Calvin and Hobbes is one of the first comics I can remember consciously chosing to read and seek out. Calvin was a six year old boy that got away with stuff that I wish I could have gotten away with. His stuffed tiger (who came to life when nobody was watching) was his inner thoughts, his conscience, his best friend and his imagination all rolled up into one. Calvin lived in a world where transmogrification and time travel coexisted with sledding, deep thoughts and dinosaurs. A world that Susie Derkins existed in only to torment where his teacher and his parents had to fear what was coming next. Sadly this comic is no longer being made which means that we can never hope to have the "Noodle Incidient" explained.
"I'll make it simple," Malcome said. "A karate master does not kill people with his bare hands. He does not lose his temper and kill his wife. The person who kills is the person who has no discipline, no restraint, and who has purchased his power in the form of a Saturday night special. And that is the kind of power that science fosters and permits. And that is why you think that to build a place like this is simple."
"It was simple," Hammond insisted.
"Then why did it go wrong?"
