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 really liked this series as a kid. It was a few years before we had our biggest camping trip and it was a real washout. The neighboring campsite had water running thru their site and ended up with walnuts in their tent!

water running

walnuts in their tent

Is there a causality between these two statements?

I was about 8; at the time I thought the walnuts washed in with the water somehow but I really don't know how it happened. I did see inside the tent, it definitely had a lot of walnut shells.

I've had to dive for a fishing rod dropped over the edge of the boat. I guess it's only fair, I remember my dad having to do the same.
