Fun trivia about the oldest zoon boys, they only learned to read because of Calvin and Hobbes. Fabulous vocabulary, fun stories, and excellent art, it just drew them in.

We own the entire collection of C and H, Far Side, and a lot of Bloom County, and quote them regularly. Great stuff.

Reminds me of a story I read in AMERICA ALONE.

In India, General Sir Charles Napier came across a suttee being practiced and asked what it was. The suttee, he was told, is a practice where a widow is burned alive at the funeral pyre of her deceased husband.
He responded thus: “In England we hang men who do that. So go ahead, build your funeral pyres, and we will build our gallows.”

Fritz works on campaigns? I might need to pick his brain.

Worth mentioning I’m always looking for volunteers to assist with the campaign if anyone is interested in such things. Ah yes, shameless self promotion.

“Bad news dad. Your polls are way down. You rate especially low among tigers and six-year-old white males. If you want to stay Dad I’d suggest you adopt some key planks to your platform. Some special interest groups are in for a surprise. Of those polled virtually all flavor increased allowances and the commencement of driving lessons.”
