Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 03, 2019

Is Calvin the force for Armageddon?

yeah, weekends are nothing unless you have cartoons on the telly to watch

Well, I will admit that watching Bugs Bunny is certainly not a bad way to pass the time.

“That’s all folks!”

Well what did you think the grand sweep of history was for?

The problem is we have a nation full of people who believe this. Thanks Ayn.

I exists therefore I’m entitled.

And human history will dictate your life and your end Calvin.

What many of us have done to vindicate history, I’m sure.

If I’m the very pinnacle of evolution, then what’s that make of my siblings, let alone my cousins… I might have expected that tiger to have a somewhat different perspective than Calvin, although he did get in a subtle dig at the end…

I just like Hobbes subtle sarcasm – “On a weekend?”

I prefer to think of it as a cruel joke on the lives you have touched and the lives yet to be touched.

We are all the end result of ~14 billions of years of evolution of the universe, you as well as the flies you swat and the ants you step on. Every life is as special as your own.

“You are the crown of creation.”

Bill Watterson has stated that he named Calvin after John Calvin who had a strong belief in predestination and Hobbes after Thomas Hobbes who had a very bleak view of human nature. This strip is one which highlights Calvin’s belief in predestination and also shows him at his most self-centred.

Calvin is very philosophical for an idiot.

Personally, I think Mel Blanc was a greater vindication of history.

Calvin grows up to be Hari Seldon.

What a narcissist…and he has weird orange hair…hmmm…

Even 13.75 Billion years may not not be enough time to prepare for Calvin’s coming.

Calvin vs. the Total Perspective Vortex

Pretty big words Calvin…

Great. So does that mean the world will end now?

For those who thought Alice was the center of the universe, we bring you … CALVIN!

Now I’m certain that I’ve actually met Calvin – many times.

I’m often surprised at how much time a kid with this much imagination spends watching crap on TV.

I’m in! Bugs Bunny is the best!

Wait until he gets older, and learns he wasn’t “planned.”

Now if he’d said the purpose of history was to produce Bugs Bunny, he might have a point.

Actually there is a lot of truth behind Calvin.. Just think about ALL the ancestors of each and everyone of us that had to survive all the perils of disease.. wars.. famine..

A millennial?

“I’ve discovered my purpose in life. I know why I’m here and why everything exists.”“Oh really?”“Yes, I am here so everybody can do what I want.”

Well, it’s easy enough to demonstrate that the existence of any particular given human being is mathematically impossible.

As Bugs would say, “What a maroon.”

Calvin must be related to Rat from Pearls Before Swine

If you believe Calvin is alone in his philosophy, try to imagine the world without you in it. Sobering thought?

Glad to see that all that history wasn’t wasted.

The musings of an only-child.

I’d love for Calvin to meet Sedgewick Nuttingham III from the Monty strip. They have so much in common.

Who knew Calvin grew up to be Beto O’Roarke?

The last panel makes me think of the Elmer Season clip …

Calvin, omega point of the Weltgeist.

My husband always tells me that all the events in the world had to happen to create me. I then had to say how sorry I was that the current state of events happened on my creation. He looked at me with a smile and said “They just do not know how to handle you and your influence babe.”

So yeah, I made him his favorite pie today. Any wonder why?

“But, I can’t say ‘Sylvester,’ George.” Loony Tunes, Popeye, the original Tom & Jerry, most of the Hanna Barbera shows, Quick Draw McGraw, Huckleberry Hound… yes, I watched “Speed Racer,” as well, but, that was also WAY before the insanely violent animation appeared. And to think… “Loony Tunes” was deemed to be “too violent!”

I can think of lots worse things Calvin has done other than watching Bugs Bunny.

Actually Calvin, you’re not that special. The sum total of History has brought each of us to this point in time.

Now we find out that Calvin became Donald Trump??

hegel’s last man—calvin?

Anyone else recall “The Three Little Bops”?
