Either Calvin can read his watch by starlight, in which case his night vision is better than that of Hobbes….OR….his watch uses radioactive paint, in which case he may want to sue his parents in 50 years.
Do you believe there are other forms of life in the vast universe who are far more intelligent than we are? I do, and I believe the reason the haven’t invaded Earth is because they know it isn’t worth the effort.
My favorite panel in the entire strip has Calvin, after yet another one of his usual disappointments/disillusionments, spending the entire night ranting & railing against the entire universe.
Ahh yes, the days before On-Demand, Streaming, Youtube, and other immediate gratification of the desire for mindless entertainment.
Yes, young boys and girls, one used to have to know when the show you wanted to watch was actually being broadcast on TV. And there were only a few channels of broadcast TV there to watch.
At least Calvin lives in the days after the invention of the VCR, so he could watch tapes when/if he can convince someone to rent him a movie (not likely if you are a minor and like B-movies).
