Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 21, 2018

I hope that wrapper is bio degradable.

These two deserve each other!

Mars is amazing!

Leave it there! Leave your mark on this planet that no one has been on.

I hope it was a Mars Bar…

It only takes one human to muck up a planet!

Wonderful two frame vista of the rugged, natural beauty. And a speech bubble in the first frame that comes from the second. Watterson nails it again.

“And there’s no one there to raise them if you did”

How long before they’re at each other’s throats?

This is why I don’t think terraforming is a way to get away from our pollution of the earth. Stephen Hawking had this dream that we’d terraform and colonise other planets, but humans being what we are, we’d certainly be well on our way to ruining them as well, long before they were anything close to as habitable as the Earth is now.

They’ll soon get fed up of it, as soon as the food runs out…

Okay, but where are you going to put your wrapper, Calvin?

I prefer the greenery and waterfalls through which the 2 troll during summer holidays.

Still, Mars needs Mom!

Cue the Martian with a tear in his eye…

There goes the clean neighbourhood. (sigh)

When I was in high school (back when the earth was still cooling) a bunch of us were hired to pick up trash in a wilderness area. Spent the entire summer packing out the junk left by the back packers.

Every year local groups have to do a clean up of the river side fro all the trash the pigs throw away.

Does Calvin even know he’s sounding like his dad!

Trash on Mars. “You have made me very angry. Very angry indeed!”

Ummm…Hobbes…if it wasn’t your wrapper, and Calvin is the only other entity there capable of depositing a wrapper…

Humans were put on earth to incorporate plastic into the environment. It’s our only “invention” that can not return to nature.

You should see what a herd of deer can do to an area.

Mars looks eerily similar to landscapes after glacier have melted away.

He’s earning his spot in the Junior Polluter’s League.

That’s not my fist in your mouth, is it?

It doesn’t take long!

I wonder where they REALLY are? Backyard? Park? Calvin’s Bedroom in an imaginary corner?

cool

It had better have been a Mars bar!
