Blog2014 ≫ Heist!

When I was younger I used to clip the Calvin and Hobbes cartoon strip out of the newspaper every day. At first I used to stick them into a book, then after I while I just stuffed them in a bag, I'll get round to that later. Proper hoarding madness. I just got one of these bags back from Mum and Dad's loft, it was in a box of other comics and magazines (as previously mentioned, all crap). I put the clipped out cartoon strips in the recycling. Just noticed the recycling lorry coming today, a day earlier because of the christmas holidays, and so had to run to get things out there in time. I tipped the recycling box a bit too much in my haste, and all of the Calvin and Hobbes strips blew out, all round the garden and all up the street. They're about the size and shape of bank notes, it looked like a bank robbery had gone wrong and a holdall of bills had escaped.
