Holy shit, I just realized that Eve in panel 4 has almost the exact same expression as Calvin in one of the early C&H strips where he tries a cigarette. All that's missing are Eve's feet comically lifting six inches off the ground with the force of the coughs.
I'm guessing this is more coincidence than homage, but it was still cool to find.
I too have that strip, on the Essential Calvin and Hobbes, I think. It's funny when I was young, but I'm sure now most papers wouldn't allow such a joke.

I stand corrected, that most certainly did happen. 😛

I thought you were talking about Cyanide and Happiness. I have officially forgotten my comic roots.
