You lock the door and throw away the key; there's someone in my head, but it's not me

Well.

I have my intake appointment with the The Center for Neuropsychology & Learning Disorders on Tuesday, 4 Oct (the day before phoenixw arrives, I believe). Then the all-day testing on the 19th.

Well. We'll see how that goes.

It's only been forty years in coming. *cheers*

I only hope this doesn't end up happening:

That's an interesting little comic! I assume it's a manip?

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

I suppose it is. I got it a while ago, from a LJ community, probably adults_add or somesuch.

*steals* I'm so using that in my class... ;-)

Actually, it really was the very last Calvin & Hobbes cartoon, if I'm not wrong. A little sad, really, but a lot more poignant for it!

[petulans.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... it on researching my claim (must remember to do that before posting! Must not take my friends' statements as fact) it turns out that I'm wrong - no big surprise there! From what I can tell, it's actually an alternate ending, though not the official one.

I just looked it up, as well.

This is the last panel. Much more optimistic, but my opinion on Mr. Watterson's decision still stands.

[petulans.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm trying to find out if it's an official alternate ending or not - at the moment I'm leaning towards not, despite some sources claiming that it does come from Watterson, but there's not much info on it (which only leads me to further suspect that it's a fandom-manip-cum-urban-legend.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

I think it's a manip. But it makes its point.

Yeah, the "mom thinks the pills must be working" is a total urban-legend ring-in to me. Not something that feels legitimate but more of the typical social irony that proliferates folk myths of the sort.

[bookshop.livejournal.com]

Really? :o It's actually one that Bill Watterson wrote?

:(( That makes it ten million times sadder than before. :((((((((((

[petulans.livejournal.com]

I was under that impression before researching it, but from the lack of references to the strip if nothing else, I'm fairly sure that it's a fan-creation, which actually makes me rather happy!

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Really? Oh, that's so sad.

I always thought it odd that Calvin's creator bowed out in the middle of his creative peak. He said something about running out of ideas. It makes me think that maybe HE was on the meds. :(
