The Post (35 cents) told us that Russians faced empty shelves now that they were an independent country. There was a split decision in the college football final poll: Miami (FL) and Washington were declared co-champs. Get a Roast Beef n Swiss for 99 cents at Arby's. On TV tonight: PS I Luv U. In the Post comics, Calvin told Hobbes in a rerun, " I've got a great idea for school tomorrow. I cut a ping pong ball in half, and now I'm drawing dots on each end. I'll just put one over each eye, and it will look like I'm really paying attention." He then asked Hobbes, "Or will I look too intersted?" Hobbes responded, "I doubt it. I'm over here."

Channel 19 has the Cincinnati at Tennessee men's basketball game, tonight at 8. In the Post comics, Calvin told Hobbes in a rerun about an Ouija board. He summoned the board.

It's obviously TRYING to (snif) go to 'C', you cheater!"

That's hair was tweaked. The caption was the same as it was during the Slick administration.

The Post (35 cents) told us about Super Bowl XXX tomorrow between the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers. Celebrities made their picks. Now in theaters: 12 Monkeys. In the Post comics, Dilbert was telling the Pointy Haired Boss about how the primary vendor couldn't do the project. The PHB wondered,"I wonder what's on TV tonight?" Dilbert then continued, "Should we risk a lawsuit or build a a product no body on Earth wants?" The PHB thought, "Did he ask me to make a choice?" Dilbert then thought, "Will it be a request forinformation or an impractical solution?" The PHB then saud, " Let's do both!"

Alice wanted to know, "Is that the same group of customers who actually USE our line of products?" Dogbert then added, "Plus the ones who were injured unpacking it."

Beating Brian and Jimmy to this, but today's recycled FC strip is a remake of a 1974 FC strip but with different art and the original caption was:

"Mommy, come quick, P.J. made a tragedy!"

I guess we got 3 more weeks to post recycled Family Circus strips before Google Groups/Usenet no longer lets us post.

He then wanted to.watch between three and 10:30 pm. When Dad said "Wrong," Calvin then shouted, "DO.YOU WANT US TO BE SUB-AVERAGE?"

Hobbes then said, "Well, I never quite knew how to say this before, but little boys don't smell so good."

The Post (35 cents) told us that reporter David Wecker in New York, covering the American International Toy Fair. Night two of the Calgary WInter Olympics on Channel 12, with the US playing Czechoslovakia in hockey. Live. In theaters, Justine Bateman (and a little-known Julia Roberts) were in a movie called Satisfaction. (I remember NBC showing this, with Roberts as star, and it was retitled Girls of Summer.) In the Post comics, Calvin and Hobbes had been transmogrified - Calvin into a owl and Hobbes into a monster. Calvin said that he wanted to be a kid again and Hobbes back as a tiger. Calvin used the transmogrifying gun to make Hobbes normal. "Now, that's better," Hobbes told Calvin. "Now do me," Calvin responded. Hobbes tried to change Calvin, but failed. "What's wrong? I'm not transmogrifying!" Hobbes responded, "Boy, I'm glad we did me first."

Calvin then said, Don't we even get any practice semesters?"
