Transcript:
Calvin: There aren't many heroes these days. Who is out there to inspire us with a personal example of virtue and self-sacrifice in the name of a higher good? Who can we look up to? Business leaders? Sports figures? Politicians? Celebrities? Heck, we're lucky if they don't end up in prison! Hobbes: Fortunately, if we can't get inspiration, we'll accept entertainment. Calvin: As usual, the hero business is up to me.

Calvin, answering the call.

I’m surprised that Calvin doesn’t think of Ted Turner, whose environmental cartoon Captain Planet and the Planeteers was on the air from 1990 to 1995. I’m also surprised that, given Calvin’s love of the Earth and also of cartoons, he never references this cartoon. He and his parents should’ve watched it together, especially the episode “In Zarm’s Way”, which stresses the importance of parents being positive role models for their children.
