Yukon Ho!

Three possible takes, in fact, on Calvin and Hobbes's famous expedition to the Great White North!

I just came across the third pic - of our young hero now all grown up, still with his faithful old companion but with Susie Derkins as well - and then remembered the "real life" version just above. (The first, of course, is Waterson's original.)

Oh, what a life! we cannot wait,
To be in that arctic land,
Where we'll be masters of our fate,
And lead a life that's grand!

Sgt. Preston eat your heart out.

Ride Forever!

Oh, the awful useless pointless stupidity of the mindless souless incompetent made-up artificial fake modern world is starting to get to me (again).

Here's Benton, to make everything better again. (And looking remarkably like Paul Gross with it!)

It's that hat again!

OK, so this has absolutely no relevance to Scouting whatsoever - except for the hat, I suppose.

Oh, and the fact that Benton Fraser is probably the greatest Scout hero since Tintin!
