Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 17, 1990
Transcript:
Calvin: Everyone takes me for granted! Nobody pays any attention to my needs! Is it too much to ask for an occasional token gesture of appreciation?! Mom: Ok, how about a big hug? Calvin: Could I have 20 dollars? See?! I don't matter to anyone! Nobody cares about me!
I find the irony is that even Calvin does not really pay attention to his own needs—he seeks money and possessions, entertainment (TV), and all sorts of things above true relationships, wisdom, and the other things that will satisfy the human heart.
