The Brilliant Mind of Edison Lee
- by John Hambrock
- (3 June 2012)
Young Edison Lee is Danny Dunn (from my childhood) crossed with Bill Watterson’s Calvin (from my kids’ childhood), complete with a time machine (which both Danny and Calvin also had). The first appearance I saw was in 2012, although it wasn’t until 2014 that the real travelin’ seemed to start, with a trip back to 1972.
Even then, though, I almost put the whole thing into the it’s-only-in-his-imagination category, but what could possibly be more real than a kid’s imagination?

Edison Lee: So do me a favor. In forty-two years don’t let me “borrow” your tools without your knowledge to build this stupid time machine.
1972 Dad: I’m such a horrible father.
Edison Lee: And buy more chocolate milk.
