Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 03, 2019

Calvin is mature enough to realize how immature he is.

And today’s political comment bonfire is lit…

What dangerous thing does Calvin want now?

Is this one that was “Trump-faced” during the campaign? It should’ve been, and couldn’t have come up at a better time.

Never ask a wise tiger for an opinion you don’t want to hear!

This should be sent to trump

I know so many adults who agree with Calvin in the last frame. Some people grow up, others just get older.

Hobbes speaks volumes in just a few words.

Growing up is optional, growing old is mandatory.

Hobbes’ scarf if the coolest comic strip article of clothing in history. Just ask him.

Promises were made to be broken, and compromises… um… weren’t?

We should never negotiate out of fear, but we should never fear to negotiate – JFK.

Can we make Calvin an adviser to the president?

And the wisdom to know the difference.

Calvin is too young to realise that maturity is not an option.

“I’d rather be happy than right.” “Are you happy?” “No that’s where it all falls down”- hitchhiker’s guide.

If one side wants to do something stupid, and the other side says no. Compromise will result in doing something half-stupid.

This strip originally appeared on January 5, 1989. (I checked in a Calvin and Hobbes archive). GoComics is re-printing these in chronological order and did not cherry pick this strip for its seeming appropriateness to current affairs.

This is just a: 1) cosmic coincidence, and 2) a tribute to Bill Watterson’s ability to capture human traits. His body of work should be one for the ages.

Build it.

This should be sent to Pelosi and Schumer

The wall might work provided there are no shovels, ladders, or boats. The wall is a very expensive illusion of safety from all those toddler criminals coming across the boarder. In fact, it would take a pretty stupid criminal to present themselves at the border where their record would automatically disqualify them, when they can just anchor a boat off shore and swim in, dig under any wall that’s built, or buy a ladder one foot taller than however high they can build the wall.

Maturity is the first sign of dementia.

Yesterday I mentioned metro KS, I did not mention where in KS. Oh and that snow day for kids, due to the ground being warm, kids did have fun but ended early as the snow melted. Also location I live as we are not affected by the weather OK is receiving of ice.

176!

Did Calvin grow up to advise Donny trump?

Technology is the answer, not a luddite wall. Just trumpeting “border security” doesn’t make it right. Or is logic too hard for you trumpers?

Everyone knows the best way is to just do it or get it. Easier to do that and ask for forgiveness than to ask and risk being refused.

Who is it that refuses to back down? Pelosi and Schumer! They won’t even support what they themselves said a few years ago?? Have they never heard “e-mails and recordings are forever”? Just ask Hillary.

I’ve noticed that one of the complications of the Trump derangement syndrome is that we go a couple of weeks without anybody saying much about President Trump. Then all of the sudden it explodes and people start spouting nonsense and incoherent opinions. I hope the CDC can find a treatment.

I think you should need to get a license to prove you deserve to have an opinion. I can imagine millions of Americans who could not qualify.

Talk about this strip foretelling the future!
