I love, love, LOVE all the “realistic” strips with Calvin and Susie!*“He looks like a rabbit to me!”“Well just pretend he’s a baby!’“NO! This is idiotic! I refuse!”Just imagine two adults having this conversation. “Mom” would be off to the sanitarium soon after!*At least Mr. Bun doesn’t look comatose this time.

Just saying, if this is what Susie’s gonna look like when she grows up, and Calvin matures also, he’s gonna be on his knees trying to get a date.

So much drama.

Well, for one thing, Cal doesn’t pretend Hobbes is human.

The difference is that Hobbes is realer than Mr. Bun.

I remember when this came out, I had to check once or twice to be sure they hadn’t mixed up Rex Morgan, M.D. with Calvin or some such.

Brilliantly played out. I like that their hair and wear colours match between imaginary and real.

Calvin’s tie matches his shirt. I love these details.
