It is absolutely bizarre how a strip written 35 years ago speaks so eloquently about current political machinations. As long as we donât have to start calling Hobbes âRudyâ, I suppose itâs okay.
Iâve just had a look at the comments made yesterday including answers to some of my comments.
I see that someone referred to âthe incontinent toad mysteryâ as an unsolved Sherlock Holmes mystery âalong with the Giant Rat of Sumatraâ. In âThe Adventure of the Sussex Vampireâ, Holmes refers to âthe Giant Rat of Sumatraâ but not as one of his unsolved mysteries. He says that it is one which the world is not yet ready for.
Doctor Watson makes reference to three unsolved mysteries which are recorded in his memoirs and one of these refers to âa remarkable worm unknown to medical scienceâ which is probably the case that yesterdayâs commentator was thinking of.
Iâm with Hobbes here. If the tiger has to defend the âpotentialâ property rights of Calvin he should be entitled to half of the proceeds, or first choice of 20%. Gad, I sound like a shark myself.
The last time Calvin referred to the US Constitution to back up his position, heâd been sick for a week. It was during summer vacation, and when he got better he reminded his mom that he would be allowed to go back to school a week late, so he would get his full allotment of vacation time. Needless to say, that argument didnât fly either. Youâre going to be 0 for 2, Calvin.
Opposing lawyer: 1) An offer of a gift is not binding. Plaintiff has no right to gifts from Santa. 2) Plaintiff may have the right to attempt to acquire property through legal means. However, neither the Constitution nor {the state where Calvin lives} grants the right to succeed in attempts to acquire property. The due process clause that Plaintiff asserts does not apply.

They say âInnocent till proven guiltyâ. For Calvin, itâs the other way around.

The charges attributable to Calvin would occupy a very substantial file . And he is only six .

We already saw denial and anger.
Now we see bargaining.

Delivering legal paperwork like subpoenas to Santa would be challenging. With flying reindeer, he doesnât need roads.

Santa lives outside the US, and is therefore not bound by the US Constitution.

A legal pad? Calvin, in your case youâre going to need to give him a couple of boxes of legal pads!

Hobbes is thinking a big retainer is much more lawyerlike than just a legal pad.
