Yukon Ho!!...Go Cnh Go...!!!!!

Calvin and Hobbes ….1 cartoon strip I’ve been in immense love with, for a long time now…..I want to take this opportunity to probably kick myself really hard for not having written anything about this amazing cartoon strip before…

Anyways here comes my 1st post on it…and I swear of Susie Derkins , at least a couple more of similar ones will follow sometime in the future..



YUKON HO!!

A little intro to Yukon Ho….

Calvin and his buddy tiger plan to move away from mom and dad and go to Yukon

That’s his idea of seceding from his family…

So lets check out the required list for their great journey [to nowhere]..….


Sled.Check. Tobaggan.check. Sandwiches.check. Dart gun.check.

Space helmet.Check. Comic books. Check!!


So…here’s a poem out of Mr.Bill Waterson’s book…..

  
My tiger friend has got the sled,
And I have packed a snack.
We're all set for the trip ahead.
We're never coming back!
 
We're abandoing this life we've led!
So long, Mom and Pop!
We're sick of doing what youve said,
And now it's going to stop!
 
We're going where it snows all year,
Where life can have real meaning.
A place where we wont have to hear,
"Your room could stand some cleaning."
 
The Yukon is the place for us!
That's where we want to live.
Up there we'll get to yell and cuss
And act real primitive.
 
We'll never have to go to school,
Forced into submission,
By monster, crabby teachers who'll
Make us learn addition.
 
We'll never have to clean a plate,
Of veggie glops and goos.
Messily we'll masticate,
Using any fork we choose!
 
The timber wolves will be our friends.
Well stay up late and howl,
At the moon, till nightmare ends,
Before going on the prowl.
 
Oh, what a life! we cannot wait,
To be in that arctic land,
Where we'll be masters of our fate,
And lead a life that's grand!
 
No more of parental rules!
We're heading for some snow!
Good riddance to those grown-up-ghouls!
We're leaving! Yukon Ho!



LONG LIVE BILL WATTERSON AND ALL HIS COMING GENERATIONS…
