    Calvin has an innocent mind?

    Don’t worry Calvin. I don’t think she will risk people thinking she is crazy.

    A successful rumour contains elements that lend it credence, or plays on the beliefs or desires of those it is spread to/by. Such as the “moon landing was a hoax” rumour among older folks in the 1970s.It gained credence among those who either didn’t believe it could be done, or didn’t want it to be done.

    I have to confess that my late brother and I were responsible for the idea of the moon landing being a hoax. We were in our early twenties at the time. One of my parents’ friends was very impressed by it (and so were we) but we teased him by putting together – ex tempore – a pretty good argument for it being a hoax. I have no idea how our joke spread from Australia to the rest of the world.

    Got to go with Calvin. After all, look at the candidates we have to choose from: Hilly and Slick Willy vs Trump the Lump. All mentally off-world.

    Wouldn’t Calvin’s detachment from reality get him labeled “autistic” nowadays? Or at least ADHD. They’d probably drug him into a stupor. I think we’re making medical diagnoses and drugging kids nowadays for things that are really just normal childhood behavior.

    Last week was the story about Hobbes getting dragged off by a dog and ending up in Susie’s tea party. I thought I remembered at least one strip where Calvin talks to Hobbes about it afterward; Hobbes tells Calvin why he stayed at the tea party and didn’t try to escape. Or was that another story that comes later?

    I was sure of this when I was Calvin’s age.

    Still fairly certain in some school districts…

    Ah! From the original Commie Manifesto, ISN-666. Spreading the word of truth and justice and fanning the flames of discontent.

    I see this all the time in adults called “paranoid schizophrenic”. But perhaps they have merely retained their age-six imaginations?
