Same. Calvin and Hobbes were always out having fun and I used to dream about having some kind of friend to hang out with where we could go on those kinds of adventures. I spent a lot of my time being lonely and bored and these comics were a great escape. Having a daughter many years later in my adulthood has been awesome though and we go on all kinds of adventures and read stories together and play games and all kinds of stuff. In a way, it is kind of like getting a second crack at childhood and I want to make sure she isn't as lonely as I was. Of course you can't stifle your kids or live vicariously through them (I definitely draw some lines and give her as much freedom as you can in the modern day).
