Sunday, June 14, 1998: Sarcastic Ozy

[Cactus Jack]

I think lines from the O&M strip were edited into the Calvin and Hobbes strip. I would expect Bill Watterson to have the good sense to not to try to write the raspberry sound out in a comic. It just never works.

[NonsenseWords]

Yeah, that was an edit. Watterson also has the ability to draw people in appropriate stances for what they're saying; you'll see that the dialogue doesn't really match up to the motions that Calvin or Hobbes are making.

I'd like to see that strip unedited. I'd search for it myself, but that's quite a lot of Calvin and Hobbes to go through and I'll probably forget what I'm doing about ten strips in. >.>

Watterson has drawn the raspberry sound before...

[nickspoon]

The raspberry sound is an important comic strip staple. Thhpbt.

[Liz]

Aaah. I see. I guess I should look thought my one and only Calvin and Hobbes book that I stole from someone. I wonder if I have that comic xD

[Happy Rutabegas year]

I mean the gag has C&H written all over it but I doubt it's actually verbatim a C&H strip you know

[Dr. Dos]

I was pleasantly surprised the one of the first results for "calvin and hobbes desk" had half decent poses to be used.

The strip was probably jacked from C&H, but in a more indirect way.
