I asked mom if I was a gifted child. She said they certainly wouldn't have paid for me.

You know, sometimes kids get bad grades in school because the class moves too slow for them. Einstein got D's in school. Well guess what, I get F's!!!

I don't enjoy lettering very much, but that's the way I write and that belongs in the strip because the strip is a reflection of me.

I'm willing to take the blame if the strip goes down the drain, and I want the credit if it succeeds. So long as it has my name on it, I want it to be mine.

For no reason I can think of, I've wandered far astray. And that is how I got to where I find myself today.

Calvin: Dad where do babies come from? Dad: Well Calvin, you simply go to Sears, buy the kit and follow the assembly instructions. Calvin: I came from Sears? Dad: No you were a blue-light special at K-Mart - almost as good and a lot cheaper!

It's going to be a grim day when the world is run by a generation that doesn't know anything but what it's seen on TV.
