Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 22, 2022

Your Mother is master of her universe and your universe.

Not always, she probably predicted Calvin would be more normal when he was born.

Your life is being controlled by forces, Calvin. They’re called adults.

I pray, my prayers would be heard and this horrible war will have an end!!

Mom’s the word

There’s a website called FunTrivia that has about 20 quizzes on this strip.

Amazing how much I DIDN"T know about it!!

The stars foretold a watery end.

I wonder if scientists have figured out one of life’s sweet mysteries; what is inside our DNA genes that in 10 years time when Calvin is about 16 years old that something changed inside makes us wish that our horoscopes would read that Susie will kiss us today instead of reading Susie will kick us in the shins today?

So in the fourth panel, you’re suffering from reverse “Invictus”, Calvin?

And that’s a good thing, too.

Dodged one bullet, Calvin should be content with that.

Moms are closer to home than the stars.

Welcome to reality, kid.

The stars have far less reach and impact on you than moms’ hands. Remember that even when you become a father.

Hobbs’ logic and reasoning is what permits Calvin’s flight of fantasy into that world of his.

You should know the moon ALWAYS favors the feminine.

It’s outrageous how much Susie and Calvin flirt!

A kick in the shins is a sure sign a 6 year old girl is in love

For a real scientific study, read your horoscope from six different soures and try to strike an average.

A “good” horoscope feature gives generalized advice. I just scan through all the signs until I find some applicable advice and decide to have a, let’s say, Sagittarius day.

Interesting how the word “zooming” has changed.

I love how pleased with himself he is over the worm and the shins-kick.

But spare a thought for Susie. I can’t think of a single time she’s provoked Calvin, yet she’s constantly being abused because he’s hung up over all manner of obscure nonsense that no one other than he and Hobbes have a prayer of understanding.

At Calvin’s age, Susie hitting him etc., is a sign she likes him.

“I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul.”

I doubt your mom’s horoscope says she’ll have to deal with a problem that has no solution until it’s 18.

Calvin’s just too young to understand those horoscopes. And he’s too young to be the master of his own fate, too.

Careful. She brought you into this world and she can take you out of it.

Mother is the centre of universe. Father is the fringe border of gravity.

When you sure six year old, Mother is the centre of universe. Father is the fringe border of gravity.
