Odd Thought

In "Calvin and Hobbes", Calvin's female nemesis was named Suzie Derkins; Suzie is presumably short for Susan.

Calvin.

Susan.

Does anybody else suspect Watterson may have buried yet another in-joke in there?

Um, what would be the injoke? Or am I just dense?

Eh, I don't really know. (About the in-joke, that is.) It's just that the juxtaposition of the names "Susan" and "Calvin" brought I, Robot to mind.

Ah. I haven't read I, Robot, so that explains my confusion.
