strip in Bill Watterson style.

Than believes that Watterson's Calvin and Hobbs is “the greatest comic strip of all time.”

He got the style dead on. I am sure Mr. Watterson must be really honored by that.

Exactly according to this comic strip.

At a time in the fifties when so many kids had "grey flannel suit" dads, I had a daddy who picked me up from kindergarten every day, then drove me back to his small accounting firm. There he dealt with clients, and I played soldiers and Indians, using staplers and paper clips as part of the arsenals of both sides.
