Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 18, 2023

Girls are not obnoxious; they just have enough judgment to not like you.

I always knew Calvin had a big head but this is ridiculous! Even if it is still smaller than I thought.

I personally think the machine just gave him a big head as a sort of placebo to make him feel smarter, since Calvin already has a big vocabulary and he doesn’t seem to have changed that much here.

My brain cannot process what you are saying, Calvin. Maybe my intellectual level is much lower than yours.

To think, the Unified field theory was almost solved, but he was too bored to write it down.

Hey, what’s the big idea?

Unified Field Theory was the easy one. The second problem is much, much, harder.

Swelling of the brain is usually fatal, Calvin.

Something similar also happened to Einstein when his scientific skills started to deteriorate…

Psychosis going into overdrive.

A man finds a Genie in a bottle on a beach in California. His first two wishes were for wealth and a long healthy life, but he was struggling to find a good third wish.“I know, I’ve always wanted to see Hawaii, but I am terrified of boats and planes, so for my third wish I want a highway to Hawaii.” “Are you insane?” asked the Genie, “The engineering alone for such a project would be impossible, then there is the materials that could withstand oceanic forces, and don’t get me started on the union issues. Please choose something else, that it going to be nearly impossible even with magic involved.” “I see your point,” the man said, thinking it over, “Well… I have always wanted to know how the female brain works, how about that?” The Genie looked at him and sighed, “Did you want two lanes or four?”

He hasn’t changed much…..

Well, it does prove one theory: Inflating one’s brain DOES inflate one’s ego. Remember to check yours at the door, please.

Because they can…

42. The Ultimate answer of Life, the Universe, and Everything. Now onto the question of girls…

I’m sure that attitude will change in his teenage years

Calvin will have better luck developing the Grand Unified Theory than understanding women. His attitude about girls will change when he’s a teen.

Are you sure that it’s the girls, Calvin?

Hobbes, the natural laws answer is 42 per the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe. Excuse me why I grab my traveling towel ;-) .

Cal disregards the ‘trivial’ all-in-one solution for the truly serious stuff.

If girls are obnoxious does that make Calvin noxious?

So close….

Meanwhile, the equation remains unknown.

LOL

I want to see Hobbes wearing Calvin’s hats.

A.I. may seem cool, but not as smart as an average 8-year old.

42

you won’t think that in a few more years

And yet they are strangely attractive.

You’ll change your mind someday, Calvin.

Today is the first day that the Calvin and Hobbes strip was released.

Well there’s his argument topic, he could try to prove that it’s girls who are obnoxious and not boys. Of course he would then end up disproving his own arguments.

Girls are just sugar and spice, that is why Calvin hits them with water balloons, he is trying to dissolve them.

“I don’t understand why women are so unreasonable!”

“Have you ever tried talking to a woman?”

“Yes, and she was completely unreasonable!”

“What happened?”

“I asked her why women are so unreasonable, and she got angry! Completely unreasonable!”

It’s David McCallum in Outer Limits!

Unravel this:

Why do hot dogs come in packages of ten, but hot dog buns come in packages of eight?

Because they have to deal with boys and vice versa.

He’ll outgrow it!

Anyone who can figure out women is way ahead of any nuclear physicist.

I’m a slow learner. Only after a divorce did I begin to realize that men and women weren’t alike. After reading books like “Men Are from Mars and Women Are from Venus” and a couple of years of therapy I was able to develop relationships that mostly worked. Girls (women) aren’t obnoxious, they just think differently than guys do. The hardest thing for men: not mansplaining.

I’d be concentrating on leaping tall buildings at a single bound, and being more powerful than a locomotive

Yep, as part of his augmented brain, Calvin now speaks in stereotypical “genius” technobabble very frequently.

Because we can be.

Calvin’s big head triggered a memory of the 1955 film ‘This Island Earth’. A group of scientists were gathered to work with some ‘guests’, on a way to store nuclear energy. The fact that all of the ‘guests’ had huge foreheads and green skin didn’t seem strange to them at all. Still, if you suspended disbelief for a little, it was a pretty good movie, especially for 1955!

Happy Anniversary Calvin and Hobbes! It’s debut was in 1985.

Reverting to normal.

wonder if hobbes will start saying, “NARF!!”, that that calvin has turned into, “the brain”….
