Back in the '90s this strip taught me that Americans don't use the word "fringe".

Yeah 'fringe' makes me think of these jackets:

Yeah, it's odd that they apply it to jackets but not to hair doing the same thing.

They use it a lot in a political context.

No, I know the literal word exists (e.g. the TV show by that name). I mean that they don't use it for hair.

Why do they have suitcases?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Those are lunchboxes. I see how one might make that mistake, given their size relative to the kids. Either the lunxhboxes are comically large or the kids are comically small.

i think it's more that people expect lunchboxes to have rounded corners

Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes
