October 18, 1951: I'm sure Hobbes could think of something

Peanuts

I've mentioned before that, as I go through these, at times Calvin and Hobbes seems like it must have been directly inspired by early Peanuts. The characters are of similar proportions to the kids in C&H, and this bath-avoiding trick could have come directly from Calvin's playbook.

It's not a sure thing, but it does seem like it might be possible.

  1. The images here haven't been showing up for me the past couple of days. Am I the only one?

    (I love the blog! So it makes me sad when I can't read the comic...)
