    Spoken like a true peacemaker. Calvin really has his work cut out for him in getting his message out. Nevertheless, it’s admirable that he is willing to make such a sacrifice for the good of all. (And if you believe all of that……..)Perhaps today’s Calvin and Hobbes inspired the following strip by Stephan Pastis:Click here: Pearls Before Swine (May 29, 2010)Click here: Pearls Before Swine (August 16, 2008)Click here: B.C. (August 30, 2011)Here is Lucy at the peak of her loudmouth years:Click here: Peanuts (August 16, 1961)Lucy became more subdued in her later years after Charles Schulz married Jean, his second wife. (She also started wearing pants instead of dresses.)Click here: Peanuts (July 31, 1986)

    That’s Danae’s claim. But then Calvin was here first

    There really ARE people like that – sociopaths. I had a neighbor who wanted me to give him $25,000. His final method was to tell me that he only wanted to create and give – create and give – and with each time, his hands extended further out, cupped.

    So, I asked him what he wanted to give me, and he had the perfect answer – “To be nice to me, do things for me, and give me things.”

    I just looked at my bare wrist, said “Oh LOOK at the time!” and walked away.

    This strip was a great inspiration to a Kenyan teenager studying at a Muslim school in Indonesia.

    I know for a fact our elected politicians have been using Calvin philosophy as a inspiration to advance their political careers for many,many years now.

    When they grow up, Suzy will follow and obey Calvin in everything he wants. Perfect wife. Calvin totally understands his “purpose in life.”

    Every time Hobbes rolls his eyes in the strip… It makes me crack up laughing every time.

    I love how ‘intellectual’ Calvin looks in the 2nd panel.

    Similar thought: The comments section at gocomics exists for me, so I can opine whatever I want because everyone knows my way is better than theirs.-[see’s a stone, picks it up, skips it across lake, whistling jauntily, confident all is right in my world]-What?

    Calvin is ahead of his time.

    the third panel got me laughing so hard I couldn’t breath! Bill is a genius. Of course the reason I laughed is because that’s not Calvin’s purpose in life. Its mine.
