Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 21, 2012

She had a rather interesting way of saying “no” this time.

“.sdrawkcaB .maS niaga ti yalP”

Is this the vocabulary of a six year old??

Wow. That actually makes a lot of sense…some of my friends from high school won’t be happy with this news.

I was never able to listen to Korn the same way after their lead singer got saved.

Reality bites, Calvin.

If they’re commercial then they believe in money so they can’t be nihilists. Mum’s right again.

Does anybody out there really think their mom would have handled this like this??I didn’t think so.

Did I get it right, and Calvin’s mom asked him to sincerely commit suicide?I can’t have got that right, can I?

I often had such discussions with my sons! I don’t know, if it helped!

The only good “hood” is Robin Hood. And even he had his bad days. . ..

It’s a comic strip folks! It’s not supposed to be literal!

I had the exact same discussion with my Mom. No, Really!

Nihilism is its own reward!

@GretchensMom,To Dave Barry:But the wheel goes to get the pizza, or delivers it!

Poor Calvin. Another childhood dream dashed to bits on the jagged rocks of reality.

You can’t trust anyone over the age of 6, Calvin.

I didn’t know you can worship nihilism.

It’s always money isn’t it. Like Peyton Manning going to the Denver Broncos: In the end $100 million won over loyalty to Indianapolis a city that stood by him through thick or thin.

Lol, of course, all metal bands are Satan worshippers and suicidal.

I love the way that Calvin’s parents are really smart and treat him with with respect.

Calvin’s mom is good. A practical response to an absurd proposition. I don’t think his dad would have been so collected.

Especially mainstream commercial nihilism, Calvin.

Not true:http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1987/03/14http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1988/10/13http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1986/11/06There are others, but that will suffice for now.

Some kids respond to logic and reason. Others make do with a simple “no.”

Jeeze folks, it’s a damn comic strip!

Hang in there, Calvin. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet, Kiddo!

Lets ignore hes only 6 ,stupid demand Calvin.

Awwwwwwww!

You’ll learn, Calvin!

Mom here is very smart. Instead of unavailingly telling Calvin that the message is wrong and that he shouldn’t follow them, she tells him that it’s all a marketing farce. Smart mom!

Mainstream commercial nihilism – when the race for the Presidency gets going in earnest, this stuff will be a side dish compared to the main courses. Talk about disillusionment. I hope the weather holds so I can go outside and not get too depressed….

’all my friends grew up to be insurance sales men"

And I shocked my parents when I bought myself a Three Dog Night album!

Time for a candy fix..

calvin, be like most kids. download a copy from the internet. and, screw sopa, pipa, and acta.

Clever mom. She must take after her son.
