Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 21, 2024

A legend in his own mind…..

More people would rather just be rich than famous.

Calvin has a point. There are too many people who are famous just for being famous, like Paris Hilton, the Olsen twins, and the Kardashians.

Thanks to books and internet publications, you will live on forever.

I guess Calvin succeeded. He is famous, AND legendary.

There’s famous, legendary and infamous. Saw a few things about the fuss with one Johnny Somali, a Youtuber who got banned from Japan and is now being held in Korea. Sounds like a toddler who never grew up, but SK may teach him a little about the consequences of one’s actions. He’s no kid, he’s 24.

Hobbes is waiting for the ‘greatness’ to appear.

From what I’ve read of legends (Greek, Roman, Norse, Celtic, etc); the way to become legendary is to make really-really bad decisions.

May take some work.

Mission accomplished.

Love Calvin’s soapy ears.

Is Calvin making an a$$ of himself?

He’s a legend in his own mind.

The rabbit ears remind me of little Hubert in that old Mr Bubbles commercial. Great commercial! FUNNY!! >

Good luck doing that from the bathtub!

Eh what thees a bunny wabbit?

Bugs Bunny legendary.

the noodle incident makes him infamous

2 comics I truly miss…. Watterson’s Calvin & Hobbs and Breathed’s Bloom County

I can see no reason why I would have ever wanted a hoard of people following me around with cameras flashing, asking me for a selfie, my autograph, or insisting on asking me about aspects of my personal life I would never have intentions of sharing. Those who seek such attention and adulation must truly come from a different planet than I do.

“It’s on my to do list!”

Wildly popular one minute, yesterday’s news the next. Give me comfortable obscurity every day.

Well, Calvin’s right about any idiot can become famous, even if it’s just for 15 minutes or so.

Legend……don’t that mean you are dead???

I’d like enough money to be able to afford the groceries I want, instead of making do.

To my generation, Calvin IS legendary!

Being legendary is sort of eternal, Calvin.

You are Calvin, you are legendary.

The pointy haired boss from Dilbert has put in an appearance.

The look on Hobbes’ face in the last panel is priceless…

How much soap does mom put in the tub?

Well, of course Calvin’s going to be the legendary type if he has rabbit ears!

Anyone who set the stage for Louise Belcher has to be legendary

As John Kenneth Galbraith said, “If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by adequate error.”

Over time, my little genius friend… over time.

Well, as we know, it worked out. Calvin is one of the most famous little boys in history

Idiot being the operative word huh, sure about that Calvin ??? ;-)

Given that Hobbes has his back to Calvin, I’m surprised that he wasn’t smothering giggles.

I was browsing a rare books on-line inventory and there was a Kim Kardashian collector book there… I guess somebody will buy it at some point. No, I did not see any Calvin and Hobbes books unfortunately, lots of pop-up books for kids which was surprising.

Calvin is more of an Immortal Cultural Icon – which should be good enough. :)

If only …

I’d been born rich instead of so darn good lookin’!

If anybody can look legendary in the bathtub, its Calvin.

Oh, but he is! (and was, even then, too)

Cue Drake: “EMMBARASSINNNNGGG”

If you happen to make rabbit ears at six in the bathtub you have material for becoming famous later on. Not to mention you are already dictator for life for the gross club.
