingers reaching out towards the boats to grab them and drag them down. Perhaps that was the intention of the artist?

    I wish I'd been invited to this wedding. I'll bet it was fun.

    If it were up to me, I would make a TV show and movie from this cartoon strip, and make a studio a ton of money. There are years of story lines, available for both. It would be extremely successful. Think of all the adults who grew up on this, and now have kids to introduce to the comic strip.

    Bill Watterson made his position clear from the onset: he did not wish to see his creations commercialized. He does not allow licensing of his images. Technology has advanced dramatically for visual arts so perhaps it would be possible to do justice to the wild imagination of Calvin... but I don't see it happening anytime soon. Pity.

    I'm told I was potty trained before I was 2 years old. Strangely, I don't recall this so clearly someone interfered with my memories.

    Am I the only one who finds it disquieting to know Calvin takes care of all of this without any input from parents?
