Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 21, 1992
Transcript:
Calvin: I've concluded that nothing bad I do is my fault. Dad: Oh? Calvin: Right! Being young and impressionable, I'm the helpless victim of countless bad influences! An unwholesome culture panders to my undeveloped values and pushes me to maleficence. I take no responsibility for my behavior! I'm an innocent pawn! It's society's fault! Dad: Then you need to build more character. Go shovel the walk. Calvin: These discussions never go where they're supposed to.
