Cute. Comic strips encourage our sense of Humor and is good for so many things, health, social relations,creativity, feeling of being alive, self-esteem and so much more. Did you know that on average a child laugh 200 times every day? Adults laugh only 15 times per day. We should surround our self with children all the time, and let them show us what makes life so much fun. Hehe. Cute.

His moment. Following what his heart was telling him, instead of what society expects... Didn't Einstien leave school at 15? Who knows what Calvin would have become after he grew up.

I remember when i was little and i was daydreaming and looking outside the window, or thrying to come up a melody listening to the birds singing (which -for me- it was louder than the voice of the teacher )the teacher used to say "Annie are you there?" or "Annie go on (reading)" (and my friend beside me would tell me where to start from :) ).. We should let children free..find what they are interested in..let them play... experience the world with all their senses..and let them lead...

Hobbes challenged Calvin's assumptions by being a stuff tiget to begin with yet constantly impacting Calvin's moment by moment experience, both as an antagonist as well as a co-conspirator. The 2 of them were a healthy antidote to complacency and staid thinking. I was constantly enthralled by the little koan like lessons the comic strip presented. Thank you, Bill Watterdson, I miss you.
