I had a rather distrubing dream last night, and one of the
disturbing elements (if not the most disturbing) was seeing, on
television the latest animated series—Disney's Calvin and Hobbes, done
the drawing style of Ted Rall with the feel
of Tim
Burton's Nightmare on Christmas, only not
as lighthearted.
Calvin
came across as being a whiny brat (well, more so than in the actual comics)
and they didn't even get Hobbes' voice nominally close and the whole dark
nature of the show (the opening credits had the family moving to a new house
and Calvin imagining the house devouring them) didn't at all jibe with the
comic and I was sad that Bill

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
