A curiosidade de Calvin pelas cabeças de macaco (ESPM 2012)
![Página dominical de Calvin e Haroldo, sob o título "Calvin and Hobbes by Watterson", em oito quadrinhos. No primeiro, Calvin fareja o ar: "What’s that smell?". No segundo: "Either Mom’s cooking dinner, or somebody got sick in the furnace duct.". Em seguida, na cozinha: "Boy, does it stink in here! What are you cooking for dinner?!" e "Whatever it is, I’m not eating it.", ao que a mãe responde, mexendo a panela: "I’m stewing some monkey heads.". Calvin repete: "Monkey heads?", e ela completa: "They’ll be soggy enough to eat in about twenty minutes.". Depois, sozinho: "Really?? We’re having monkey heads? We are not. ... Are those really monkey heads?", e logo: "I’ve never had monkey heads before! I wonder what they’re like." e "Wow! Monkey heads!". No último quadrinho, à mesa, ele experimenta: "Mm... kinda squishy? Ooh look, is that a nose? What’s this? Brains? I didn’t think they’d be so rubbery...", enquanto o pai reage: "What? I thought these were stuffed peppers. Honey, what the heck is this?? Whatever it is, I’m not eating it!". [Página em preto e branco, assinada por Watterson, com a data 8-14.]](/uploads/espm-2012-069.png)

![Tira de Calvin e Haroldo, de Bill Watterson, em quatro quadrinhos. No primeiro, uma menina observa: "I see you’re bringing a glove today. Did you sign up for recess baseball?", e Calvin responde: "Yeah, don’t remind me.". No segundo, ele reclama: "You’re lucky that girls don’t have to put up with this nonsense. If a girl doesn’t want to play sports, that’s fine!". No terceiro: "But if a guy doesn’t spend his afternoons chasing some stupid ball, he’s called a wimp! You girls have it easy!". No quarto, ela rebate: "On the other hand, boys aren’t expected to spend their lives 20 pounds underweight.", e Calvin emenda: "And if you don’t play sports, you don’t get to be male beer commercials!".

![Tira do Peanuts em quatro quadrinhos, publicada em 20 de maio de 2003. Snoopy está deitado sobre a casinha quando Lucy começa: "You think you can wake up each morning with a smile on your face...". Em seguida: "Well, that’s not enough...". No terceiro quadrinho ela prescreve: "You should start each day with a song in your heart, a gleam in your eye and peace in your soul!". No quarto, já sozinho e sentado, Snoopy conclui: "That could ruin a good breakfast".

![Página dominical de "Hägar, the horrible", de Dik Browne, em nove quadrinhos. No primeiro, o médico pergunta à enfermeira: "Who’s the next patient nurse?", e ela responde: "A man named Lucky Eddie.". No segundo, o médico pensa: "*Sigh* I knew things were going too smoothly to last!", e ao lado há um balão de fala vazio, apontado para ele. No terceiro, já diante do paciente: "What’s wrong, Lucky Eddie?". No quarto, Eddie responde: "Ever since I was captured by the saxons last year I’ve been depressed.". No quinto: "I was tortured, deprived of sleep and given nothing to eat but bread and water.". Na segunda faixa, ele continua: "I was dragged through the streets in front of jeering crowds and questioned by sadistic guards."; depois: "But I finally escaped and now I’m free to do anything I want."; em seguida, do lado de fora da cabana com a tabuleta "Dr. Zook", o médico pergunta: "So why are you depressed?"; e no último quadrinho Eddie responde: "I miss all the attention.".
