AIEEE!! THEY GOT FRANK!!

So, here's the deal. This is my last (official) post of this blog before my reflection, assuming that I'm ending this thing after our class is finished with these. Seeing as this will contain some of my last words on my topic, and since this blog is, of course, about me, I decided to just give in to intuition and throw caution to the wind. After being inspired by Diemon Daves, I think I can say it; this one is all about me.

Some background. First of all, let's just get this out of the way: Calvin & Hobbes is the greatest comic strip of all time. Hands down. Uncontested. No questions asked. If you disagree with this fact of life, abandon all hopes you had of enjoying this post.

Moving on.

Recently, while scouring the internet in an effort to manifest my love of all things Watterson, I found Cullinan's Great Star of Africa on a website called Progressive Boink (named in honor of the comic itself). Here I found a list of the Top 25 Calvin and Hobbes Strips -- of all time! The authors of the page are adoring as they are sincere, and they truly get what Bill emanated through his work. I've always said my one wish in this world was for Calvin & Hobbes to be republished; however, these boys are convincing in their argument that Bill actually gained by quitting while ahead. Either way, revisiting these twenty-five classics was time well spent.

These cool cats will never be beat.

I highly advise that you watch the following video before continuing on with this next post. It'll make more sense, and let's be serious, what else have you got to do? Hang out with friends? Hahaha, oh you...



I'll be completely honest with you; during my last post, I was ready to quit. I was two pints of Ben & Jerry's away from throwing in the towel. Not only did I have no idea as to what I would blog about, but I was short on cash and it was Chicken Caesar Wrap Day in the cafeteria for lunch.

Then I found Diemon Daves. Yes.

This master of Kung Fu inspired me to tread onwards in my blogging, to fight off the strife of lonely internet typing and to tackle my obstacles head on. With this renewed dose of strength, I sincerely feel as though I can blog about whatever it is I want to blog about, as long as I "don't go ninja'n nobody don't need ninja'n", of course.

Well, I'll be...

So, I just learned from my 'teach' that we have to have three more posts on this. Here I am thinking I'm finished, exerting all my leftover energy on making a beautifully creative ending to a satirical masterpiece, and then BOOM I have to come up with additional material. Ha! This essentially takes me back to square one. I have no idea what to blog about, thus proving my thesis. Nevertheless, I must continue to receive a good grade. As such, my blog must, and will, go on. Watch here for further advancement.
