Whoa, this takes me back to 2nd grade when I did almost nothing but daydream during class. My daydreams were elaborate science fiction. I got in a lot of trouble for it, both with my parents and the (substitute) teacher. The teacher ended up paddling me for doing it, which was a terrible punishment for being so far ahead of my peers[0] that I had to find a way to compensate.

Did you by any chance went by the name of Spiff in your daydreams? :) Sounds familiar...

Lol. I loved Calvin and Hobbes for many reasons, but one of them was definitely because I could relate. I need to read them again...

I come back to Calvin and Hobbes regularly as an adult and every time I do I'm reminded just how delightful Watterson's work is. Truly a one-of-a-kind comic strip.
