I had to abandon my plan to make Calvinesque snowmen this winter...and I must admit that the Easter Island snowmen are far more creative. |

I got that, thanks. No struggle there. Calvin and Hobbes is one of my favorite comic strips, up there with Pogo. Dan A. wrote: I assume the picture is of John Calvin, the comic strip character's namesake? You assume rightly, sir, and there my struggle starts. The last thing a lapsed Presbyterian needs is more of him, and then to face the notion of Reformation snowmen brightening my yard? Although the whiff of idolatry's a nice touch. ![]() And here I was hoping I could just do a quick hit-and-run and get away with it... ![]() Had no idea there was any actual namesakery involved. We're gettin' deep, there. |

I had plans to make snowmen like those created by Calvin the comic strip character, but scrubbed them due to lack of decent gloves! |

I just looked up the Wiki article on Calvin and Hobbes. I was looking for something in particular: its influences. According to Wiki, there are three: Pogo, Krazy Kat and Peanuts - all great, but I've always assumed that a big influence for Calvin and Hobbes must have been archy and mehitabel. Then again, archy and mehitabel was such a great strip that its influence must be on pretty much everything after it. |
