Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 02, 2015

Wow! And this is why we have a herd of six-year-olds running for a crowded primary??

As the Chinese might have wished us, we live in interesting times. That, of course, is a malediction.

The mantra of a 6 year old, “Don’t trust anyone over 10”. Mine (I have more than one), are more along the lines of “Age is merely mind over matter, if you don’t mind, it don’t matter”, and, “60 is the new 70”.

the six year old is in the white house.

These two would make a great pair

The only constant in life is government

“We’ve got to destroy the confidence of the people in the American establishment.” Richard Nixon

when did this strip run originally?

Interesting. You’re saying this as the 2 leading contenders (or has Carson dropped that much) are claiming that Muslims in NJ were in the street celebrating in 2001 and a few weeks ago after the bombing in France. They’re completely making it up.

In the last primary when it looked like Hillary was going to be nominated, I had decided that I would vote for anyone nominated by the GOP. Incredibly, they have managed to find candidates so awful, that I have to reconsider that. Hillary’s nomination is a real possibility and these guys are killing me.

“The prescience is just amazing… or is it just the case of not remembering the past and repeating it?”Exactly. History doesn’t exactly repeat, but people never change, so the same sorts of things keep happening.

This is why C&H is timeless.

It’s clear that several folks here consider Obama to be the worst President since Lincoln, who they’ll never forgive for ruining their nice Confederacy. But then it’s likewise obvious (and tragic) that the “Party of Lincoln” has, over the last few decades, morphed into the “Party of Jefferson Davis.” While they may worry me, I, for one, can not take such people seriously.

Next stop? The anarchy zone.

And this strip was done 20 years ago! The more things change…

Helllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooo Anarchy!

“We don’t trust each other” is the one that stood out to me the most.xxx

And that is who we keep re-electing!

Some days, I think I see why Watterson quit. This strip doesn’t look like the more whimsical C&H we got used to; it looks a bit like a warning from a man that was looking beyond his role as a cartoonist for mass-consumption. It doesn’t diminish my appreciation of his art; in fact, he was so prescient, it’s still a privilege to read his work (early or late).

You can’t trust internet either.

A typical day for Calvin in school:“Only eight o’clock and a lousy 20 seconds?!!”Susie: “SHHH!”Calvin: “It’s gonna be another lo-o-o-ong da-a-a-ay! Just like all the others! Aren’t I lucky there are only seven such days to a week!"

I may not live long enough to see the end of the United States, but you surely will

I have yet to set my “check out” date, but at my age I’m quite sure it will be well before 2040…

Some people read about history… some people make it!

Sadly, 25 years on, this has only gotten more frighteningly true.

How many times has Congress tried to repeal Obomacare? Who is throwing the temper tantrums? Get real.

Calvin is the next Alex Jones
