Conversation With a 6-Year-Old: Bill Watterson Edition

A: Calvin is so funny! That guy who wrote it, why did he write it?

Me: Because he wanted to, I guess. He was pretty funny.

A: Is he dead?

Me: No, I think he just got tired of writing that comic strip. He wrote it for a long time.

A: Maybe he got bored.

Me: Maybe. But he sure was funny, huh?

A: He was weird and funny and smart all at the same time!

Me: The best ones always are, kiddo.

[some time later]

A [giggling]: Calvin's stuffy, Hobbes? When they played football, and he got a goal, then he said, "and then all the cheerleaders came over for smooches!" Funny and weird.
