Missing large

Calvinist1966 Free

Born in 1966. Live in the UK. Favourite strip is Calvin and Hobbes so - like many others - I have taken my username from it. My second favourite is Andy Capp. The Wizard of Id and Red and Rover are in strong competition for third place.

    Every land has its own land of make believe within its government. That’s the point of today’s Classic.

    Peter Pan actually lived in Never Never Land. I think the Fink is more Captain Hook than Peter Pan.

    As I mentioned when this story arc last appeared four years ago, it reminds me of a real-life incident involving A. A. Milne and his wife and their son Christopher Robin. It occurred while they were away at Ashdown Forest – the inspiration for One Hundred Acres Wood. They returned to their home in London to find that it had been burgled while they were away. A. A. Milne was able to find some humour in it and related in a letter to a friend that the burglars hadn’t taken much but had searched around the house for jewellery while the jewellery box “looked down laughing at them”. He suggested that they had thought the jewellery box was a tea caddy.

    I like one this one too. As I have said before, it is one of six story arcs from 1989 which are personal favourites of mine. 1989 is my favourite Calvin and Hobbes year as it has the highest number of my favourite story arcs.

    “You don’t try to prove Hobbes is real because you have no proof”. That’s right. I am glad you have finally admitted that I am NOT trying to prove that Hobbes is real but giving my reasons for why – over a period of nearly four years from May 1988 to April 1992 – I finally decided that I had been wrong in assuming Hobbes to be part of Calvin’s magnificent imagination.
