Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 14, 1991

Transcript:

Calvin: There's Venus. There's Mars. An there's Jupiter. And I'm stuck here. On a clear night like this, you realize how incomprensibly vast the universe really is. I wonder what early man must've thought as he watched the skies. He'd see he was an infinitesimal part of creation, but he'd have no understanding of planets or stars or comets or anything. Imagine how big and mysterious the night would've seemed to him! I'll bet he felt very fragile and afraid, don't you think? ...Hobbes? Hobbes?? H-hello? Anybody?? Augh! Hobbes: I'll bet that's what he felt like! Saber-tooth tiger food! Calvin: From now on I'm going to stay inside at night and watch TV.
