Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 23, 1990
June 22, 1990
June 24, 1990
Transcript:
Dad: It's getting dark, Calvin. Time to come in and go to bed! Calvin: But Hobbes and I were catching fireflies. Can't we stay out a little longer? Dad: Ha! First you didn't want to go out, and now you don't want to come in! See, by not watching TV, you had more fun, and now you'll have memories of something real you did, instead of something fake you just watched. Calvin: Nothing spoils fun like finding out it builds character.

I wish I had more moments like that
But only a few more. I preferred staying inside and playing games most of the time :P

āCharacter Buildingā, like a Double-Edged Sword. Careful you donāt accidentally create a Villain (or worse, a Monsterā¦) while trying to build a Hero, or at the very least a Normal Personā¦

When Calvin grows up, heāll thank his dad for the fact that he didnāt grow up to become as boring a person as Jon Arbuckle.

If having fun builds character, Calvinās just loaded with it. Unfortunately, Calvinās definition of fun usually coincides with othersā misery.

Calvinās Dad shouldāve said, āā¦ārather thanā of something fake you just watchedā. It sounds clearer this way.
