Happy Birthday Bill!

Bill Watterson that is. The creator of Calvin and Hobbes will be celebrating his birthday today. He was born in 1958.

 

On to LucasArts information, I was just in Disney World riding the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, when I noticed a couple more things that could show that Ron Gilbert was heavily inspired by that ride for Monkey Island. Although I don't personally believe in that theory that the first two games were a dream or more correctly a fantasy of a young child, that evidence is building. But hey, only Ron will tell. I'll send in some footage to Mixnmojo when my computer stops being stupid.

I've been on that ride 3 times. Its great! But only the third time did I know the Monkey Island connection. So I saw the Walt connection (the Dog, and the keys etc) - I even sent in a picture to the World of Monkey Island, but they didn't credit me:

I have a 4Mb AVI I can upload if anyones interested, depicting scenes from the ride.
