Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 26, 2024

Meanwhile, number 1 runs and hides from Calvin.

You seem to spend a lot of time in the principal’s office…..

Too many people live by that same principle, Calvin.

I look out for number two, it makes a bigger mess if you step in it.

I’m number 1 def not 2

Unfortunately, when you’re 6 years-old, the parents are #1 and #2

There might come a time, Calvin, when you have to tell your parents, channeling Groucho: “Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them… well, I have others.”

Calvin looks different in panel #3.

Sounds about right, Calvin.

I was very principled person when I was Calvin’s age – mainly in the principal’s office.

Everyone should be a humanist and care about all humans.

In “Looking Out For #1,” Robert Ringer explains why that is exactly what everyone does, and why it is a good thing.

My financial advisor!

As a late colleague of mine used to say:

“Self first, self last, anything left over, self again!”

Do on to others before they have a chance to do onto you

Looks after number one. And Hobbes can look after himself?

Looking out for number one was a BTO song.

A great song from Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

Trust me son. You’re much better off looking out for number two!

who’s number one.

A follower of the Golden Rule: he who has the gold makes the rules.

I married #1…

I had a stint in solitary confinement and while I was there, I came to the conclusion that when all the trivial things in life are stripped away, the only thing we have left is ourselves and each other.

Most people get the first part: themselves.

Ha! That “principal” will not fly in today’s world!

Well, that IS a principle…of sorts…

Calvin’s statement “ look out for number one” is the problem going around nowadays. No one cares about anyone else. The ME generation!

……..purty much typical for a 5th grader!!!!!

Number one is my wife and I always look out for her. So, I am with you Calvin.

That’s what Joe Burrow does when he drops back to pass or is in the shotgun… Looks out for Number One, Ja’Marr Chase.

Calvin has the No. 1 Gangster Principle…. “Look out for Number One.”

He could be the President someday.

is Hobbes number two at least. :J

Detention was my 8th class of the day in the third grade

You’re wrong, Calvin. Too many people share your principle.

And his hair quickly turns Orange…

It would be fun to see Hobbes saying, “Sounds like a good principle. I’ll adopt it, too. Goodbye.”

Calvin? Or Ayn Rand?

Looking out for number one is a narrow minded, conservative selfish principle. A Liberal knows that looking out for everyone benefits everyone. No need to worry about number one. It comes naturally. The ‘Make America Great Again’ (MAGA) garbage is baloney.

When the U.S. armed, supplied and manned the allies in WW2 bringing victory, we had the 19th rated armed forces in the world. 6 years later we were far and away Number One. Then, using the ‘Marshall Plan’, the U.S rebuilt the world, both the defeated and our allies. That made us ‘number one’ to this day. Those we rebuilt simply pushed us up higher.

But the short-sighted and narrow minded selfish conservative can never see anything more than Me!

Timely.

Sounds like a lot of other people lol

Actually, if you’re walking in the woods, you should look out for number 2. Bears, you know.

And when walking in the woods, look out for number twos, also.

With a donkey gvt. this needs to be something to live by (credo)?

He’s ready for the White House!

Follow Calvin’s thoughts

That’s more of a tiger’s life principle.

This is where Trump got his mantra!

Made for internet age ! ;-)

I never knew my Dad took his life philosophy from Calvin! Actually, I think Calvin took it from my Dad.

You are headed straight to the parliament, buddy.
