Three Friends and Crumbs, children's stories

FORGET the Caped Crusader, the Web-Slinger and the Man of Steel. For me there is only one true comicbook hero and the only time he wears a mask is when his imagination lets loose as Stupendous Man.

His name is Calvin.

And like all comic creations he has a sidekick – his trusty stuffed toy tiger Hobbes.

I first came across Calvin and Hobbes while searching for a book to read on a family holiday. I found Yukon Ho! and my collection built from there.

On a basic level, I liked the idea of a boy getting up to mischief with his pal of which only he can see come to life. But creator Bill Watterson did more than that. He used the strips to provide social commentary on business, philosophy and culture – made all the more amusing coming from the mouth of a six-year-old schoolboy.

missing sanity kim olduğunu bilmiyorsun, ne istediğini.. Karanlığını biliyorsun, yalnızlığını.. Kimseyi idare edemeyeceğini biliyorsun idare edilmesi gerekmeyen insanları dahi.. Aslında basit bir şey hayat sadece çıkışın belli olmaması yorucu bir de özlemek..

there’s no one left to tell your troubles to.
Just an hour ago, you listened to their voices
lilting like a river over underground
and the light from downstairs came up soft like daybreak
dimly as the heartache of a lonely child.

If you can’t remember a better time

In days to come when your heart feels undone
may you always find an open hand
and take comfort wherever you can.

And oh, it’s a strange place.
And oh, everyone with a different face
but just like you thought when you stopped here to linger
we’re only as separate as your little fingers.

So cry, why not? we all do
then turn to one you love
and smile a smile that lights up all the room.
Follow your dreams in through every out-door
it seems that’s what we’re here for.

And when you can’t remember a better time
you can have mine, little one.
In days to come when your heart feels undone
may you always find an open hand
and take comfort, there is comfort.
Take comfort wherever you can, you can, you can.
