Transcript:
Calvin: Take a look at this. Wouldn't you say this is a great drawing? I mean, can you believe my teacher didn't like it?! She said it wasn't "serious"! By golly, if this isn't serious art, then nothing is! Who set Miss Wormwood up as an arbiter of aesthetics anyway? This is a beautiful work of power and depth! Hobbes: It's a stegosaurus in a rocket ship, right? Calvin: See? You understood it!

A stegosaurus in a rocket ship sounds very serious to me! I mean, is the ship carrying the stegosaurus, and if so, is it supposed to be and/or is the stegosaurus on the loose? Is the stegosaurus piloting the rocket ship? Sounds very serious to me.

Is it that different from carrying whales in a Bird of Prey? I mean, really!
And let’s not even mention T. rexes in F-14s!
(Or is that T. reges? regi? rexi?)

The power is from the rocket blast, the depth is probably from the stegosaurus looking out of its depth.

What kind of school is he going to where a teacher expects their students, especially six-year olds, to draw something “serious”?
