In today’s strip, Calvin’s Dad is practicing the lost art of writing on a pad of paper using a pen or pencil.He is a lawyer, but the shape of the pad looks like letter-size paper, not legal size. Perhaps he is practicing the lost art of writing a letter.Maybe he is using the lost art of cursive handwriting.Fortunately, Bill Watterson’s art has not been lost, and it is still available for us to enjoy each day — even if we no longer practice the lost art of reading a newspaper.
