Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 01, 1990
Transcript:
Calvin: On the one hand, it's a good sign for us artists that, in this age of visual bombardment from all media, a simple drawing can provoke and shock viewers. It confirms that images still have power. On the other hand, my teacher's reactionary grading shows that our society is culturally illiterate and that many people can't tell good art from a hole in the ground. This drawing I did obviously challenges the know-nothing complacency of those who prefer safe, predigested, bucolic genre scenes. My "C-" firmly establishes me on the cutting edge of the avantgarde. Hobbes: Don't you have to wear silly clothes then?

He should repeat all that to the teacher. But without the indignation.

Calvin channels a scary intellectual. Luckily, most of us know he’s not being sincere, right?
(At least, I sincerely hope not.)
