Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 20, 2011

Tiger philosophy…

To Reproduce or not to Reproduce….that is the Question!

To become food is easier as to get food!

Yes indeed, We are all apart of the food chain apparently.

I wonder if Calvin even caught on to Dad’s subtle diss!

The word “reproduce” seems like a misnomer for humans, since kids never seem to be a reproduction of their parents. In Calvin’s case, his parents are keenly aware of this.

“… the importance of reproducing was greatly overrated.” Gee, I wonder why Dad would say that? Hmm. (notice the sarcasm here)

Calvin does seem to notice one important fact at the end though. :-)

Is Calvin thinking of moving out? Would his parents be : A. devastated? B. delighted? C. delirious? D. dubious?

Circle the best answer.

pouncingtiger, it’s probably an opinion that will vary from family to family. After Calvin, I’m sure the decision was easy to stop at one - though I’m sure in hindsight he would have preferred to stop at none.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠!

Pretty deep stuff for a first grader.

Snack for tiger!

It’s good, that everyone becomes food, everyone, poor, rich, beautiful not beautiful, everyone…

I don’t mind becoming food, as long as I get to decide when!!

The idea of killing one to save a million is getting more common.

On the issue of mating, I would probably only attempt to have a child once every seven years.

Hobbes is right, food is good and it don’t matter if its produce or re-produce

@Yukoner…the answer is E. All of the above.

Careful, Calvin! Remember… tigers eat their young! Hobbes’ last line should be a warning!

@Yukoner…to a tiger, the answer is “delicious”.

“Everyone becomes food” – except tigers, of course. Right Hobbes?!

Terrific C & H today! Thank goodness that I made my decision not to have children before I had them.

Slip-Slidin Away. Cartoons are “The Great Escape” We are all here, because we’re not all there. Don’t take Life so seriously and it will be a lot more enjoyable. LOL!!!!!!

Making decisions like that . Calvin NO Hobbes MAYBE

Hi Destiny: Yes, it’s always more convenient when one’s perspective is from the top of the food chain.

Hi Yukoner: I think the answer is: E. Downright euphoric.

Wow! Such wisdom from the mouths of comics.

Some days you eat the bear. Some days the bear eats you.

You are one of a kind, Hobbes!

G’Afternoon, Mike, Marg & Grog!

Hobbes’ definition of vegetables and grains: Stuff Food eats.

As an aside, I have heard that the best Nature shows are those with sex and violence–animals chasing down others for the kill, and animals mating.

As an aside to the aside, I heard of a biology professor who used to describe the four “Fs” of animal drives: Flight, Fighting, Feeding, and … Mating.

Did you ever notice, how Calvin and Hobbs, seem to have their deepest, most philosophical, discussions, when they are going down a hill on a toboggan?

Based on Hobbes’ expression, I think he got it. But Calvin? It appears to me as though his father’s answer went right over his head.

well, GretchensMom, he IS pretty short.

All I know is, the older my granddaughter gets, the more naps I feel I need! My granddaughter says all the time, “Grandma I don’t need a nap” to which I respond, “Well, grandma needs a nap, so we’re taking one!”

Hush Night-Gaunt. There are people here who believe humans couldn’t possibly have the slightest effect on the planet!
