A while ago, I picked up a nice "Calvin and Hobbes" neck tie for £2 ($3) in a second hand shop. Now my little bro is a huge fan of Calvin and Hobbes, and wanted it for himself .. but I wanted to keep it too.
So, it is his birthday soon, and I thought maybe I could find him a Calvin and Hobbes tie on eBay, that would make him really happy! Well, I found one identical to mine, but .....

Geez!!!! And it's not even an official product (Bill Watterson was famously reluctant to authorise any merchandise from his characters, so the ties are almost certainly dodgy Asia-produced knock offs ..)
On a side note, if anyone knows that they could get hold of one for a REASONABLE amount, pleeease let me know. I am talking up to $25 max. Or I will trade! :-)
(His birthday is June 11th)
