It's A Magical World

The Hardball Times tipped us to the transcendent Illustrated History of the Sagacious Don Guillote. Something about it reminded me of Calvin & Hobbes, which led me then to realize that I'm an idiot. Shockingly, until this very moment I had never considered the possibility that Watterson's strip just might have by inspired by Cervantes. That's probably because I didn't know what a Quixote was when I read the stuff.
