Verbing weirds language.

I find my life is a lot easier the lower I keep everyone's expectations.

The only permanent rule in Calvinball is that you can never play it the same way twice! (Calvin)

I'd always enjoyed the comics more, and felt that as long as I was unemployed it would be a good chance to pursue that and see what response I could get from asyndicate, as I didn't have anything to lose at that point. So I drew up a comic strip - this was in 1980 - and sent it off and got rejected. I continued that for five years with different comic strip examples 'til finally Calvin and Hobbes came together. But it's been a long road.

Well, remember what you said, because in a day or two, I'll have a witty and blistering retort! You'll be devastated THEN

Dad: Honey, have you seen my glasses? I can"t find them. Mom: I haven't seen them. Calvin: (with glasses, to Dad) Calvin, go do something you hate! Being miserable builds character!

If good things lasted forever, would we appreciate how precious they are?
