I couldn't sleep a couple weeks ago, and I didn't feel like reading anything I had available...Then I spotted my Calvin and Hobbes collection. Excellent bed time reading material. The first comic had the word defenestration, which I learned only 2 weeks ago (it means "to exit out a window").
As a kid I found the comics full of great ideas, and funny, 'cause who thinks and does that?...As an adult, I think I felt that cause it's an adult trying to explain a kid's perception of an unlimited world to other adults. I like it just because it points out how silly perception can be...and I can relate...
I suggest re-reading them all over again once every couple years, just for a giggle.
