Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 07, 2015
Transcript:
Hobbes: you're going to juggle eggs? Calvin: It's a metaphor for life. Hobbes. Calvin: each egg represents one of life's concerns and the goal is to five each the appropriate amount of individual attention while simultaneously watching and guiding all the others. Calvin: Life is about balance and staying quick and alert as everything threatens to spin out of control! Hobbes: And sometimes we make a big mess of things. Calvin: but the important thing is persistence

There was this old strip in Zap Comix (yes folks, they spelled it that way in the 60s), where these two dudes go on stage, then bomb, get pelted with all kinds of food, which is what they intended to do in the first place and have a feast (yum, b’loney sanwidge )

Having raised kids who did silly stuff like this, it is much funnier seeing it happen to someone else. I was furious at the time.

I’m not sure if there is a moral to today’s strip; but for sure, there appears to be a bit of a morass…

Mark Twain:Behold, the fool saith, “Put not all thine eggs in the one basket” — which is but a manner of saying, “Scatter your money and your attention”; but the wise man saith, “Put all your eggs in the one basket and — watch that basket!”

With so many eggs to balance, perhaps that explains why my own life is so scrambled.

It’s also important to remember that life is a fragile as those eggs… as you will soon discover when your mom finds the mess you made in the living room.

The important thing is to clean up that mess before Mom see’s it and elects to play kick the can with your butt.

I think Calvin is the mixed up kid in this one. He’d better scramble before Mom (or Dad) see his yoke. They might not see the sunny side of his efforts.
