I like the pig stools. (I was expecting something much worse.)

And I like Calvin minus Hobbes. But it's a bit sad.

mlrosty,

“I like Calvin minus Hobbes. But it’s a bit sad.”

I’m not sure that it’s sad exactly. It just makes explicit what’s implied throughout the comic strip. Presumably Hobbes is still “there” in Calvin’s imagination, but this is how Calvin appears to his parents all the time.

Both the muted Garfield, and Garfield minus Garfield are sad;

Calvin minus Hobbes is closer to what you expect from a 6-year old.

Amazing pictures of Afghanistan. Notice the nurses wearing short sleeves, presumably for sensible hygiene-related reasons. And now we have this:

The projection mapping is incredible. Best I've seen.
