A very timely strip for 2023 from more than 30 years ago.
A better way is to save up money. Slowly but surely, I managed to score a PS5 that way!
Too many important decisions to make.
When God was giving out wisdom, he accidentally dropped Calvin’s share on a stuffed tiger.
What Hobbes said. But the REAL trick is recognizing the difference!
Hold fast, and let your parents compromise.
We’ll find out soon enough. Though the meaning of “soon” may be somewhat elastic.
I’m with Cal, but life sometimes doesn’t offer other options.
Yeah, Calvin wants faster results.
In today’s world, Hobbes advice is mostly ignored.
You and a whole lot of other people out there, Calvin!
Holding your breath until you turn blue is a good option.
Sounds like Peggy and Steve in Captain America Civil War. “Compromise when you can. And when you can’t, don’t.”
Biting my tongue ….
“You gotta know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, know when to walk away, know when to run…” Apologies to Kenny Rogers and The Gambler
Great! Now I have an ear worm…
At least Calvin recognizes the concept of what maturity is. That’s the first step.
I wish government would get back to this like it used to be
Throw a temper tantrum?
Wow, what a spot-on observation. I suppose our Congress could use a Hobbes right about now.
Some, though, won’t budge, and they cut their nose off to spite their face‼️
Boebert, MTG and Gaetz need to read this strip this morning
As I am from ‘the generation that refused to grow up’, I get this.
This should be enlarged and engraved in stone and hung above the lectern of every democratic legislative body everywhere.
Nowadays it seems to be scream and whine until everyone around you is sick of you and give in just to shut you up.
Good ol’ Hobbes… the wise one of this duo.
Details, details.
Send this to Washington!
♫I remember when the answers seemed so clear
We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear
It was easy then to tell truth from lies
Selling out from compromise
Who to love and who to hate
The foolish from the wise
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light
Today there is no black or white
Only shades of gray♫
Stay true to your convictions, but maybe not to the point you get convicted.
There are tiger tracks in the snow.
I was expecting Hobbes to make a predation metaphor.
Hey, Cal, get the best of both worlds.
Future Republican Speaker of the House (wannabee).
Wow, it’s like this wisdom was planned to be imparted today.
Never grow up.
Maturity is a journey, not a destination. I think.
