Miss Wormwood rightly observes that Calvin and Hobbes holds up extremely well, better than Nostradamus in most cases. He has a wide knowledge of dinosaurs. He drifts off in class, imagining it as a prison with Miss Wormwood as the warden, or himself as Spaceman Spiff, his teacher now a slobbering alien monster to be destroyed by lasers. To see a child genius sit there and nonchalantly bang the shit out of boredom. The difference is that those two were well-meaning retarded kids.

This was also the strip lasted just 10 years , Calvin & Hobbes sites. This is my favorite Transmogrifier strip, because Calvin is adorable.
