Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 06, 2023

“And if the world doesn’t pay up, I’m sending a collection agency after it.”

Yeah sure. Forget making deals or anything.

Sorry Calvin. You have it backwards. The only reason you exist is to make us happy.

Remember this bold declaration when bedtime rolls around.

Calvin: the first Incel.

Calvin grew up to be a social media influencer.

He may have a point here—after all, he never ASKED to be born!!

And if his parents did get a dog (as Dad wanted), they’d owe HIM care and happiness.

Unfortunately, a lot of kids are being taught that in our schools.

Maybe level ground would work better for cashing in, Calvin.

Don’t spend it all in one place.

Me too, but I’m still waiting for the cash.

Richard Wagner once said something similar. He was a piece of work too.

I suppose that’s better than “checking out”….

So many of those people around today.

Sounds remarkably like my little brother. Reminds of the Eagles song Get Over It.

For your enjoyment

that is if you survive that wagon ride downhill!

Calvin: The prototypical Millennial.

Calvin or Sedgewick. Pick one.

Really enjoy how the philosophy continues even a mayhem approaches.

Make enough to pay your lawyers. You don’t want to get a reputation as a cheat.

This was 30 years ago! Bill, did you have a working crystal ball?

…and so begins many journeys into homelessness and addiction. …or politics.

Sadly Calvin disappeared at the age of 6 after a sledding incident. The world did not give him what he deserved.

Calvin sounds like a politician.

The world only owes you opportunity. What you do with that is up to you.

Sounds like a o c

Calvin loudly proclaimed this in 1993 as he actively participated in every opportunity to make it true.Three decades later, all too often we hear it as a whine from groups who ignore opportunities available to them.

What a picture of today!

Sounds like every other Millennial and Gen-Z.

Calvin = future entitled, radical left, socialist…

Wow, there’s quite a bit of misguided disgust towards younger generations today.

Hunter?

Six years-old in 1993, Calvin, the definitive millennial.

“from now on”? When has Calvin ever NOT had that attitude?

Cash rhymes with crash, and that’s where you’re headed.

flashback! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkfV69SCgok

Don’t hold your breath, Calvin.

This is what a lot of people thought in the 70s. The previous generation had done most of the “heavy lifting” after World War II to get the economy running again. You could still scrape by on a part-time job, if you had to. You could “couch surf” for a few weeks if you lost your apartment. Things are much tougher today for people who “fall off” that ladder to success and the Great American Dream and it’s nobody’s fault but our own.

LOTS of people believe the same thing nowadays… unfortunately.

I’m on board!

To many entitled citizens…

this should be posted as a response to every Karen’s entitled posts on facebook or twitter

Wow, I have seen a Calvin strip bring out the political rants like this one did, saved me a lot of reading time because I just scrolled pass them all.

And in 20 years he’ll demand everyone else pay off his college student loans
