Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 26, 2022

When Saturday mornings had a purpose.

You’ll have to wait for life on that too, Calvin. Food is happiness. Ask Garfield.

Creatively, it’s a comic wasteland today

Maybe some peanut butter crackers, but replace the peanut butter with horseradish; that’ll wake Calvin up for sure.

The zombie tube

well at least the TV is excited and flouncing about.

A lot of that going around.

Many of the cartoonists are commemorating Charles Shultz who drew the Peanuts strip… today is his 100th birthday. Besides the fact that Watterson is not drawing fresh strips, he really didn’t need to do anything because Calvin and Hobbes is a tribute to Peanuts in and of itself.

The idea is that we’re all supposed to “pursue” happiness, not lay around waiting for it to come to us.

It’s amazing how many people try to kill time, but time just keeps marching on.

It’s no way to avoid existential nausea.

I’ll take a life without chronic anxiety.

Starting on Sertralin today.

I always love how Calvin’s TV has a life of its own.

How about a bag of “Peanuts”??

When I step into the shower, I feel happy

Sometimes, I think the more comfortable you are the less meaning life has. Ironic, no?

Love the Hobbes eye-roll there!

Or not…

Growing up in Northeast , Ohio, we loved the Saturday morning cartoons. We raided the frig, ate cold pizza and Rice Krispies! ☺️☺️

I hate to tell you, Calvin: the meaning of life is to run as fast as you can to stay in one place, but we never succeed.

Easily a Top Ten all-time Calvin and Hobbes strip.

And by “life” he means you.

Hobbes’s subtle way of telling Cavin… ’It’s going to be a long wait."

Considering all the Peanuts accolades today, I’m reminded of the Peanuts kids on the bean bag chair within inches of a large furniture style television set.

Saturdays belonged to the World of Sid and Marty Kroft!!! Pure genius on drugs!!!

This doesn’t totally define ‘Generation Z’. Just the ones our lazy corporatist media think are worth covering. The young people of today doing anything worthwhile are probably too busy to worry if they are getting attention.

That TV jumping into the air gets me every time….

Must be hard to eat with a “silver spoon” in your mouth.

Life will only ever have whatever meaning you give it.

‘’Here, a P-nut butter and kosher pickle sandwich, enjoy!’’

Happiness is a warm puppy, Calvin. Happy 100th Birthday to Charles Shultz.

Don’t wait for someone to give you a shower, Calvin.

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown …

I call it a “mental health day”, no cooking or housework.

Hope Hobbes gets him a raw cut of some ruminant. Should get his energy levels up.
