Is it just me, or do programmers and Excelers tend to gravitate towards Calvin and Hobbes for avatars? I have noticed quite a few users on the boards here have Calvin (or some derivation of Calvin) as their avatar. I've also noticed this on other non-excel forums that have programmers, as well as allusions to Calvin and Hobbes in various webcomics (such as XKCD).

Not saying there is anything at all wrong with C&H! It has always been among my favorite comics to read! Just starting to notice some kind of correlation. :biggrin:

While we're at it... if you have a favorite C&H comic, link it here!

When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
I can honestly say I don't think I've ever read a Calvin & Hobbs cartoon. Am I missing something?

You really are Domski. They're very clever and funny but sometimes they're really poignant.
 
I read a few from a massive book of them when visiting a comic book store in Holland... it was like the bible of Calvin and Hobbes :)

Quite good, but not seen ANY since coming back to the UK??

One of my dreams is to buy the complete Calvin & Hobbes collection. I think they span around 3-4 huge books.
 
There was a fab programme on Radio4 where Phill Jupitus started by going to interview Bill Watterson (the creator of C&H) - an interview which lasted all of 10 seconds until he admitted it was actually the producer pretending to be Bill Watterson, as he never does interviews.

They reckoned he could have made 10s of millions if he'd ever agreed to licence C&H.
 
There are quite a few compendiums (compendia). Scientific progress goes boink is one of my favourites.
