We now come to The Calvin and Hobbes Portable Compendium Set 3, practically the halfway point of seven planned sets from Andrews McMeel aiming to reprint the entire run of Bill Watterson's iconic comic strip, albeit in miniature form. Once again, I'd recommend going back in time and reading (or re-reading?) my review of the first set, if only because the history of Watterson's battles with his syndicate helps put both his beloved strip - and these new editions - in some context.

The Days are Just Packed by Bill Watterson, came out in 1993. For Bryant, he was collecting as many of these volumes containg the adventures of Calvin and Hobbes as he could. Visual mediums powerfully share big, sometimes uncomfortable, and often whimsical truths. Bryant was drawn to the iconic art and the way Hobbes, Calvin's stuffed tiger, takes on a personality of his own when only Calvin is around. In their adventures, Bryant found wonder and new frontiers through reading. Watterson's two protagonists have a lot to share with us: anoying teachers, big questions in all life stages, and of course -- soaking the next door neighbor with a waterballoon. Join us as we revisit this iconic duo and think back to your own experiences with comics, any that you still remember?

In my review of set one of the Calvin and Hobbes Portable Compendium releases (the first of seven planned sets, mind you) I gave a brief history of how Bill Watterson would create one of the most beloved comic strips of all-time, in such a short time, only to become exhausted by its creation and the demands of an industry that wanted more from him. He would only return to the form sporadically for charitable reasons or (with John Kascht) for experimental books like last year's The Mysteries.

Plus an interactive game for you Earbuds on Enjoy Stuff!   Let's revisit some legendary comic strips from over the years! Jovial Jay and Shua strip on this week's Enjoy Stuff!   News The Road House trailer has shown us that there is still a taste for fighting (and Jake Gyllenhaal's abs) No abs in the Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire trailer, but we do get a whole lot of favorite characters!   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Jay took Shua's advice that the new Peacock streaming series Ted was worth the watch. He agrees. It is a funny (and raunchy) story of a boy and his bear. But Seth Macfarlane has given it a heart that really makes you think and care. Shua made his way to the movie theater and saw Jeffrey Wright's newest film American Fiction. This story, about an author who is disgruntled about the stereotypes of blacks that are portrayed in modern literature.    Sci-Fi Saturdays This week Sci-Fi Saturdays shows you some Signs. M. Night Shyamalan's 2002 alien thriller isn't a Dead End. The plot seems to be going straight and then takes a Right Turn only and you have to Yield to suspense. Shyamalan's Uneven Road of movies shouldn't Stop you from revisiting Signs. Check it out on Sci-Fi Saturdays.

Plus, you can tune in to  SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua break down each episode of the Echo series and more.     Enjoy Comic Strips!  Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Garfield…there are so many legendary comic strips that have appeared in the newspaper over the years. Originally intended to sell newspapers, their popularity soared and before too long there were dozens of artists making different varieties of comics. As they evolved we got comics that were silly, timely, political, and Pulitzer Prize winners.    Classic strips from the 50s, like Peanuts, Marmaduke, Dennis the Menace, and more are still published today, either in reruns (not Linus's brother) or drawn by a new artist.    As the 60s and 70s brought change to the world, the comic pages started reflecting it as well. Timely topics were sometimes presented next to our Beetle Bailey. Pulitzer Prize winning Doonesbury by Gary Trudeau proved that the comics could be important. Spider-Man and Star Wars brought other formats of our entertainment to the comics pages.    And then we got a series of mega stars that blew up the popularity of that beloved illustrated section of the newspaper. Garfield, The Far Side, Bloom County, and Calvin and Hobbes became just a handful of reasons people would pick up the comics in the first place.    How well do you know your comics? Let's play a game to see if you remember the punch line from the very first published strip from a few classics.    Now that newspapers are going the way of the Dodo, what does the future hold for our beloved strip format? We're not sure, but we will continue to start the day with a laugh.   Did you grow up reading comics? What were some of your favorites (or ones you avoided)? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Let's go exploring!” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.

Calvin and Hobbes was an awesome comic strip from so many years ago with tremendous life lessons in each edition of it.   A recent post where someone wrote about Calvin (who was a little boy in the comic) grew up, had a family and got old.  In the later days of his life, Hobbes, his old stuffed animal tiger, came back to say goodbye.  Talk about a tear-jerker for me and so many others that made comments on this.  It's amazing how a few lose out on the memory of childhood & criticize things like this.  That's what social media opens up to go along with the good.. .there has to be a few negative people out there too I guess.  Don't let that happen to you going through life.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

JDK goes solo this week to discuss the ramifications of last week's FBI search for and removal of classified documents - including top secret documents about nuclear weapons - from former president Trump's home in Mar-A-Lago, Florida. In particular, JDK looks at what the anti-law enforcement rhetoric that resulted from some quarters indicates about where we stand as a country and what options we may be able to find to reduce the growing danger we fear is threatening the country. As with so much of life, those answers start with the questions we ask ourselves, no matter where we stand politically, and who we stand alongside or against.
