Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 14, 2023

People would actually enjoy hiking away from Calvin.

I can’t wait to see how badly this ends.

I’ve seen the third panel used as a reaction image.

He can try arguing against school assigning homework.

Calvin would have loved the internet and social media.

He’s right about that, anyway…

He could write his debate on the notion that it’s pointless to write a debate.

He’s been watching Trump rally speeches, again!!!

Gosh, this sounds awfully familiar.

Said every dictator ever…..

i’m not. i’m not happy. and if i am not happy then YOU WILL BE SORRY!!!

He should try this out with his mum about bath and bed times, about going to school, or with his dad about his allowance and driving the car…

Methinks Ruben Bolling’s idea to parody “Calvin and Hobbes” as an attack on Donald Trump wasn’t just because of the imaginary but more sensible friend element.

How about arrogance. Calvin can argue in favor of it.

Wonder what name Calvin goes under over at Prickly City.

Calvin has a bright future with the Republican Congress!

And Calvin carried that philosophy well into adulthood, when he changed his name to Donald J. Trump!!

BTW, Trump’s older sister recently passed away. I hope the Orange Baboon will be banned from her funeral, or else he’ll make it all about himself!!

Calvin speaks like a current Presidential candidate.

Kids tend to copy things. He must have copied this from his toxic parents and/or toxic teacher and/or toxic babysitter and/or Stacy Abrams and/or Letitia James.

Hmm…everybody is happy!

Love the Hobbes eye roll…

Calvin must be a member of the party of “tolerance.”

Busy with what?! Your parents are too cheap to buy you video games!

I see the issue here.

He needs to avoid the comments on Non Sequitur

You should try suing your school, Calvin. That way, most of the children at your school would look at you as a superior being.

“We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.” President John F. Kennedy

I agree with Calvin. Why argue with my logic, when you know I’m right?

Fox News commentator in training

Calvin is the new spokesperson for the RNC.

Calvin has to be a Virgo….even when we’re wrong, we’re right!

Sounds like the typical democrat

Not necessarily, Calvin.

Presidential material? Bleah!

That sounds like his topic right there; why he is right any everybody else is wrong

Is he on GC comments?

Isn’t he currently in Congress?

Bill Watterson predicting Twitter echo chambers 20 years in advance

1) Should tigers be allowed to pounce on young boys?

2) Should a man be allowed to keep his position of “Father”, when his Poll Numbers are so low?

3) Should the School’s investigation of “The Noodle Incident” be allowed to continue, even though there is no evidence whatsoever suggesting a specific individual was responsible?

Next day Calvin got an acceptance letter from Harvard.

It looks to me like he could make a strong case for apathy. :)

Yeah.. life is your way or no way. The corporate ladder is meant for you, fella.

I’m not necessarily in the “I’m right and you’re wrong” crowd, I find that more often than not someone having a different opinion from mine is harmless enough. But I do agree completely with the second panel. Debate, especially private debates that are not going to reach enough people to have any chance of shifting public opinion, is hardly ever a worthwhile use of time. When I do get drawn into one, usually on the Internet and occasionally on this very site, the resulting feeling is usually comparable to what I’d get after drinking too much or eating large amounts of junk food.

State your opinion. Make the opposition point of view 3 or 4 nonsense syllables. Your argument for yours can be, “The opposing argument makes no sense,”

There you go, Calvin. Keep repeating that and soon you will get some people who will actually believe you. Eventually you will get enough people who will help you overthrow a democracy and set up your own dictatorship. Hail Calvin!

How about this?

Reunite Pangea! Stop continental drift now!

Case closed.

Except for the neglected pencil.

Sounds like everyone on Twitter!

Yes, I am with Hobbes here.

He either missed the point, or he understands it all too well. Discuss.

Wow… Calvin was way ahead of his time….. a woke snowflake… ;-)
