Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 26, 2012

We are here to find and discover god and to prais him!

It just maybe the lateness of hour it is for me, but can someone please explain the connection between the last panel and the rest of the strip?

Nope.

The circle of life …

We invented “inside” for a reason.

Since the penalty for sin was death, had Adam not sinned, where would he be?

Only if I can be 29 forever. And retain all the knowledge I have obtained in the many years since that date..George Bernard Shaw was right – Youth is wasted on the Young.

If I could be 25 again and have the youth and vigor, the enthusiasm, the strength, the conficence that I had then. If I could have my mind fuctioning perfectly so I could learn and retain what I learned and put it to good use, If I could capture all my emotions and have them work for good, for kindness and gentle things, for mercies of every kind and lovingkindness for all earths beings. If I could really get to know God and to be known by him as a worthwhile person,And if all the other people in the world had the same aims and intentions and feelings of love and consideration for each other and for the earth and it’s diverse and amazing creatures…………then YES, most certainly YES, it would be grand to live forever.

Dennis, the perpetual 5-year-old, to his buddy Joey O h to be two years old again, knowing the things I know now.

Life is a bitch, and then you die.

I don’t particularly want to die but OTOH I’m not sure I want to live in an ever-deteriorating state in a ditto wordl.

Worry not Calvin, Hobbes wouldn’t bother to eat you. You would be just a mere tidbit at best. Now turn out the lights and go back outside and build a snowman or something.

@puppybreath,You have sort of described heaven.You “live” forever or you “die” forever. Take your choice!

I wouldn’t want to work forever to support my living forever.

The cave and its descendants are looking pretty good just now.

The guy who wanted you to live for more than a year I guess.

XD MOM DO IT OR ILL EAT U. WAIT NO NVM I"LL EAT U AANYWAY

Although I used to backpack and love the outdoors, I also love what the comic Jim Gaffigan says—“if the outdoors are so great, why are all the bugs trying so hard to get in my house?”

And yes, to agree with those above, oh, to have the vigor and figure of my youth with the knowledge I have now! And to be able to eat ANYTHING and not gain weight—how unfair that I have all these wonderful recipes and have gotten to be quite a good cook, only to be able to gain weight by looking at something!

I don’t like eating anything alive, it wiggles on the way down!

My favorite Hobbes quote.

Unfortunately, humanity does devour each other alive…just in an emotional rather than physical sense.

Not quit the answer he was expecting.

You are either prey or predator. Usually you can choose which.

Hobbes is Republican?

Profound wisdom Hobbes, just profound!

To LXO13….this is a comic strip….& a good one……lighten up! If there were a God, she would appreciate the humour without having to preach….

Once again Hobbes get to the basic truth.

kea, that’s impossible…

I like to days comment that Phoebe Dog made today.

i thought we were here because nature needed styrofoam (thank you George Carlin).

Awwwwwwww!

LOL xxx

Hopefully when I get devoured, I will be hurled back as a computer, so that I may know everything at least for a little while, until I am again devoured…..by technology

@puppybreath

Well said.

To paraphrase George Carlin, “What’s so great about God? Every living thing he’s made died! So far, anyway! So far…” By creating “indoors”, we’ve subverted natural selection of our species, so not only the strong and healthy survive. Morally I’m fine with that, but I’m just suggesting to keep a healthy distance from tigers.

And, perhaps His greatest miracle is when He says

“Come Home”

We are here “to know God, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him for ever in heaven.” Tigers just do that naturally. Between meals, of course.

++++

@*puppybreath*, that is a good approximation of heaven, by most accounts.

puppybreath, that’s what Jehovah’s Witnesses have beentrying to tell people for YEARS!!!!!

Opus answered best: “You’re born, you live, you go on some diets, you die.”

Hmmmm, seems like there are some here speaking the pure language. Like minded. :)

lol, no one devours tigers.

The tiger is full of it. We see him often curled up by the fire in the living room – all inside and in the front of the bus and everything…..on the other hand, this cartoon really gave me a good laugh – all the modern conveniences – old guy here REALLY likes them…

amen, LX013

But it is the place for you to express your political views? Not all live by your rules.

another way Calvin is the odd kid out…….. he does not want to be eaten alive.

yes
