Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 08, 1992
Transcript:
Calvin: Here's an ad for a new gum called "Hyperbubble," and it says, "If you're not chewing Hyperbubble, you might as well be chewing your own cud." Ooh, great copy! Gosh, am I cool enough to chew Huperbubble? Maybe I'm not! Maybe if you chew Hyperbubble, you become cool! Or maybe if you chew it, everyone assumes you're cool, so it doesn't matter if you are or not! What do you think? Should I buy some? Hobbes: If your emotional security depends on satisfying a need you didnt' have until you read the ad, go ahead. Calvin: I think I will! Boy, I'm glad I get this magazine!
