Not too many six-year-olds have read Kafka. But Hobbes seems quite erudite. That huge vermin is very effective in metamorphosing Calvin’s room into a disgusting, smelly sty.

Sigh. I remember when the bedbug thing was just a funny way to say goodnight, not a real possibility here in America. Yuck!

“Sometimes I wish I could crawl along the walls like a bug. Go team Kafka. I at least want six arms like the god Shiva.”

I love all of the deep, highly sophisticated humor in these strips. “Kafka dreams”! If Calvin has read “The Metamorphosis”, that would definitely explain his fascination with physiological transformations!
