there is one more character i left out. the babysitter. roselyn i think. i m really too lazy.

watterson really is amazing. he believes so strongly the spirit of his comic and would by pass millions of dollars of business to uphold it. that is truly respectable. i guess that is why calvin and hobbes is a success. to me at least it is. because it hasnt been commercialised into a cold tool of money making.
