Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
He has the makings of a great businessman - or a corporate lobbyist! But with Calvinâs wicked ingenuity and self-confidence, I see him being the CEO. Heaven help us.
Lewreader, I always bought the educational stuff for my daughterâŠeven if it was sometimes more fun than strictly educational! Learning is learning, even if the lesson is just in how to have some fun with the parentsâŠCalvin even has fun on the camping tripsâŠjust reread the comments to his dad. You canât tell me he didnât have fun watching Dadâs face!
I am like Calvin⊠I love the museum gift shops! Only I am not so lucky as to get Mom to pay for it, and my wife wonât! She agrees itâs âscience junkâ. But hey! The museum has to pay its electric bill, doesnât it!
Also, I am sure at this point in the game that Watterson could start coming out with some limited edition âjunkâ or a Sunday only strip and I am sure he now has the clout to ignore the pressure. Câmon Bill! Pleeeaaasssse???
One of my prized possessions came from just such a gift shop at Thomas Jeffersonâs Monticello. One of the two trees that still existed from when he was alive died recently and I bought a bowl made from the wood of his Tulip Poplar tree.
Watterson didnât license his work, but there was a few legit items that had his characters. A couple of calenders, two textbooks, and a T-Shirt in a traveling art exhibit.
Anything past them stole the pictures, and was not licensed by Watterson or Universal Press Syndicate.
Iâm glad that Watterson didnât overexpose C&H, and even happier still that we see less and less of the stickers depicting Calvin urinating on a truck logo.
Well theyâre headed for the exit and Calvin managed not to bite anyone⊠Now weâll see if he can make it to the car without using his new horns to perforate someoneâs backside?
Yeah! He could claim that Batman Begins and The Dark Knight have great value as social commentary and that Batman: The Animated Series has some of the most beautiful animation on TV!
For a while there were a lot of window decals on pickup trucks depicting CalvinâŠUNOWAT.
Also, I have a t-shirt depicting C&H with a caption â1986 to 1996 - thanks for the memoriesâ. Wonder if itâs legit. I would have posted a picture but donât know how. Any suggestions?
Yes, educational. Just recently he achieved worldwide acclaim for the discovery of a new dinosaur in Utah, a 14-horned tricerotops, that he named Kosmoceratops calvinii. I canât wait to see the hat they make for that one!
The incipient lawyer in Calvin manages to make his case before the court of Mom and guilts the judge and wins his case. This kid is a pistol, no doubtâŠ.
Calvin is on the horns of a dilemma, or should I say the horns of a âdilemmaâ are on Calvin. Batman! Batman! Batman! Batman!⊠I love those lyrics.

GâMorning, Mike, Marg & Grog!

Someone correct me if my memory fails, but didnât Watterson refuse to license any of this kind of merchandising?
tbree over 14 years ago
This is the best evidence yet that Calvin will grow up to be a paleontologist,
Bittermelon of Truth over 14 years ago
I donât know about that, tbree.
In the May 4 1988 Calvin said: âArchaeologists have the most mind-numbing job on the planet.â
I just think heâd rather take the credit without having to brush and sift through tons of dirt ;)

mblase75 over 14 years ago
LX013, youâre surely aware that C&H was never licensed (legally) for any of those products except the book collections?

Calvin has three ways to go given his intelligence. A politician, a businessman or, more than likely a con man

thebird55: Thanx for the tip. I just tried it but the image was too big so I deleted. Iâll start a new comment to experiment.

If you figure out how to resize those things, let me know!

Wilco thebird55: I just hope I havenât messed anyone up with my experiments. Iâm done for now. Nietall.

How come Calvin knows his dinosaur stuff is junk, but his mom didnât?
As for a âgood politician,â thatâs an oxymoron.
