You keep that shit, you know its going to be a collectors item some day. And even if it doesn't it still should be a family heirloom.

When I became an adult a piece of me died. I miss Hobbes. Just like I miss Mr Rogers. My inner child loves them so.

I literally just picked up one of his books for bathroom reading today. Watterson's. Not your dad's.

His dad's books are amazing though, if you're into larvae.

I respect him for leaving when he did but I miss him.

I hear he frequently hangs at Cuyahoga Falls library. I've thought about trying to see him but I realized how creepy that is.

Hold that thought. He's a notoriously private person.

I know. Hence me never doing such a creepy thing. I wouldn't approach him. Even to tell him we named our son Calvin because of his art.

Hes making a joke at how to write cartoons following that satirical method of phrases and sfx to create humor.

I think that's what Scooby doo says when he doesn't understand something.

Scooby-Doology expert here, you're thinking of "Arooo-oo" as an indicator of misunderstanding, and "Arooo?" as a sound of confusion 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

where "Aarrooooo!" is the identifier of the 37th President of the United States; Richard M. Nixon. Note the enunciation of the 2/3
