    Hyping yourself will become so much easier in a few years when you can blog and tweet about yourself 24/7.

    Calvin’s an expert at ignoring the first step. But even more today than when this first ran, he’s got a lot of examples of exactly what he’s aiming at: Celebrities. People who are famous for being famous.

    Talk Shows are so last century. It’s “Reality Shows” now, Calvin.

    Maybe it will be one of those shows where one guest loves tigers and the other hates tigers and they get into a fight.

    Here we have Hobbes, a stuffed toy tiger with more smarts than a six year old who spends ten years in the first grade. What’s this world coming to?

    Considering when this was originally published, long, LONG before Trump, you have to give Bill Watterson credit for his psychic powers.

    Becoming knowledgeable and developing useful skills are both worthwhile, but they’re not necessarily the same.

    Sounds like his goal is to be a TRAITOR Trumputin supporter. Not going to be one to let education get in the way.
