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.
Keaton, I love your blog AND I would have liked to read your final reflection: final blog entry. You so joyously jumped into this project and set the bar high with technology; however, you lack a bit in DEADLINES.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyable year with you :)

Haha thanks...I know that deadlines are a struggle for this guy, but what can I say? Quality over quantity as my grandfather always told me.
ReplyDeleteThis project was by far my favorite all year; had a great time taking your class and can't wait to come back next year to see how your AP students are handling.
Have a great summer!
