Calvin! The cutest kid ever :) I guess I can never get enough of him, no matter how much I keep collecting his stickers. Well, although the Calvin comics are referred to as sardonic, I seem to differ. I feel that he's extremely cute, albeit smart for a 6 year old, and completely adorable. Yup.....6 year old; look at the 1st strip here n you'll se why :)
And then there are these cute statements that he makes so often; one which I almost cherish, "You don't get to be mom if you can't fix everything just right!" Haha.....he said this to Hobbes once, when he was in a fix.....n I promise, I could go on and on......with Calvin n Hobbes (his cute stuffed tiger). Some other features of C&H which gets me into fits of laughter are his Get Rid Of Slimy GirlS club (main target Susie Derkins), his snowman games, his reactions to food (see the 2nd strip above), the completely crazy games of Calvin Ball, and his cute interactions with Susie Derkins.
Some sources say that Watterson portrayed the French theologist John Calvin in the form of our little buddy......dunno.....but yup Calvin's cute questions on the existence of God and then his immediate fear that he might have offended Him do insist on his belief in Him; but hey, aren't we going too far in interpreting that in some complex philosophical light? He's a kid, and his concerns are so innocent, wonder how we can't see that clear!
Whatever......Ilove Calvin.......n he's simply a very cute, witty, naughty, n really curious little kid to me :)
I pray Mr. Watterson.....please resume your Calvin creations. That's why you must've been sent to this world. Please, please come back :)

Calvin is the first thing I turn to in the Deccan Chronicle supplement...I love it when he gives his father his 'report card', and when he has lunch with Susie, poor girl!
hehe...he's the best ;)
