Today’s assignment is to write about a favorite comic strip.  Calvin and Hobbes has been my favorite for many many years, since my own son was about that age.  His sense of imagination, spirit of adventure, and stubborn attitude were my own boy spilled out in ink.  My son hated school.

My son had his own ideas about what to do with his time that usually did not include cleaning, bathing, or doing homework.  He also hated bedtime and loved to be outside.  I guess most of that is every little boy, but especially saw my boy in Calvin.

My boy turns 20 this week.  I am having a hard time with the transition.
