Reading Journal (Calvin and Hobbes "Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons'

This week, i did not have any books, so i just picked up another book from my collection of Calvin & Hobbes books by Bill Waterson, this one is named Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons. I read three strips of them. I will have information on every strip i read, followed by an ending quote. The three strips are one whole story.

1. Calvin wants a new name.

It starts off with Calvin going up to his mother, and telling her that he will no longer respond to Calvin, but Calvin the bold. His mother makes a remark saying that it should be "Calvin the deranged. Haha, Calvin's mom is such a joker!

2. Calvin wants a new name 2.

The next day, Calvin is at school, his teacher, Mrs. Wormwood asks him do a math question. But she adresses him as Calvin, Calvin looks around looking for the person that goes by Calvin, Mrs. Wormwood looses her cool and screams at Calving saying that he is Calvin, Calvin responds by telling her that he demands to be addressed by the full title of CALVIN THE BOLD. He is sent to the principals office, the principals asks Calvin "Back again Calvin?" Calvin then asks the principal "Who?"

3. Calvin wants a new name 3.

Calvin's dad asks for Calvin to come. He does what his dad tells him to, then his dads asks him to kneel, Calvin does this too, that's when his dad says "By the finite patience vested in me, i hereby dub thee "Mud." You may rise. Then Calvins just walks off as if his dad killed the whole meaning of the prank.

Quote: Here we are, perched at the peak of Mount Maim! (He is about to use his sled) Why? Because i like to experience life to the fullest! I say you don't fully appreciate life until you risk losing it! I like to stare death straight in the eye and make him blink! If your adrenalin isn't pumping, you're not really living! Am i right? - Calvin

Reading Journal (Calvin and Hobbes "The Essential")

This week, i did not read any book, so i decided to pick up my collection of Calvin N Hobbes books.
I picked up, The Essential Calvin N Hobbes by Bill Waterson.

I read about 3 comic strips of the books.

1. Strip

Calvin wets his hair and gels it into a Alien like futuristic hair style, then he proceeds to go to his mother and say " Greetings, Earth Female. Do not be alarmed, our planet is dying. We need cookies to survive, do not try to resist or you will be destroyed".

2. Strip

It starts out with Hobbes reading a book, Calvin asks him a question if he likes it. Hobbes responds with a yes. Then he asks Hobbes if he can write a two page report on the book that is due for school the next day.

3. Strip

Calvin goes up to his dad, he shows him his current report card, Calvin reminds his dad that he didn't care how his grades were as long as he tried his hardest, then his dads reacts angrily and yells "Well you could certainly be trying harder than this!" Calvin makes a remark saying "So you admit you were lying?
