Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995.

I still have my 3rd grade school pictures, including the class photo.
In the regular pictures, I'm smiling and nice, but there's this giant gap in my teeth that I drew in.
The class picture? It's similar, but if you look carefully, some little asshole is flipping off the camera with the bird just barely showing between him and the kid next to him.
To this day, none of my relatives have noticed it, and nobody from school ever said anything if they did notice it.
Fucking kids lol.
My first grade class photo has a kid 2 knuckles deep in his nose.
Nice :)
I was today years old when I learnt the word conniptions. Heck, it does not even come up in my phone's swipe dictionary and I had to type it out.
It was a lot more common in the 80s to 90s, kinda fell out of use
We used to say "Don't have a conniption" a fair bit
It is true though
