books (plus one collection of Bloom County comic strips). And at some point in the late 80s/early 90s (I don't recall exactly when), I cut out a strip from the paper that has Calvin asking Hobbes why he sleeps so much. Hobbes replies that he wants to be rested when things happen and Calvin throws up his hands and yells "What are you talking about? Nothing ever happens around here! Give me a break!". So of course the last panel is Hobbes pouncing on Calvin as Calvin's walking away. The strip perfectly summed up my feelings at the time about my small town (which I eventually grew to love), and all these decades later, it's still taped to the back of my bedroom door, just above my full-length door mirror. I've considered taking it down once or twice but a) I'm sentimental about it and b) at this point, I think the tape has fused to the wood and might never come off <g>.
