That's okay, DtQ, we won't hold it against you
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-10T22:20:19-05:00
@LZ, can't we ask just get along?
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-10T22:20:20-05:00
@Dave The Quack ...you know that the Kittens are blowing YOU up, right ;)
Dave 2015-02-10T22:20:31-05:00
I wonder at this point if it would be worth it for them to open up more collectors packs. It could give their last week a good push.
Ebony "Antonie van Kittenhoek" Bullock 2015-02-10T22:21:00-05:00
True story: My cat was named after Professor Charles Xavier from the X-Men. Why? Because he's got a bit of a mangled back leg and I wasn't sure if he was going to be able to walk properly as a kitten, but I already knew he was awesome. Not really PC but the name stuck

@ChaCha only if I lose! Also if I do cat blew up anyway!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-10T22:21:53-05:00
@DtQ, my wife is more of a dog person, and, I must admit, when Loki misbehaves I can swing more into the dog campcamp.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-10T22:22:00-05:00
Historian, yes. My point is that we can't say that each of my cats is objectively awesome, since Rafiki is the universal favorite of the three
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-10T22:22:05-05:00
*lightbulb moment* Hi Christopher Loth AKA @TheHistorian :)
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-10T22:22:38-05:00
I have one cat and she's a clear favorite for best cat.

Ok, cat nap time for serious.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-10T22:22:59-05:00
Open up more collector's packs and they will disappear within five seconds. Last week someone came in here, said they were dropped their backing for a collector's deck, and we had two fellows trying to snap it up instantly just in this comments section.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-10T22:23:01-05:00
I grew up with everyone in my extended family having dogs so it was inevitable. Plus my allergies to them don't help.

@Cha! , no worries, considering my twitter handle its not completely evident that The Historian and htoLsirhC are one in the same.
Ebony "Antonie van Kittenhoek" Bullock 2015-02-10T22:32:06-05:00
I see what you did there historian.
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-10T22:32:26-05:00
@Historian @AvK...amazing what one comes across on YouTube... I especially enjoyed the educational video on "How to prepare dry and wet slides"
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-10T22:33:16-05:00
@Creeper and @GCoD, I LOVE Calvin and Hobbes! I have the box setset and flip through it whenever I need a pick me up.. Or whenever I need a laugh... Really I just love looking at it.
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-10T22:33:30-05:00

Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-10T22:34:59-05:00
I just got back from reading that article (and the three strips) I want to get the complete Calvin and Hobbes. That's my favorite comic ever. It even beats the Far Side

I finally broke down and got the C&H box set last summer ... and while I was at it, bought the new annotated hardbounds from Berke Breathed for Bloom County, Outland, and Opus.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-10T22:36:44-05:00
I just havent had the $135 to get it yet. One day, though
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-10T22:36:57-05:00
If you enjoyed Bloom County back in the day, the hardbounds will really tickle your fancy, he has sidebar notes on a lot of cartoons with quirky details and in jokes.

Hey guys, there's 11benty million comments to browse thorough so I thought I'd just ask. Why did they not count the 5 youtube videos as complete? I've seen more than 5 already. Thanks.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-10T22:37:40-05:00
@LZ, I got the C&H set from someone on eBay ...it was about $80 - new.

@GCoD, Ill have to check that out.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2015-02-10T22:38:35-05:00
@Lord Zombitten, I would throw Bloom County in the mix, too. Those three are my favorites.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-10T22:38:36-05:00
I forgot about Bloom County! How could I forget about that!? Excuse me, I have to go castigate myself
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-10T22:39:22-05:00
@AvK...funny that Anton van Leeuwenhoek cover song, it was added to the list :)

Hey! I don't if anyone else is keeping an eye on YouTube, but there are a BUNCH of awesome Exploding Kittens songs now and they crack me up! :) Best Kickstarter I've backed so far!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-10T22:40:54-05:00
Jen, our best guess is that they are waiting until the end to announce the achievement unlockunlock for the songs... It keeps us in suspense
Ebony "Antonie van Kittenhoek" Bullock 2015-02-10T22:41:00-05:00
@Cha! Thanks for introducing yourself! I'm new to this and trying to catch up.
I'm Antonie van Kittenhoe. My special abilities – I'm the inventor of the kittiscope, lord and master of the Kitticules. Has the power to unleash said Kitticules for good or for evil.
My minions are the Kitticules – teeny-tiny kittens visible only with a kittiscope. Some are beneficial (lacti-kitticules live in your intestines and help you digest milk) and some are harmful (salmonali-kitticules can make your life a living hell for 6-8 hours). All obey Antonie van Kittenhoek without question.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-10T22:41:50-05:00

Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2015-02-10T22:43:05-05:00
Little trick I thought up a few years ago. Whenever you read the funnies in the paper, always start with Family Circus. All the other comic strip will be funnier 10 fold.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-10T22:43:39-05:00
Oh, I couldn't subject myself to that!
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-10T22:44:20-05:00
Yeah. LZ. Those four strips really helped me close the Calvin and Hobbs story, knowing it goes on.

Dammit, I meant objectively!
I don't know. My Rafiki is a pretty objectively awesome cat.
Historian, too late!
Should we just agree that each of our cats is objectively awesome?
@Catness My cat is best cat. He has a beard.
Good luck to all those who seek the honor of cat ears with 99 friends with a sign in a photo that is posted according to the rules to Twitter. #Amen
I objectively love my cat*
*I don't have a cat
Historian and AVK, I agree to the truce proposed by The Historian. All of our cats can be objectively awesome.
No, Historian, Rafiki is better than Mufasa and GIR
DtQ, I am convinced that you never run out of patience with your cat. Good work.
If I'm honest... I'm not really a cat person... I'm a dog person.... Which make me enjoy the thought of blowing up kitties all the more

Are there any Calvin & Hobbes fans in here? Have you seen this? https://stephanpastis.wordpress.com/2014/06/07/ever-wished-that-calvin-and-hobbes-creator-bill-watterson-would-return-to-the-comics-page-well-he-just-did/
@DtQ, completely understandable.
@AvK...lots of DJs but I did find a song about microscopes ;)
https://www.youtube.com/watch…
@Cha! YES!
@GCoD, that guest artist on Pearls Before Swine seriesseries made me so incredibly happy. :)
@Historian...I've been seeing too many people..names...handles...nicks...whatever
I see Virtual People
For all the whippersnappers out there, Calvin & Hobbes was da bomb. Along with Bloom County ...
@Cha! Nice work finding that song!
GCoD - i JUST had this discussion yesterday. Wow. Creepy. Was just telling my friend "I miss Calvin"
@AvK...another one uhmmm...

@Historian...well I'm glad I finally know who that backwards spelled CL is :)
And we're edging in on 149K -- but it still seems like 150K will be done early tomorrow (for those in the States).
GCoD Did you get the link?
@PoT, I love Hobbes and Bacon :)
I'm glad I'm not the only one that teared up.
Thanks for that,@PoT.
@Cha! I hope what I sent him was enough - I modeled it on that was on the Kitten Corps factsheet.
He only did the four strips and as much as I'd love to see more. Those four are perfect if that's all we ever get.
but... but really... did y'all see the engagement ring flip book??
Where Creepeer?
@Creeper, I don't know what you are talking about.......do tell.
Yes I did, PoT -- and got sucked into the black hole of linked links ...
The right arrow next to the bacon and hobbs panels.
@PoT, I very true. Did you happen across this:http://www.reddit.com/r/WritingPrompts/comments/25gtsw/eu_in_the_final_minutes_of_his_life_calvin_has/ (WARNING: it's a tear jerker)

Historian - I had to stop after a bit. I cannot cry while baking
Typing around settling lap cat demanding scritches and trying not to annoy her with typing arm movements - another cat owned skill to be mastered
@TheCreeper That's really clever! Maybe I'll do that for my other half...
@Creeper, I warned you. It was beautifully but it makes me cry every time.
@Creeper, that flip book is adorable
Thank you @Historian. I hadn't seen that.
I dig the flip book too.
Historian! Dude! Right in the feels!
@PoT, you're most welcome
Good evening EK folks! Wow, it's been a good day, over 4400+ backers and $180k!! Haven't had a better day since day 10!!
@LZ, the first time I read that I was at work. It took me 20 minutes to compose myself!
