I admit it...

for a second I thought this was a thread devoted to Sam Waterston.

I used a Barnes and Noble gift certificate to buy the boxed set of the Complete Calvin and Hobbes. I plan to include it in my will to my favorite grandchild.

No. Read it to them. Now. Can't tell you how awesome it is to read it to my youngest (age 8) and have the 10 and 13 year old come in and want to listen. Then they take turns deciding who gets to voice whom. The little girl always wants to read Hobbes.

This a perfect example of "Yes Chuck".

I swear there has to be two of you.

Or, you can just skip the books and read it online.

This is available for streaming on Netflix now.

Good for getting psyched up for a game of Calvinball.

I watched this: it was, predictably, an hour and a half of people talking about how brilliant Calvin and Hobbes is. It did tell me a couple of things about Watterson that I didn't know, but by and large, it wasn't terribly interesting. It really, really could have used some input from the man himself.

Tonks review is about right. Still enjoyable.
