life imitating art

Yesterday evening reminded me of a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon, but on the off chance that Bill Waterson reads my blog I decided that I wouldn't photograph the strip to put on my blog and would just describe it.

Calvin : I'm thinking of a number between one and seven hundred billion. Try to guess it.
Hobbes : Eleven
Calvin : Nope. Guess again.
Hobbes : Six million and four.
Calvin : Nope. Guess again.

Hobbes looks unimpressed

Calvin : What's the matter, don't you like games??


I was quite glad to find it on page 416 of my Calvin and Hobbes collection, and I didn''t have to look through all 1453 pages of cartoons.
