Calvin actually begins his journal tomorrow but Watterson dropped the idea after that. He went back to showing Calvin interacting with other characters – especially Hobbes – rather than writing in a journal.
I do wonder why the Martians would choose Indianapolis as a primary target, but then perhaps they have already finished with the more lucrative targets.
Those Midwest states sure attract the aline invaders: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Creature_That_Ate_Sheboygan#:~:text=The%20Creature%20That%20Ate%20Sheboygan%2C%20designed%20by%20Greg%20Costikyan%2C%20is,designs%20the%20monster’s%20destructive%20abilities.
I had the same thought process when I was an arrogant teenager, though I was going to let the world get it cheap. It did lead me to my habit of keeping a daily journal, which has continued ever since.

How will people be able to tell the difference after they Martians finish attacking Indianapolis?

That’s cool and all, but it’s no match for Bill Watterson thinking of a 6 year old stuffing a tiger and bringing it to life.

The world prefers stable mentality, Calvin. You got a long way to go there.

The better journal would be from Hobbes, from what he has seen. Maybe that’s where Bill Watterson is getting his material.

You could write about Dad’s telling you that doing things you hate builds character.
That alone could fill a book!!

They should attack at the end of May; make a weekend of it. Save the Speedway for last, Martians!

The Martians arrived on March 29th with fifteen Mayflower moving vans packed with their stuff.

With space ships and lasers, cities can only defend themselves with bad restaurants martians might eat at by mistake

Genius is not a disease and is non-communicable. Every genius is pretty much on one’s own.
Somewhere there is a well-paid “defense scenario” genius drawing pictures of Martians attacking Indianapolis.

This strip never ceases to amuse – even in repetition. I sure wish Watterson was still producing it!

Know how Calvin feels. I have started diaries/journals over and over again, before I give it up then start again, gaps of years.
