YOU GOTTA LOVE THE SOUTH CHINA POST: Had a real treat today. Flipping through the
South China Post, I cam across a very tight and tidy comics "section". It included only FOUR strips. One I'd never heard of: Pooch Cafe. It also had Doonesbury and Non-Sequitor, two very enjoyable cartoons. The fourth one? Hold on. It's "The Best of
Calvin and Hobbes," which, obviously means it must eventually reprint EVERY ONE of those spectacular entries. I hadn't seen Calvin in a while. Glad he's alive and kickin' in Hong Kong. The strip dropped from syndication in 1995.
CATCHING UP: Sandy and I got a chance to have lunch with a Cornell friend and fraternity brother Bob Hinkel. We grabbed a lunch in a corner table of a second-floor restaurant featuring a
BELGIAN menu. My hamburger had beetroot hidden inside. None of us had the Zee Brugge Burger. Then Bob took us up to his office on the 52nd floor of The Center. It had a sweeping view of the waterway between Hong Kong and Kowloon. It's a new spot for him, but he likely won't be in that office all that often. Bob travels a lot (COO for Asia Pacific Energy, a company of Husky Energy). If he's not in Hong Kong, you might be able to find him in Calgary or Houston or somewhere else.
