Some Friday Fun: Calvin and Hobbes E-mail

Happy Friday everyone! As a sort of follow-up to yesterday's salary cap debate, I thought this Calvin and Hobbes strip was appropriate.

I'd like to include more Calvin and Hobbes strips (similar to what I've done with Peanuts strips in the past), but Bill Watterson and Universal don't like people doing that. I hope then, by embedding this image in the way they ask you to with strips like Peanuts,  I'm respecting their wishes.

If you are dying to see the (relatively few) Calvin and Hobbes baseball strips, I highly recommend the "Calvin and Hobbes Extensive Strip Search (C.H.E.S.S.)". The owner of the site has gone through every single Calvin and Hobbes strip and cataloged not only all the dialog but described what was happening in every panel. It's incredibly simple to just type in the word "baseball" (or whatever else you're looking for) and get a list of ever strip to feature "baseball" in any way. From there, you just have to go to the official website, at CalvinAndHobbes.com, and search for the date you found. It may not be the most straightforward way to see your favorite Calvin and Hobbes strips, but it is pretty simple.

And now that I've given you a quick, simple way to dig through the Calvin and Hobbes archives, I suspect your Friday is shot. Enjoy (and you're welcome).

About Me

What's with the name?
"Wezen" is the name of a star in the constellation Canis Major ("The Great Dog"). It's the star that marks the, ahem, point where the dog's tail meets its hindlegs. It's a name that I've always liked the sound of and so I used it around the internet.

When I started this blog, I didn't expect to put a lot of time into it, so I just gave it the first name I could think of. Now I like it, no matter how strange it may sound, and I just love how the new banner and background make use of it.

What's the site about?
There is no real, overriding philosophy guiding the posts here at Wezen-Ball.com. Instead, it's just a place for me to write about what I find interesting in the baseball world. Sometimes that means it'll be original statistical research that I've been working on or some other opinions that I might have. Usually, though, I'll be writing about how a certain player, team, or event from the past was viewed through contemporary accounts.

I do this mostly through the use of my collection of annual baseball preview magazines or other resources available online. So, whether it's looking back to see if Jim Rice was truly "feared"by the people who saw him play, or it's looking back to see how Greg Maddux was viewed early in his career, or if it's just looking back to see what people predicted baseball would be like in the year 2000 (from 1981), you'll find it here.
