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

I wonder if Watterson has seen the Hobbes and Bacon strips, and if so, whether his response is positive, negative, mixed, or neutral. Given his elusive nature, we may never know...

Many years ago, I got some great advice: there's no statute of limitations on an apology. Just apologize!

Me after chirping my own teammates during sports.

Yeah. Pretty much. Here's an excuse.

You know you're going to do it again eventually. It's your one unredeemable flaw. Will you also apologize then? But if you keep repeating it, isn't the apology a shallow and meaningless exercise. Might as well not do it in the first place.

Here's a crazy idea, apologize and learn not to be a dick so you won't do it again.

It really is, a crazy idea.
