Calvin, this is Hobbes—not Andy Capp!! He pulls his weight around the household—namely, occupying your time and keeping you out of your parents’ hair. He’s also your inspirational muse.
So, he’s entitled to just “lie around” and recharge his own batteries from time to time.
This reminds me of the “Great Resignation” that occurred as a result of the 2019 Pandemic. It seems a lot of folks realized life was too short to waste it.
I have been retired now for several years. Looking back, most of the stuff that would get everyone’s knickers tied in a knot was BS. Particularly “Spreadsheets? Spreadsheets!, We don’t need no Stinking Spreadsheets!!!” – A riff from the “Treasure of Sierra Madre”

I was born in the year of the Tiger and I agree with Hobbes: if you have to run to get there, I’m not going.

We are racing, trying to outrun the trials of the past and the threats of the future. It might be better to be a tiger.

Hobbes should remind Calvin of this conversation the next time Calvin is vacantly staring, open-mouthed and drooling, at the television.
