Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 14, 1989
Transcript:
Calvin: I've been thinking. Suppose I grow up to be one of the world's greatest men of all time. Suppose my name will be an inspiration to humanity for eons to come. What will the history books say? They'll say, "Much of his childhood was spent unwillingly in the bathtub." What an indigniy this bath is! Is this situation worthy of one of the greatest men of all time?!? My likely historical significance is a terrivle burden. Would you rather they said your childhood was dirty and smelly?

His historical significance will be forever tied to Hobbes.

However, typically, he’s hard to get into the bathtub, and hard to get out.

Because everyone knows that real men don’t take baths!

I know, right? It’d be much better if they said “Much of his childhood was spent willingly in the bathtub”!
