Sorry to intrude on your site, but I need some help...



I have been trying to find a specific Sunday Calvin and Hobbes strip.



As i recall it had no dialogue.



It was snowing, Calvin implores his Dad to go outside, but his Dad jestures to all the work he has to do.



Calvin goes out to play. His dad watches him out the window. he then surprises Calvin outside and they make a snowman togther.



I am teaching some elementary school kids in Korea about comics and sequential art and I think that is one of the best examples of sequentila art without dialogue.



I'd love to find a copy, but I don't know what book it is in.

COOL DUDE!

scientific progress goes "boink"

Anyone know the date of the comic?

That's why the complete C+H exists.So you can spend ages searching.

They teach with Calvin and Hobbes in Korea? They have a better school system then we do here! :)



BTW, the date of the comic is January 14, 1990. I found it here: http://jonas2634ndl.tripod.com/mergedrelatingtodad34.html

Thanks so much KIm!

I've been searching everywhere for that particular strip. I'm currently working on my Masters Degree in Education, and I have been focusing on how comics, or sequential art, can be used in the ESL classroom.

One idea for using comics is to teach students to write direct speech (dialogue). So I wanted to have a good example of a strip without any dialogue where the students could write their own...this particular strip has stayed in my head since I first read it in the Sunday paper about 17 years ago...so I wanted to use it in my class. But after week s of esearching the net and scouring second hand book stores in Seoul I couldn't find a copy...you've saved me.
