Favorite Activities
Curtis frequently enjoys going to Gunther's Barbershop. Gunther, the owner of the shop, can never correctly recall Curtis' name and instead calls him by a random selection of names (names that typically begin with the letter "C"). Gunther regales Curtis and the other barbershop customers with jokes and stories. Gunther's stories often involve unlikely interactions with celebrities, but his only proof of any such interactions are photographs in which a large thumb invariably blocks any view of the reported celebrity.
Another one of Curtis' favorite places is a local record store that is always disguised as another type of establishment (i.e. "The Don King School of Etiquette" among others) because the local parents constantly torch the place for the type of music it sells.
Curtis also loves to go to the movies where he watches gory, horror movies alongside Barry who tags along even though he doesn't approve of them.
A running gag has Curtis making fun of ladies' hats while at church, which always appears in the Sunday edition of the strip, usually near holidays, especially Easter.
Curtis loves fried chicken, as evidenced by his refusal to hang out with his friends to play basketball in order to help his mother make chicken.
Curtis routinely sneaks food when and where he should not. He sneaks out of bed at night to get food, but is usually caught by his parents. He also sneaks food into the movies and church where, despite his brother's nagging worries, Curtis is almost never caught.
Curtis also enjoys reading the comic book Adventures of Supercaptaincoolman, which he often gets in trouble because he habitually reads in during school.

Famous quotes containing the words favorite and/or activities:
“The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
