So, "Calvin and Hobbes"! I think we can all agree that it's the greatest comic strip ever written, nay, the greatest thing ever written. Calvin was my role model when I was little, and to this day I wish I had the balls to have his completely awesome take on reality.
One of the reoccuring themes in the strip was Calvin's love of dinosaurs. Sometimes he was the dinosaur, sometimes he traveled back in time to do battle with them (accidentally, usually) (the battle, not the time travel) (yeah that's right, Calvin could travel through time), and sometimes they would destroy Susie Derkins for him.
I'm not sure where my inherent love for dinosaurs comes from, but "Calvin and Hobbes" only helped it along. Here is a Sunday issue of the strip in which Calvin imagines discovering dinosaur fossils.
Honestly, discovering dinosaur fossils was a childhood dream of mine. Just keep digging, Calvin, you're an inspiration to us all.
So true...
