In the recent post-U.S. election thread, I made the claim that polls are b.s. But maybe the problem is that they don't focus on the right issues. Like homework. Or bedtime. Or choice of mom as running mate.

Enter Calvin, not-so-professional pollster, who strove to impress upon his dad the importance of considering his image, character, and degree of permissiveness in his "campaign" to remain dad.

Calvin and Hobbes did a couple of strips that poked fun at the different soap opera comic strips (Rex Morgan, Mary Worth, etc.)

Back in the late 80s/early 90s, Japan's economy was doing pretty well. Indeed, there was even concern among alarmists that Japan would be able to simply buy America out, at last "winning WWII." Reality kicked in when the economic bubble burst, but for a while there it was good business to learn some Japanese.

And thus there was Mangajin, a magazine to help young business people learn about the Japanese language through the medium of comics.

We'll be looking at five pages, each an individual strip. I should mention that the print is kind of tiny in the translation notes, so you might want to have your zoom function handy.

SKJAM!

It's late at night for me and most people, and none of the new shows on US TV amuse me. As I was surfing for entertainment I found this classic gem.

It's so hard to make comedy look so easy sometimes.

Have a laugh, carry on.

Saw this on another discussion board, and had to share.

Because Sunday's are best enjoyed with ease and a smile.

(yeah, guilty of shorting everyone, I will post what I can find of this adventure *next* Sunday).

In the meantime, an appetizer.

( Not one of my strengths. )

The only thing better to waking up and finding that the snow has stopped falling is waking up and the snow has stopped falling and Calvin & Hobbes have a snow page on scans_daily. Here is small collection of gems (and aren't they all?) from Calvin & Hobbes fun with snow.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I've posted this the past couple of years, so i thought i might as well post it here, in our new home. As it's nearly Christmas Eve here, I present a sentimental Christmas Poem, courtesy of Calvin and Hobbes.

Current Music: Slade - Merry Christmas Everybody

For my last post before the move, I thought I'd post an Amanda Conner commission I found online (and which isn't mine) which encapsulates much of what has made this place so much fun...

It has Dick Grayson as Robin, it has Spider-Man, it has cute kids, implied violence (and spanking at that!) and the promise of candy... what better image to summarise us? :)

( Well, maybe there's ONE comic strip more appropriate for a goodbye )
