3. When was this published?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

4. I tried to enlarge the strip to see if I could read the date,

and it looks like 1987. The strip was published from 1985 to 1995.

7. The only date I see is "11-10." November 10th? I don't see a year.

When I blow up the bottom, it gets too blurry, if there's a date in it.

8. It looks like 1987.

It ran from '85 to '95, so it must be.

I remember the chagrin I felt when I heard it was being discontinued.

11. Where is the date located? That tiny print in the middle @ the bottom?

It's too blurry for me to read, but it looks like a copyright sentence. ???

Anyway, that's eery that it's so applicable now.

15. It's in the third panel, just below the yearbook Calvin's holding.

This reminds me of a jar of orange marmalade I once saw in an Italian grocery store in North Chicago.

The product itself looked great, and the label was something out of the Smithsonian. Very appealing.

But you could clearly make out that the grocer had tried to scratch out the expiration date, such that all I saw was 19*7 (this was in '95).

I took it home anyway, and it was the best orange marmalade I've ever had before or since.

13. I loved Calvin and Hobbes

I remember how disappointed I was when it was discontinued.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

14. A reflection of its time; conceived of and drawn during the discussion of Reagan's nomination

of Bork to the SCOTUS. Do people feel that was too much?

16. Don't you think that a T-shirt and a keg are

a little different from a blackface?

[mac56]

18. I'm flattered that you think I created this comic strip.

Nowhere did I suggest what you just asked.

[Raven]

19. I wasn't suggesting that you were. I was just asking a question.

[mac56]

20. Then yes.
