Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
I donât get my email notification for another 3 hours but I kept yesterdayâs so I could get in a bit earlier tonight. This is really good and I donât remember a thing from the original run so itâs all new to me. Where the heck is Dad in all this? So far itâs just been Mom and now Mrs. Wormwood. Poor Dad is missing out!
Calvin, itâs a little hard to think of installing an Ethicator when the designer has no ethics at all.
And hereâs another reason why I like Good Calvin so much: his ability and eagerness to answer questions. That was (and remains) me all over. Hereâs to ENFPs who apply themselves⌠:))
Twinsnake raised a good point. We see Calvin jumping from home to school and back again. Is he imagining his discussion with Hobbes back at the house or is he imagining his presence at school? Or is Watterson leaping us hours ahead to show what happened the next day in school? Or could it be that Calvin is actually in two places at the same time? Either way it is a beautiful exercise in comic humor never utilized by any other artist that I remember.
This is a great play out but things get really fun right about here. And David and Twinsnake, if I remember, that issue is never actually addressed so I guess the belief is that the âgoodâ Calvin is the real one since he is interacting with everyone but I may be mistaken.
I looked this story arc up in one of my Calvin and Hobbes books. I couldnât wait. Want me to tell you all what happens? Nah, I wonât ruin it for you all! :-D
Ah, the Duplicator with the optikonal ethiocator. Works for me!
This arc is a great example of why Wattersonâs a comic genius and why me and the rest of the world miss this strip and are so grateful for these re-runs.
This strip of Calvin the good one versus evil reminds me a TV show on ages ago back in 90âs called Family Matters. Now adult back then teen placed Steve Urkel. Has a personality machine and duplicate himself to a suave guy to win his love of Laura.
âOr could it be that Calvin is actually in two places at the same time?â
That would make Calvin a mass of virtual particles whose wavefunction hasnât collapsed yet, which would explain a lot actually. Schrodingerâs Tiger?
The issue of whatâs real and what isnât is never really resolved in Calvin and Hobbes. If you want Bill Wattersonâs perspective on it, take a look in the tenth anniversary book- thereâs an interesting section about Hobbesâ reality that can be extended to Calvinâs other fantasies.
I donât wait for my email notification to get the comics. The site is on my âfavoritesâ with an icon on the screen. It is almost the first thing I go to when I power up the computer.
JohnDiFool: the very act of observing would have collapsed the wave function immediately. Maybe the duplicator works similar to the transporter on Star Trek. Remember the episode âThe Enemy Withinâ where Captain Kirk gets split into two beings one evil and one good.
Calvin has a good side?!? I thought he was all mischief and living in his own little âitâs all about me!!!â universe! (Which doesnât necessarily make him a completely bad kid ⌠just thoughtless and selfish most of the time.)
Ah, the wonders of an old cardboard box, and the many hours of fun as a kid. What kid (or former kid) out there has never played with one and had many adventures.
The best ones were from large appliance deliveries with double thick walls.
Regardless of the position of the prognosticator indicator, if Calvinâs box experiences an unexpected power surge, what comes out of it will resemble something out of Jim Carreyâs âThe Maskâ. His mother may need hospitalizationâŚ.
Do not give me this bleeep .
Suzie dont like the duplicator
Mom will not like the duplicator.
Mrs Wormwood will miss Calvin.
Dad will have a fit if he thinks hes lost his only Calvin.

Ms. Wormwood is easily fooled.
Calvin has got everything planned except for meals.
whims almost 14 years ago
So is writing âevilâ on the box as one of the arrow positions a fundamental design error, or just a potential user interface issue?

Wait til Susie meets the new Calvin.

@Yukoner Susie will probably be stumped.. ;)
Calvin, nice âgoodâ Calvin you made, can I please have the blueprints of the Duplicator??

Boy is Mrs. Wormwood going to be disappointed when Calvin returns to normal.
Good morning, Marg, Mike & â Lonewolfâ !
Rakkav almost 14 years ago
Youâre up, Grog?
True, Mrs. Wormwood will look back on this short period as âthe Arcadia of my middle ageâ and wonder just why it happened and why it ended.

Welcome back, Marg! I was getting a little oncerned. Hope all is well.

Calvin is a very good actor. But not for long Iâm afraid.

Calvinâs evil side will eventually come out, like Hyde, and take over Calvinâs personna. The evil Calvin will be too strong to resist!

What is mom going to say when she doesnât see the good Calvin hanging out with Hobbes?
This shows what we already know. If Calvin applies himself he could do well at school.
