C. E. Workman Jr. jotted down the following:

> "Transmute"????

    To change one form, nature, substance, or state into another.

Compare with "transmogrify" (which on the whole is a much tastier word)

    To change into a different shape or form, especially one that is
    fantastic or bizarre.

Does anyone know if Calvin & Hobes was actually the source of the second
word?
