Unlike many comics from the ‘80s and early ’90s, Calvin & Hobbes holds up brilliantly.  (Speaking of comic recommendations, I am besotted with Nathan W. Pyle’s gentle, funny, and profound Strange Planet webcomic.  Check it out if it’s new to you.)

The title of this puzzle, of course, is one of Calvin’s alter egos.  Interestingly – draw whatever conclusions you wish – I typed the title as “Spaceman Spliff” and didn’t notice until I’d finished cluing the grid.
