[NonsenseWords]

This smacks of Calvin's drawings of dinosaurs in spaceships.

[Cactus Jack]

How?

[NonsenseWords]

The way it's presented. I no longer have the means of looking up the strips easily (the site went down), but there was one where he used the first three panels to spout pretentious 'artsy' phrases about his drawings, and then Hobbes just says "This is a dinosaur in a space ship" and Calvin shouts about how nobody gets it.

[Muninn]

The method of describing ordinary simple drawings and snow sculptures with long difficult art jargon was quite common in Calvin and Hobbes and anyone who's read it, as Simpson has, will recognise an attempt to copy it. Which this does.

[Cactus Jack]

I see. I was actually thinking of the wrong strip which is what had me confused.
