Calvin & Hobbes

[Cards]

I was just wondering what's the deal with the C & H avatars. I've noticed a bunch throughout my MrExcel travels (Joe4, Smitty, Jonmo1.. to name a few)?

Is it just because they're cute or is there some greater purpose?

I'm a long time viewer of MrExcel and although no one has ever answered a question of mine directly I feel compelled to thank all of the members on this forum with a special thanks to all of the MVP's and to those who ask clear questions with relevant titles.

Welcome to the Board!

I guess it's because great minds think alike. In my case my wife created my avatar because she thought it reflected my personality: clueless smartass (when it comes to women anyway)...

I say that informing us all of your personality is a greater purpose!

Well thanks for shattering that illusion! Here all this time I thought I was one of the cool kids and everyone was just trying to be like me.

At least you're cool enough to make your own avatar. Chris needed his wife to do it for him.

Actually, my original had Calvin's finger up his nose, and she thought that was sophomoric.

Mine just caught my eye one day while muddling around on the internet.
It perfectly captures my feelings sometimes when an obvious answer just escapes me (or others).

Plus, I wanted to be in the cool crowd.

Yeah, my personal favorite were the ones when Calvin made his incredible snow sculptures. They were always ingenious.

Those were classic! I think I'll need to give those to my daughter for next year since we got about 300" of snow this year (and it fits her personality).

I think my favorites were the stunts her pulled on his babysitter, and his "Dad" polls.
