Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 06, 2012

this does ring of Ayn Rands philosophy

Perhaps a lot of Social Security recipients will feel like panel 3 applies when it stops, after they paid in for 50 years.

“Condition a child to be kind toward others and they tend to be that the rest of their life. Allow a kid to remain in irresponsibility, or even condition a kid to be irresponsible and the end result is what you get in much of my age group.”Wow. I actually agree with something you said. Incredible.

hello….everyone…i miss you all

It’s good to end “me decade”!

Truly “entitled”.

No, Calvin. I believe it’s already the Al Franken decade and he’s not willing to give it up.

When does the Calvin Decade start?

The rest become Republicans.

Naturally, politics is written all over this…or rather just human nature.

Don’t worry, Calvin: Your parents will have the opportunity to recapture your dream in November.

So, we are all either Shmoos or Scrooges? That is a very sad commentary on humans

While so many people obviously somehow want to use the sagacity of Waterson to beat up on the GOP, it is worth noting that conservatives are much more likely to donate to charity than their counterparts. So get off your self-righteous soap box.

Calvin Decade(nce) – looks like he intends to have a (Calvin) ball!

The “me decade” never ended, it’s venue/purpose just changes from time to time. Today, the “me decade” is reflected in the OWS (bowel) movement.

And to all you political sycophants who just can’t help injecting your petulant and peurile “envy”, stick it. You are of the class who believes that just because you fog a mirror, you are “entitled” to something. If that isn’t a “me decade” kind of idealogy, then I guess I don’t know what is.

The only thing you’re entitled to do is to get off the “dope” of bread (EBT) and circuses (American Idol, etc.) and contribute by working or becoming productive members of society in some fashion.

nice calvin

No what you mean from the other side is “Hey ihe has something so let’s go take it from him, by force if necessary and give it to my friends since I already have mine and they can’t have any of mine.”

What a comic strip. All the comments are hilarious. Now THIS is what I come here for. Thanks.

Hobbes makes more sense than the other Tiger comic.If it isn’t a real magic lamp, it can’t grant your wish “that it IS a real magic lamp”!

Lots of unattributed ‘everybody knows’ kinds of comments. E.g., conservatives are more charitable…or the one I always find refreshing and original…‘taking from those who have labored’…goes right back to pre-union/slavery/4-5% unemployment as a goal. Reminds me of the sort of attitude that leaves baby girls on a hillside after birth. But we’re not like that. Are we?

Unbridled greed, conspicuous consumption of wealth and the get-ahead-by-any-means credo dodn’t disappear; they simply migrated to Government and Public-Sector Unions, where they’re safer.

Greed and selfishness runs almost everything now….if the world ran on charity and love, there would be a lot more happiness and a lot less pain.

This plays to my understanding of growing up. Ayn Rand had an appeal to young people, before they become true adults and learn the value of social cooperation and working together. Today’s Tea Party people resemble Calvin all too closely, and, if you’ve ever really looked into what happens in countries ruled by the Taliban, you will notice a great similarity there as well. If 10 year old boys ran the world, had real power, we would be in deep doo-doo! We’re all in this together, let’s act like it!

I love his face in the 3rd Panel.

Just in time for the party conventions….

Join the Young Republicans – but leave Hobbes at home.

I think the greed decade is back.

Calvin The Great’s decade!

With the exception of Hobbes, of course!

Actually Calvin the greed and yeah for me and screw you was right around the corner.

No matter who wins or loses . . . I’ll sure be glad when the November elections are OVER!!!!!!!!!!

STOP RUINING MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES BY HAVING POLITCAL DISCUSSIONS IN A CALVIN AND HOBBES COMIC!!! YOU’RE IN THE COMICS SECTION GO TO A DIFFERENT PART OF THE NEWSPAPER!!!!!!! MAYBE THEN YOU’D HAVE INFORMATION TO SUPPORT YOUR DUMB IDEALS!

Who knew Calvin would grow up to become Mittens?

Any ad agency worth its salt would hire you in a flash, Calvin….

If you came here looking for humor, and all you see is political posturing and name calling, I would suggest you go over to Non Sequitor, but leave the politics here.

It certainly would be nice if there was at least ONE place left where you could get away from the Dem vs Rep garbage. Not even here is safe though. I’m sure there are plenty of blogs where politics is intended to be the subject matter. Please take it there.

The Calvin Decade started 1985-1995.

united we stand, divided we fall.

I agree on the Ayn Rand comment! Absolutely!
