**Selling out is usually more a matter of buying in. Sell out, and you’re really buying into someone else’s system of values, rules and rewards.**
Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier, you are called to the red courtesy phone.

Definitely one of my favorite strips of all time. Watterson nailed it.

I just pulled my collection of Calvin and Hobbes from the bookshelf last night. I haven’t read the collections in quite some time. It is long overdue, although I’m sure it will just highlight the frustrations we’re going through the past few years.

Any C&H cartoon you see on a t-shirt, or anything similar is pirated. Bill Watterson does not license Calvin & Hobbes in any way.
IMO, it’s the best comic strip ever made. I love the dad’s dry humor.

One of my favorite quotes is from Calvin, “The good Lord put us all here to do a certain amount of work, and I’m so far behind I’ll never die.”

Calvin...my favorite little monster...
I have a half dozen C&H books. Need to pull a couple out soon.

Yep. I love Far Side, but it is the second best. Watterson is a genius. Larson may be too, but still...

His explanation to Calvin about color film was comedy genius.

Perfect.
Last-minute panic, the “on” switch for ingenuity.
Are we there yet?

So what has LTC Lohmeier got to do with it?
To: Fido969
Think for a minute about where he got the names “Calvin” and “Hobbes”.
To: zeugma
When Calvin and Hobbes ceased being published in the newspaper I quit reading the comics.
My daughters bought me the full bound set of Calvin and Hobbes cartoons. Two big heavy volumes, not the smaller volumes.
One of my many favorites was when Dad tried to convince Calvin that the world before the 1930s was all black and white.

Hanging on the wall, in the 17th C homestead, in the finest Spencerian Script, was a framed quote....hung strategically to see as you went out the front door, to begin your day...
"GOD GIVE ME PLENTY OF WORK, AND THE STRENGTH TO DO IT."
