I love the detail of him not having written the name small enough to fit the space :-)
The transmogrifier is one of my favorite bits.
I feel like I always read it as transmorgifier though. Sounds more sci fi. I wonder if the r/g transposition was intentional by Watterson because it’s Calvin writing it.
Transmogrification is a real word. I think part of the comedy is in Calvin knowing the word and using it correctly.
Wow, TIL
It’s amazing how Watterson can give Calvin such emotional expression with just a few lines.
Scientific process goes boink
That’s the duplicator, not the transmogrifier.
No you have to spin it 180° to make it the duplicator.
It’s amazing what they do with corrugated cardboard these days
Idk why this comment is so funny to me. This is totally something I would have glossed over as a kid, but reading it now, the specificity of it just cracks me up! “Corrugated cardboard”
This is a great story to follow the raccoon saga.
