The Complete Calvin and Hobbes
posted in Books |I saw a copy of this on Saturday at Michael’s house. This used to be a favorite of mine as a kid and it was really cool to see kids today still enjoying it. Its also one of those rare cases of someone doing something for a period of time and then saying “thats enough”. Too often the comic pages are the same old thing over and over but Bill Watterson knew when to quit while still at the top of his game.
One quick Amazon complaint. When you create an “image only” link (not like the one above) it generates the URL as a relative URL:
<img border=”0″ src=”21JWCVFEK2L._AA_SL160_.jpg”>
Of course that is relative on your site so it is always busted until you figure out the correct base URL. Its been broken like this for well over a year.
