Sasi, You have to forget about getting Calvin and Hobbes t shirts, since Bill Waterson is against merchandising, so I really wouldnt want to buy C&H t shirts even if they were available, because Bill Waterson is one of the few public figures I admire and respect. I went to the Barnes and Noble bookstores and there I read the tenth anniversary C&H hobbes book, and in that there was an essay by Waterson as to why he wont allow C&H merchandise, and I think I should respect his wishes by not buying unlicensed, kind of pirated, stuff.( well, I guess today I AM a bit sentimental.)

I had been to Lake Lanier with my cousin and we sat on a swing beneath tall pine trees looking out over the waters to the boats that were anchored in the bay. Right out of a movie, and suddenly I realised that this was something I have been looking forward to doing for a long time, perhaps ever since I read my first Hardy Boys ( the mystery of the disappearing floor, I think it was)…
