Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 06, 2024

It’s not all black and white when you really look at it.

Hobbes have the right idea

watterson is a genius

It’s all so obvious

The really, really weird part is that there is no such thing as color. It’s all in the mind. Different colors are just different wavelengths of grey.

One of the perks of fatherhood; telling your kid really far out things, and convincing them that it’s true.

Calvin’s dad is really on a roll. He explains extremely complicated things simply enough for Calvin to understand. I’m not a father but I greatly admire his ability to simplify a complex world.

I’m with Hobbes.

Dad ought to be ashamed of himself! This proves how lacking he is in the “character” he’s been trying to build in Calvin! I hope Mom clobbers him with her dishpan hands!

In our house the world didn’t change to color until the 1960s when we go color TV.

I’m one of the people who dream in color, and I like it.

But there was a time when every picture was in black and white. Can we imagine how frustrating that was?!

Best C&H of all time…

Greyscale dinosaurs???

It’s no wonder that Calvin is the way he is.

Lying to your son. It is builds character ya knows.

I wonder how much whisky Dad has in that mug?

Two strip technicolor debuted during the silent film era. The process used two complimentary colors instead of the three color, three strip process of the 30’s, so the projected images had a limited color palette. In addition, some early silent films were tinted to indicate darkness, for example. “The Phantom of the Opera” has tinted scenes. Some folks may recall a similar tinting effect during one of the scenes of “South Pacific,” which was a brilliant red.

Calvin’s dad is practicing child abuse.

I used to teach photography at a junior college. This was the way I explained it to my students.
