    Muck? Did you say “muck?” Or are you mucking with the censors.

    The more worms you muck, the better quality mire you get.

    Don’t muck the worms. They will get revenge.

    When I was about 7 or 8 I was out in the driveway, frying ants with a magnifying glass to focus the sun rays. It was cool – they ran around frantically then curled up and finally sizzled and popped.

    Mom walked out and found me, and said come in, I want to talk to you. She took me on her lap and told me about Albert Schweitzer, and his principle of reverence for all life. Schweitzer was famous then, I knew who he was, he was like Mother Teresa in those days – universally revered for his hospital work in the jungles of Africa.

    Then she hugged me and said “I love you, and I have reverence for YOUR life.” and put me down.

    It changed my life.

    Calvin is basically good of course, else Hobbes could not stand him, though the cartoon rarely has an episode showing it. His daily doings ARE a lot of fun. Just this one recalled my own experience

    In Belgium snails come out instead of worms. I was there for a few days once, and I’d never seen so many snails in my life.

    If Calvin were a bird, he’d be “robin” the worms of their lives.

    Of course Calvin is basically good. Why would anyone question that? He never does anything truly evil. He has a vivid imagination, and the sometimes has poor judgement, and he sometimes does things that are ill-advised in the spirit of the moment. Yet, does anyone question that he loves his mother and father? Or that he loves Hobbes? Even with Susie, the worst he does is an occasional snowball, or he tries to gross her out by describing his food as something disgusting. I can’t recall a single strip where Calvin has ever done something I would describe as evil.

    If there is any doubt about where Calvins Heart is refer to the baby raccoon arc; "Don’t die little Raccoon, it wouldn’t be very grateful of you to break my heart’ One of the most touching strips.

    When I was very young, we lived in a subdivision surrounded by corn fields. Heavy rains not only flooded everyone’s basements, they brought out the garter snakes. I have an somewhat surreal memory of standing in the rain, looking at the large pile of snakes in the driveway.

    I thinking “mucking” the worms means stepping on them and crushing them into muck. Hobbes expression of horror leads me to think I’m correct.

    Calvin is just the typical 6 year old boy with a lot of imagination. Which can horrify some who’ve forgotten what it means to be that age. And Hobbes too apparently…

    Another rough day at the office; not to mention, traffic both ways! Calvin’s Dad now in his easy-chair, trying to relax and read his book…Calvin: “Hey, Dad, how come everyone else has DVD Recorders, Cable TV (or the equivalent), home computers, Internet access, unlimited freedom, and everything; while we just have to rough it with one landline telephone, and one ordinary color TV set? You know how your poll ratings were in the subbasement yesterday? Well, they’re now all the way down into the subbasement plumbing! But there is still time; you can still make them shoot right through the roof in a moment’s notice if you’ll just spring for it, like other Dads do! Aren’t you worried? Aren’t you concerned? How come you’re just SITTING there?!"Dad: “Roughing it builds character.”Calvin: “AAAAAGH, I should have known!!”Dad: “Well, duh! Now you do. Bath time. Honey, would you?”Mom: “With pleasure!”And yet another well-prepared speech goes PHLLLLLLPP!!!
