Does anyone know if there's an online C&H archive that's indexed by a short
description of each strip?

(Or more specifically, if anyone's bookmarked the 'very sorry song' strip,
that's the one I'm looking for.)

Sorry, the only online archive I know of is printing the strips
from 11 years ago. So, the latest strip thety put on their web pages
are 11 years old.

Hmmm. Apparently they have changed their setup. I don't like this site
anymore... but here it is.

If your looking for the words I believe it goes like this:

Calvin
Here's the very sorry song! Wont you please sing along!

Hobbes
Bum ba bum bummm

C
I blew it

H
He's sorry

C
I knew it

H
So sorry

C
I'm very very sorry I took your precious flag!

H
Just don't do it anymore you dirty scalawag!

I don't know what tune to sing to though

Thanks, but I have it in dead tree form - I was looking for a page to point
people to. I might scan it in if I can't find it anywhere.

But thanks anyway - may I get you a BOYC?

it's a quick-n-dirty scan, but i've put it up at:

http://waitress.rmta.org/cb.jpg

it's scanned from a several years old clipping of the strip from the
sunday paper that i knew i had around somewhere, so the colours are a
bit yellowed. i whited out most of the actual white, but the frames
with coloured backgrounds are ... off.

best i could do in 15 minutes.

"Not Politically Correct" is underhanded praise for being mean or impolite
without good reason.

Only VERY rarely am I unable to get the most currently released (11
years since printing) strip.

Sorry, I couldn't find this post earlier...

The page you mention now redirects to the ucomics.com page.
