Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 12, 2023

Is Calvin going to go to war with the world when everybody doesn’t do what he wants?

Every single person’s goal in life is to make sure everyone is sad when they die.

No, that’ll just add more stress to everyone that puts up with you, Calvin.

good to know, Calvin… good luck at that

Sounds like he took too much of his meds!!!

Serene parents are scary…

I wonder if Calvin is related to Trump.

All hail the great and mighty Calvin!

Moe be serene? Won’t happen.

Dissociative identity disorder AND narcissistic personality disorder. At least Trump only has the latter. So far as we know.

That reminds me of an interview that Bill Gates had with Time magazine back in the mid-80s. Bill Gates said, “It is possible, you can never know, that the universe exists only for me. And it’s going quite well for me, you must admit.”

I’d do what he says if it means he’ll leave me alone for half an hour.

Sounds like Calvin is channeling Garfield. Cool beans!

Did Calvin grow up to be that German dude from the WEF?

Sounds, Religious, to me.

Given his difficulty with life in general and Moe in particular, Cal must seek comfort within himself.

Boy, does he have a rude awakening coming….OY!

Reality check – aisle one

Congratulations, Calvin. You have invented religion.

Calvin is right in his own way…after the world has laughed itself silly at him, they won’t have the energy to be anything but serene.

If Calvin dosen’t get his way, you’ll never get to things YOUR way again.

Happy Earth Day!

Yep… Calvin is a future entitled elitist – the world owes him everything for him doing nothing.

I accept it. Whoa. I’m suddenly feeling serene.

This is the nature of all humans, but Jesus taught that we must deny ourselves [set aside selfish interests]

Here’s my answer to that:

:-þ

Wait… did Calvin grow up to be TFG? LOL.

somewhat terrifying

When Mom pampers Calvin, she is serene. When she is angry with him, she is anything but serene.

I thought that is why I am here.

I had nothing to do with the state of this world. You can’t pin this mess on me!

I can see it now… Cage Match for World Rule — Calvin vs Danae

Now I get it! The now Mexican President was Calvin when he was a child

His serene highness.

Love Hobbes rolling eyes.

Calvin and Rat from Pearls Before Swine in a cage match…

Calvin is channeling Emperor Cuzco, from Emperor’s New Groove.

Calvin exists to entertain us and simultaneously think how glad we are that we don’t a kid like him.

You and me both, Calvin, you and me!

More like when you are gone Caeser.

He won’t be serene for long with that attitude. Danae certainly thinks herself queen of all.

So many people in my life that have this attitude. I can cut family members off, but it’s impossible to do with bosses.

“Once everyone accepts it, they too will be serene.”

Watterson should have surely been self centred. But as I understand he has vociferously resisted commercialization of this work by franchise. Difficult to understand this tremendously talented artist.
