Why does Susie call Calvin Dandelion Head? I have not heard that epithet before. Is it because he has no substance (just a lot of fluff), or heās scatter-brained, or what?
@Puddleglum2ā¦Susie called Calvin a ādandelion headā because his blond, spiky hair looks like the top of the dandelion flower which is called a dandelion head. The fluffy yellow bits are attached to the seeds and they float away in the breeze.
Poor Susie! Hope always springs eternal for her. Rather than avoiding the little ādandelion headā like the plague because heās always so mean to her, she keeps coming back with a big smile on her face, hoping that this is the day heāll finally let her play with him and Hobbes! Unfortunately for her, he never does.
Hobbes is irritated because he wanted Suzie to stay so he could get some āsmoochiesā from her. Calvin shot that one down, at least for that dayā¦.
It is a great tribute to Bill Watterson that there are consistently more comments on this strip, even though it has been complete for a long time, than any other strip! It hits the heart of everyone with timeless ideas.

Calvin apparently thinks āfhereās a method to his madnessā, but to me it seems more that thereās a madness to his method.

It just occured to me that politicians are a lot like diapers. They both need changing occasionally for the same reason.
