I just noticed the new title of the strip: Exploring Calvin and Hobbes. I guess I just never paid attention before. So I must be very much like Calvin himself. And we’re all a little Spaceman Spiff, these days.

Unless I am mistaken, Albert Einstein was reported to daydream during class when he was a youngster. Wait! Could it be? Is Calvin actually Einstein in his childhood years?.Naaaaa, likely not…
