Quick note about this week's comic...

This comic, a Louis "Great Imaginary Conversations" installment, is one of the rare ones that I wrote well in advance of its publication date.  I wrote it a few weeks ago, so that was well before I read Looking for Calvin and Hobbes -- at the time I wrote it I had probably just gotten involved in the MoCCA event for the book.

But the fact that it came out on Salon the same day as the Calvin and Hobbes event is remarkable.  I didn't even realize the similarity between the comic and Calvin and Hobbes until that day.  There are less charitable ways to look at it, but it does show the influence Watterson had even on a strip as unlike Calvin and Hobbes as Tom the Dancing Bug.
