Let people theire happiness! Each must do, how he thinks, it’s good for him!!It’s no happiness to force someone in a kind of life, he doesn’t want to!!
Picasso gave free art classes to little kids when he got older. He is famous for saying in an interview, “When I was their age, I could draw like Rafael. It took me half my life to learn to draw like them.”
Art’s a fart, you know in your heart…at least the modern stuff is. I remember when Tapies sold a 9 foot high dirty sock with a hole in it as “sculpture” for a couple of million. If a child in school were to turn in something like that they would call in the psychiatrists.
I remember when this first came out. I read the first panel, and wondered if they had gotten Rex Morgan or Mary Worth mixed up with Calvin and Hobbes. . . .
+++++
Hobbes approves of Calvin’s underpants because they look like leopard skin. Not as good as a tiger, but close.

The line “it take one to know one” in what I can only assume is in a Tarzan accent, always cracks me up!

Mom you just think you know what happened,Calvin is innocent but very very cold.Innocent of what Mom might be thinking of.

Somehow I doubt the “first husband” does much cooking (when we finally get to that role).

We miss you, Bill Watterson! The funnies just haven’t been the same without you and Calvin and Hobbes.

The first thing I thought was, “Hilary Clinton’s dream turned nightmare.” Of course Bill would have to get in shape for the role. ;-)

I thought I had the wrong strip at first, too, SUSAN.
But this one’s a classic. Love the dialogue and the artwork.
Watterson, you are amazing.

Friends and I used to sleigh in underpants, made it about20 minutes, feet were the first to go. Great fun, greatmemories, and terrific art work here.

Luv the imagination of both kids. Man Calvin as an adult u have a great body.

Actually, the correct term would be “First Lord.” The “lady” in “First Lady” is the opposite of the word “lord,” not “husband” or “gentleman.”

The third (and final) soap opera like comic was clever, but Calvin as Tarzan is funny. Dude, don’t walk home in the cold in your undies!
