5 months agoCalvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson.
In this strip, Calvin announces he likes to verb words, something Shakespeare also did a lot of. Hobbes decides that verbing could make language a “complete impediment to understand”–funny, that’s a complaint we often hear about Shakespeare’s language. But isn’t it beautiful when he says “Grace me no grace, nor uncle me no uncle,” as one example?
