Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 17, 2015
Transcript:
Hobbes: You're trading the earth for 50 alien tree leaves?! Calvin: I'll have the coolest project in the class! Calvin: And best of all, now we don't need to waste any more time on this! The aliens are doing all the work! We can goof off the rest of the day! Hobbes: But then the aliens take over earth. Calvin: Well it's not like the grow ups have done such a bang-up job.

Calvin could have at least asked for some fauna to go along with the flora.

Yeah, the grownups make you eat green slimy stuff like (uggghh) vegetables.

You should have branched out more, Calvin. I mean, a whole world. That could be worth at least a pizza, too, and maybe a PB&J sandwich. And I know Hobbes would have liked some tuna. Expand your negotiating horizons, kiddo!

Calvin isn’t really a Big Picture kind of guy.

I think Calvin is dreaming of this. The leaf project is really bearing down on him. He will then wake up to the reality of this world …

That is, until the aliens learn, a) that Calvin is NOT the supreme Earth potentate, andb) about our legal system…

You forgot to add:
[interminably long sequencer solo]
Actually, that was probably a good song to end the 1960s rock “renaissance”. The sequencer solo showed the encroaching artificiality of rock corporatism, to be broken through (temporarily) with Keith Moon’s drumming, and then finally the scream.

Calvin and Stewie Griffin from Family Guy would be rivals. It would be World War III with those two!

@LeadingEdge You’ve been flagged!
Coming out of lurking to ponder why anyone would flag Leading Edge. I read all the posts from yesterday and today again, and I don’t see anything remotely worthy of being flagged. Perhaps something has been deleted in the meantime, but from the reactions of others on the site, it seems not. It’s a mystery why anyone would flag him…
