I think I was ten when Watterson stopped writing it
::makes gurgling sound of horror and shock::
I suppose if you were ten, most of C&H would have been over your head anyway. Sigh. It's funny--my grandmother used to clip comics from the paper and send them to me at camp when I was a kid. She kept doing it while I was at college, and she'd send stupid things like "Nancy" (hmm, wonder why--Gran was not always so original!) or Marmaduke. I had to beg her to send C&H, which she resisted. "There are too many words!" "Tough! Why not send me what I want??" She relented, and ended up loving the strip once she was forced to pay attention to it. :)
The "Academia, here I come" strip and the last-minute panic are also writing favorites of mine. Good stuff. The thing about C&H is that there's SO much of it. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't remember them all. When uComics had reruns available for free a few years ago, I was addicted, which is why I have those to offer. The C&H indexes should be helpful, too. I was surprised that I managed to find the strip I was looking for a few weeks ago, even though I only remembered one or two words of the dialogue.
Good luck!
ETA: I just realized that somehow, the last-minute panic strip didn't show up. It's the second in the story-writing sequence. Let's try this again...
ETA2: And this one, though it falls into the "stretch" category!
