We both laughed when we read your words.
Now if only medicine could fix all of my foibles, too...

This reminds me of my childhood.

I used to laboriously cut out Calvin and Hobbes comics and save them in a metal box. When I got ambitious I would glue them to sheets of paper to make the pages for an, eventual, home made comic book.

That never came to be.

The cheap paper of a newspaper doesn't last very well.

As it turned out the new found wealth that accompanies work I was able to buy all the Calvin and Hobbes comic books so all the cutting out of comics was effort in vain.

Now siblings at the other end of the age stack are reading the collection of comic books and generally ruining them all. Sigh . . . I try to hold my tongue. Nothing is permanent with this life. But somehow those comic books incapsulates my childhood.

This last comment is more for John:

If I were to recommend only one Calvin and Hobbes comic book it would be the Calvin and Hobbes 10th Anniversary Edition. In that book Watterson writes his comments under selected comments. His comics are actually the reason to get the book. He has interesting things to say about the creative process, artistic integrity of comics, etc.

During college and our first year of marriage, John and I cut out and saved many Randolph Itch, 2 a.m. comics with the same intent. I still have a pile of them tucked into one of my sketchbooks.

It's now been discontinued, which is a shame because it's a quirky, clever, and usually very funny comic.

If we receive a windfall of money, we'd like to get The Complete Calvin and Hobbes, in addition to your suggestion, of course. One can never wish too much...
