Calvin and Hobbes strip from oh god I'm typing this out on mobile, I'm sorry about the formatting. They've got a record on the turntable.Calvin: What's this music?Hobbes: It's "The 1812 Overture."Calvin: I kinda like it. Interesting percussion section.Hobbes: Those are cannons.Calvin: And they performed this in crowded concert halls?? Gee, I thought classical music was boring!
