this was fantastic, just what i needed right now. the world is trash and i wanted something light and funny to take my mind off it. i hadn't read these comics since i was probably in high school and they were different than i remember. much more imaginative and also grown up than i'd remembered. both in the words that are often used and also in the stories about parenting a wild and creative child. i didn't remember any comics about parenting, but those certainly landed now since our guy is the same age as calvin, and in some ways just as willful and energetic. i do wish he had toned down the "boys hate girls" theme that came and went throughout, but otherwise this was great. the drawings are simple (seemingly) but convey a full range of emotions and experience.

so it was a little less fun and escapist than i expected, but very good and insightful, and funny. probably i should read more of these now. ( )
