Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 20, 2023

The bug’s world doesn’t revolve around you, Calvin.

Who wouldn’t mock Calvin?

He’s just trying to get away from that crazy giant that puts boulders in his way and flips him over for the fun of it.

Jealous, much??

Proves that humans are pretty low on the ladder of evolution, eh, Calvin??

Something seems to be bugging Calvin.

I get a rare bug in my house I take them out alive even wasps. Wolf spiders…you’re dead!

Cal doesn’t appreciate certain behavior models.

“Goosh”? I understand what it means (squish, stomp, splatter it’s guts all over), but I’ve just never heard, nor seen written, that word(?) before.

I kind of figured this one would end with Calvin stepping on him.

“If”?

Life’s lessons can come from the most unlikely places.

Yeah, ‘Cause it’s all about you. He doesn’t know you exist….

Maybe he’s teaching you, Calvin. By example.

Imagination runs wild.

Sometimes, it’s nice to be the goosher rather than the gooshee, isn’t it, Calvin?

Calvin, how would you know?

Well Calvin, self-awareness can have its problems.

snicker_…“goosh”…_chortle…

Life skills!

I suppose you don’t need to really know where your going to get somewhere.

I just love this kid!

Well, Calvin, maybe the bug is trying to teach you a lesson.

The bug also has nothing better to do.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Elder Gods.

LOL… I think Calvin secretly is jealous of bugs.

What, a magnifying glass and a sunny day wasn’t enough?

Leave that creature alone Calvin. Don’t bug him.

Goosh is such a great word

Goosh. Hilarious!

I cannot understand killing insects unless they’re mosquitoes or lanternflies!
