When I was younger, there was a point that I came to the realization that the main reason I was reading the comic strips in the newspaper was because of Calvin and Hobbes. FoxTrot was a nice relief from the Family Circus and that medieval-ish strip that seems really serious - but nothing really took the place of Calvin and Hobbes. When I first saw the Adventure Time pilot, there was no indication it would become a full show. I’m very pleased that it’s become so popular.
