Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 23, 2024

Being hungry is not really heavenly.

In heaven there would be no people worth eating. Like the time Hobbes tried to eat Moe.

Doesn’t Hobbes prefer fish to people anyway?

In Heaven, there is no hunger, Calvin. Just peace and love—for those who deserve it!

Quandaries that can just eat at your soul

In heaven tigers still like to pounce on people.especially a Calvin person.

Sorry, Calvin. Ain’t no such thing.

The tigers and all the other wild animals will be calm and we’ll be able to pet and love on them like we do our kitty cats now.

Chose the lesser of two evils just developed indigestion.

All animals have a soul and they go to heaven. Just a we do.

It’s a quandary. A philosophical feedback loop.

Mr Watterson was a great artist, but always seemed to struggle when it came to theology.

Sigh, otherworldly problems.

In heaven there is no beer…♪ ♫

Revelation 7:16

They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;the sun shall not strike them,nor any scorching heat.

Heaven is not a human place, it is the Kingdom of God’s where His peace prevails and all worship Him and enjoy His Favor. As Isaiah Prophesied (Chapter 11).

“He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide by what his ears hear;

but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;

and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.

Righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist, and faithfulness the girdle of his loins.

The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid,

and the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.

The cow and the bear shall feed; their young shall lie down together;

and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

The sucking child shall play over the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den.

They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain;

for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

You two should work for the federal government.

Tigers are the gate keepers for those who don’t qualify for a ‘higher position.’’

I heaven there is no beer, that’s why I drink it here.

In heaven there is no beer, that is why I drink it here

No worries…..it is a pleasing place!!!!

And the lion will lay down with the lamb.

Of course. the Bible talks of The Lion lying down with The Lamb so what’s so the big deal with the Tiger hanging out with The Little Kid?

Gentlemen, that is what we call a Catch-22… ☺

That’s quite a conundrum!

What else IS in Heaven for tigers to eat? Maybe they’re satisfied with donuts.

As I said yesterday, the theological theme continues. Calvin may talk of appeasing the snow demons but he wants to spend eternity in Heaven with best friend Hobbes.

There was a strip which shows that Calvin has some worries about spending time in Purgatory before he goes to Heaven. In the strip, he gets a contented sigh from Hobbes and then tells us, “That sigh ought to get me out of a few years in Purgatory!”

I’m sure there would be something edible in heaven for you, Hobbes.

Maybe they have a never-ending supply of tuna

Gonna be a lot of disappointed people here.

This question is a lot eazier to answer if you replace “tigers” with “dogs”.

Tiger heaven is a branch of human hell populated by rich big game hunters.

Reality has no paradoxes kid. Sorry to disappoints you but there ain’t no such theengs as heaven or hell. When you dies that is the end of you.

All the tuna you want, though.

Truly a philosophical conundrum.

Isaiah 11 mentions lions and leopards, I suppose we could extend that to tigers.

Sounds like carnivores give up their hunting ways in heaven

In Tiger Heaven, it’s okay to play with your food.

Good News! There is no such place.

Based on Isaiah 11:6, I won’t be surprised if tigers (if any) on the New Earth will be vegetarians.

The lion will lay with the lamb…

maybe some people’s idea of heaven is other peoples “HE” double hockey sticks

Calvin , you’re just one hunger pain away from being some tigers happy bait.

The Bible says the lion will lie down with the lamb.

Maybe they could eat tuna sandwiches.
