Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 14, 1987
Transcript:
Calvin: Mom wants me to clean my room. This is the last straw! I don't have to put up with this totalitarianism! I'm seceding! Hobbes: Gee, can you secede from your own family? Calvin: Why no?! I never signed up for this group! I wasn't even consulted! The only reason Mom and Dad are my parents is because I was born to them! Hobbes: A biological comspiracy, huh?
Calvin inspired me so much with this when I was five. I decided to secede from my own family. I packed a backpack and a blanket and started walking down the street, determined to never go back. Then, my mom caught up with me and took me out for hot chocolate. All was forgiven after that.
