    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.

    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”
