I hate to be an artifact nazi, but cream cartons w/ expiration dates didn’t come out till the late ’70s or so. in the ’50s it would have been a small covered pitcher or a diary cream bottle & you could tell if it was sour by the taste. (ok, actually I love being an artifact nazi)

That would be awesome. I know Mike Gruhn of the aforementioned WebDonuts is one of them. I wonder who else…

Ah yes that might cause a problem in the ’50s…

Same story here (although Gary Larson and Berke Breathed were also close influences). I’m surprised there isn’t some big webcomic collective for cartoonists who became what they are because of ‘Calvin & Hobbes’.

…does anyone want to set that up?

Amen, brother. I don’t just say that for effect. If it weren’t for Calvin and Hobbes, there’s a slight chance The Far Side would have inspired me to draw that first cartoon in a box, but I’m not positive. C&H was it.

Long live Calvin and Hobbes, and the legions of kids who grew up to become cartoonists because of it!

…and the ancient creamer thing is something I’ve encountered in a real diner once.
