Calvin & Hobbes left earth because they said that the grown-up had polluted it. So… What are he & Hobbes going to do to Mars if they stay? Human & tiger waste, candy bars, empty tuna cans, etc.
Look what pot is calling the kettle “black”…
Yes, the boys forgot a source of electricity, proper nutrition, tools & fuel to cook with (to at least melt the Martian ice), desalinization system, oxygen, Radiation-protective suits, a habitat with somewhere to sleep, a plan to grow their own food, etc.
In reality, Calvin’s probably in his sandbox, daydreaming again.
“In reality, Calvin’s probably in his sandbox, daydreaming again.”
——————————————————-
Did you really say “In reality”??? Really? In reality, Calvin is a set of contrasting pixels on a visual display. Or perhaps, more accurately, a few tiny electrical impulses in the synapses of Waterson’s brain. But I’m sure that Bill W. would be proud to know that you have become so thoroughly immersed in his imagination that you’ve come to consider it “reality”!
Do you suppose Calvin will ever ask “What is The Matrix?”
What they really should have brought is Susy Derkins who I am sure has a more practical mind (and Mr Bunny to keep Hobbes company.) And Susan 001 I think the problem is only Calvin’s as tigers lick themselves clean. Yuck!
…just as when he’s Spaceman Spiff on distant planet Zorg battling aliens but you see that, in the “real” world, Calvin is daydreaming in Math class again.

I think fearless explorer Spaceman Spiff should be helping them out with exploring/surviving the “NEW PLANET”

Boy his little red wagon sure holds a lot, but if Hobbes had really had it together he would have brought a flashlight.

I present for your consideration: “The Nightlight”.
Another of the many fine products which exist solely because someone found a way to market “fear”.
“Fear”. It’s the best product ever! ;-)

He should be homesick in two comic strips, the cause; out of tuna or under attack from Martians or The Martians smell the tuna and kick them out.

Perhaps our next Mars probe will capture pictures of a rusty wagon, some corroded cans, and a few bones.

I’d starve on their diet. Tuna is good for the garbage, but not my taste buds.

Not in Calvin’s case. All he’d need right now is Susie Derkins or his mother to appear.
