Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 26, 2018

People on Twitter should do what Calvin and Hobbes are doing in the first 3 panels.

It’s just unlucky that everytime Calvin is curious, his parents are never there to see it.

Genesis of Genesis – " And then Calvin said – Let there be Light! "

Calvin must have been expecting a shooting star.

Intimations of Immortality? Or is mortality in this case?

On travelling near the Kansas/Nebraska one clear night where you could see horizon to horizon. When we stopped, got out of the car and turned the lights off, the sky was so brilliant it was scary! My sister-in-law would NOT get out of the car.

As Douglas Adams said, to survive in a universe this size, the one thing you do not need is a sense of proportion.

Wouldn’t it be fantastic to explore those limetless reach’s instead of just fighting amongst ourselves?

I feel like that sometime, too, Calvin.

All the stars indeed. It’s reckoned that there are more stars in the Universe than there are grains of sand on the Planet Earth. THAT’S something to consider…

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the intrepid Spaceman Spiff. His continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no other six year old has gone before.

And spoil the moment? Must be a city dweller.

Calvin can only take his “Infinite Blackness” in small doses!

Is this the same boy that toboggans into the chasm of death?

Calvin, with the new binoculars your dad got you, you can see Uranus.

People from before only had the stars and the moon as light and guidance. Now there’s so much light on the ground, it reflects on the sky and you can barely see the stars anymore.

The house lights don’t make me feel insignificant.

It finally dawned on Calvin that the universe doesn’t revolve around him!

It is a moving experience to think of all the photons being put out by all those stars, radiating out into space “uselessly” leaving just a few photons left striking my retina safe to look at. And I may be one of the only few intelligent beings (if I do say so myself) to appreciate those stars at the moment I’m looking at them. But now it’s summer and I’m rarely out past dark.

The stars, beutiful

Calvin gets it.

“I’M SIGNIFICANT!”, cried the dust speck

Run Calvin Run, The universe is much wider than your view of it.

What, no making a wish?

You will be lucky to see on a clear night without the moon and no other light sources somewhere in the number of 4,500 to 5,200 stars in any hemisphere.

That should be hurtling through space, not hurling.

I like the third panel where both the friends are looking at gross sky with stars aptly drawn by Bill Waterson.
