The Child of Neil Simon and Calvin and Hobbes



CALVIN AND NEIL

If Neil Simon and Calvin and Hobbes had a kid… it would be To Catch a Tooth. I’ll never forget reading my first Calvin and Hobbes comic book. My mom gave it to me while we were taking a train ride from California to Chicago. I read it that first night and kept my sisters up with my giggling.

Neil Simon… well, the first time I’d really sat down and read any Neil Simon was at Ventura College. I grabbed his collected plays Vol. 1 and just started reading. Come Blow Your Horn was the first one I read. And once again, I got in trouble for laughing… this time in the library.

Both pieces are different, but both are fun, with heart, and a lot of laughs.
