Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 23, 2012

It’ll only be a paragraph or three.

Calvin may be only six years old, but those are dog years!

A fine short autobiography!

The people at the memory care facility that my 93 year old mother lives at wrote a biography for her that is only one page.

Justin Bieber wasn’t much older than that when he thought we needed both a book AND a movie about his life. (Boy was he wrong!!)

Question asked, answer given, problem presented, solution provided. “The History of Calvin Part 1” would be a good title. Besides, it is sometimes good to be brief.

Hi every one Happy Chinese New Year….the great all things…

I’m sure Calvin will have a lot more to say than that, marg.

The “Noodle incident” alone would take more than one sheet of paper. Our young Calvin has quite the history already.

Calvin has said that he doesn’t remember the first three years of his life. So I guess the first half of the page will be blank.

Excerpt from Dogsniff’s biography/obituary:…….In his later years, he was an avid GoComics poster with friends and/or acquaintances all over the world, who looked up to him as a wise guy.

An autobiography from me would be a bestseller, I think, perhaps I write it down, when I am very old!

@JohnnyDiego: That’s very funny. (Your second comment.)

Be careful what you write. When you are the president people might hold it against you.

Calvin is a realist because at six it will take a whole sheet of paper, death notices are shorter.

One sheet of paper for a 6-year-old – very proportionate and logical indeed :)

Calvin keep writing as you grow older more writing by teachers.

They are famous for being famous, nothing more, nothing less. I prefer never to mention their name so the search counts on their name is reduced. The less they are mentioned, the less famous they become.

“My Life”A study of snow goons and evil baby sitters.By: Calvin

He’s probably omitting a lot of things he did. At least he’s writing his own…unlike most of these stars.

I think mom and dad would think Calvin would need a whole ream of paper, at least they know they would!!

Oh how I wish I could be six again!!!! One sheet of paper doesn’t seem enough for you tho Calvin!

If Calvin used 500 sheets of paper for his autobiography, he’d get ‘reamed’ out by his parents.

@Hobbes,“The Cabin” by SnoopyIs that where William P. Young got his idea for “The Shack”?

Did “My Mother the Car” write an autobiography?

I don’t give a rat’s patootie about that sort of celebrity. In fact, I hardly care much about any Hollywood star, sports great, or the private lives of most politicians. That’s their business.

When I see a tabloid with headline of “What (fill in the blank) doesn’t want you to know”I respect their privacy and not buy the paper.

I don’t remember the names, but someone once published a book entitled “The Accomplishments of Sir (whatever his name was)”When someone bought the book and opened it, they found it was all blank pages!

Your second post is a good comment too!

Love Calvin in that second panel. What a look!

One sheet of paper, now that’s funny.

@puddleglum: I always assumed that The Shack was the autobiography of Shaquille O’Neal.

Popeye had the right perspective on this: “I yam what I yam”….

@ Hobbes: great Peanuts strips. I’m noticing BW had many very similiar storylines to CS and wonder if that was an influence or something else. Any thoughts?

if calvin put every thing hes already done or everything he knows for his age it would be freakin epic

Right, Wenthral. I’ love to read that chapter. And if Calvin includes various alter egos like Spaceman Spiff and Stupendous Man (to name only two) and gets a ghost writer to fill in their backstories, the book may have a great many pages.

the kid’s lived a lifetime in 6 years. And won’t live another 6 the way he’s going.

Perhaps just a Bio, not an Autobiography?

Don´t let yourself down, Calvin: «The journey of a 1,000 miles starts with a single step»! ;)

How many autobiographies has Justin Bieber brought out so far?

He should ask Hobbes to write it as a biography.

“He came. He saw. He didn’t concur.”Close enough?
