Calvin and Hobbes

John Calvin (1509-1564) was a 16th-century French Protestant theologian. Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) was a 17th-century English political philosopher. Some MuseBloggers have become interested in their ideas and have requested a thread on which to discuss them.

Just kidding! We know about Bill Watterson’s comic strip “Calvin and Hobbes” and love it as much as you do. Here’s a place for you to talk about Snow Goons, propellor beanies, G.R.O.S.S., and other memorable parts of Calvin’s world.

GAPAs, could you add Calvin and Hobbes to the thread?
Yay!

Got that out of my system. So now, onto the subject of C&J…

Yay! and now, an exciting new thing… CALVIN AND HOBBES SSSS

(Calvin) Some people are pragmatists, taking things as they come and making the best choices available. Some people are idealists, standing for principle and refusing to compromise. And some people just act on any whim that enters their heads.
(Hobbes) Gee, I wonder which you are.
(Calvin) I pragmatically turn my whims into principles!

(Rosalyn) Okay Calvin, listen up.
(Calvin) AAA! No! I’m not going to bed! You can’t make me!
(Rosalyn) You and I are going to make a deal.
(Calvin) A deal?! What kind of deal?! I’m not making any deal!
(Rosalyn) You don’t give me any trouble tonight, and we’ll play a game.
(Calvin) What’s the game?! “Kill the kid”?! No way!
(Rosalyn) plus, you get to stay up half an hour past your bedtime.
(Calvin) Notice how obediantly I’m sitting here.

Sooner or later I’ll continue the segment. Where do you think Calvin lives? Gwyn and I think he lives somewhere in maine, but that’s just us.

His house is “by the giant letter E in the word ‘States'” (reference the storyline where they go to Mars): therefore, he must live somewhere back East, but probably not as far as the coast. Perhaps one of the Great Lakes states.

(5, 8 ) Watterson lives in Ohio (not far from Ultimate Supreme Executive Chairman Grant O., I believe). We know Calvin lives in a place that gets lots of snow, so Ohio would fit — though, of course, other places near the second “E” also have snowy winters.

(Calvin) I’m growing my fingernails long. Then, I’ll file them into points so that I have claws, just like you.
(Hobbes) Mine are retractable.
(Calvin) No retractable claws, no opposable toes, no prehensile tail, no fangs, no wings… *sigh*

(Calvin) Mom, can I learn how to parachute out of an airplane?
(Mom) Why don’t you just go play ‘chicken’ on the railroad tracks? It would be a cheaper way to toy with death, I’m sure.
(Calvin) Mom’s so practical.

CALVIN AND HOBBES!I LOVE them!

Calvin: DAD, I WANT A BEDTIME STORY!
Dad: I’m busy Calvin. I’ll read you one tomorrow.
Calvin: IF YOU DON’T READ ME A STORY, I WON’T GO TO BED!
Dad: Once upon a time there was a boy named Calvin who alway wanted things his way. One day his day got sick of it and locked him in the basement for the rest of his life Everyone else lived happily ever after. The End.
Calvin: I don’t like these stories with morals.

Mom: Leave the thermostat alone Calvin.
Calvin: I can almost see my breathe. I’ll just crank it up to 75, OK?

Calvin-Now I’m looking for a page one lead story. Can I interview you?
Mom-Sure.
Calvin- OK, what are you cutting up there for dinner?
Mom-Fish.
Calvin-KNIFE WIELDING MOTHER HACKS ICHTHYOID! GRIM MELEE IS EVENING RITUAL! SUBURBAN FAMILY DEVOURS VICTIM!

(Calvin) IMAGINARY NUMBERS?!

The husband of our choir director knew Bill Watterson as a kid. In fact, he’s on the acknowledgments page in the Authoritative C&H. One of Brad’s stories about him was that a friend of theirs had a large chalkboard in their basement, and Bill Watterson wrote a poem on it that took up all the space. It was never erased, even when they sold the house. Of course, the new owners may have erased it, but who knows?

I like the strip when Calvin and Hobbes are playing “war” and when they both shoot each other they figure out what a stupid game it really is. I’ll have to dig it up and post it.

(Calvin) Mom, can I have a cigarette?
(Mom) Sure, Calvin. I think your grandfather left some here. Just smoke outside, OK?
(Calvin) [thinking] Wow!
(Hobbes) Your mom let you have a cigarette?
(Calvin) For a mom, she’s pretty cool.
(Calvin) *inhales* *EEEEEP*
(Calvin) BLAAUGH! *gag* *cough* *hack*
(Hobbes) You’d think this would be an easy habit to break.
(Calvin) *wheeze* *ack*
(Mom) Well now… Did we learn a little lesson today?
(Calvin) *gasp* …Yes…
(Calvin) Trusting parents can be hazardous to your health.

I like the strips like that; they actually have a message but are still funny.

“As far as I’m concerned, if something is so complicated that you can’t explain it in 10 seconds, then it’s probably not worth knowing anyway.”

That should be my motto or something. -hangs it on my wall-

(Calvin): I used to hate writing assignments, but now I enjoy them. I realized that the purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure poor reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog! Want to see my book report?
(Hobbes): (Reading Calvin’s paper) “The Dynamics of Interbeing and Monological Imperatives in Dick and Jane: A Study in Psychic Transrelational Gender modes.”
(Calvin): Academia, here I come!

That is so the kind of thing I would do.

Calvin: I wonder if you can refuse to inherit the world.

I wanna have a T-shirt that says that.

Teacher: Who would like to summarize what we just read? Calvin, how about you?

Calvin: Sorry! I’m here against my will. I refuse to cooperate. They can transport my BODY to school, but they can’t chain my SPIRIT! My spirit roams free! Walls can’t confine it! Laws can’t restrain it! Authority has no power over it!

Teacher: Calvin, if you’d put half the energy of your protests into your school work……..

Calvin: You can try to leave a message, but my spirit screens its calls.

The Far Side is nice, but not as nice as Calvin and Hobber.

My tiger. it seems, is running round nude.
This fur coat must have made him perspire.
It lies on the floor- should this be construed
As a permanent change of attire?
Perhaps he considers its colors passe.
Or maybe it fit him too snug.
Will he want it back? should I put it away?
Or use it right here as a rug?

Also, the one where Calvin and Hobbes think there are monsters under the bed and Calvin arms himself with a dart gun, and Hobbes starts making noise with the honker. And CD bangs open the door and goes, “WHAT’S ALL THIS NOISE?” and Calvin goes “Aieee!” and shoots the dart gun at him and then CD goes, well I don’t remember. But .. *makes self laugh*

END OFFICIAL STATEMENT

I can see why some people would like Garfield, since about one comic in every collection is funny, but Fred Basset is a different story. How is it possible that anyone can like it who is less that 60 years old?
Anyway, I love Calvin, and I have officially read EVERY SINGLE CARTOON. I know this because we own the complete Calvin and Hobbes hardback set and I read through the entire thing in about 3 or 4 days.

Calvin is eating dinner.

Calvin: Blecchhh

Calvin’s food comes to life.

Dinner: To be??or not to be? *sigh* That is the question. Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune…or to take arms against a sea of troubles…and by opposing, end them?

The dinner stabs itself with a fork.

Dinner: To die; to sleep; – no more! And by sleep to say we end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to… *sniff* ’tis a consummation devoutly to be wished! To die, to sleep! To sleep, perchance, to dream: Ay, there’s the rub! …For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come when we have shuffled off the mortal coil may give us pause.

*Silence*

Dinner: FEELINGS, wo,wo,wo

Calvin’s mom: You finished that right up! Did you like it?

Calvin: Let’s not have this ever again.

One of my favorite C&H quotes:

My friends and I invented a game called Calvinball, but its not like the game in the comic book- it actually has a few rules. There’s a defensive team and an offensive team. The offensive team stands on a street corner and tries to use hockey sticks, howdy horses, water pistols, or any bat-like object to bat a beachball into the street. The defensive team tries to bat it away from the street. When we played it, the offensive team was called the seven deadly sins. They were the ones with the howdy horses.

154 – Interesting, can I play?

Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery.

So true…

Calvin’s Mom: Those are, um, peculiar bones.
Calvin: So do you think I should ask for more money?

Hobbes: So are we still going to sell it/ them / something else?
Calvin: Not at full price, anyway.

So, today I had a pretty stressful day, and when I came home, the first thing I thought was, paraphrasing C+H: “Somedays, even my fingerless gloves don’t help.”

I was re-reading the “There’s Treasure Everywhere” book, and I found a strip I’d completely forgotten about, where Calvin is an astronaut landing on the moon. He uses the moon rover to write “Calvin Is Great” across the face of the moon in script. Then the strip shows him in his house, looking at the moon and sighing.

Calvin: “I wish I could go to the moon.”
Dad: “I wish you could, too.”
Mom: “Dear…”

I love that book.

Yesterday at sailing they were talking about starboard and port…

“See? I was right! Starboard is right! Port is left!”

I was just reading the Calvin and Hobbes tenth anniversary book. If you’ve got it, go and read the forewords. It’s very sad. Bill Watterson has very high ideals, to the point of sounding a little high and mighty at times, but he’s right about the comics being cheapened. I liked the early strips better, which were not so wordy. No six-year-old I know uses such big words as Calvin. The best essence of the strip is when Calvin is doing normal kid things. Things that sound like fun, that I always want to do, but I know in real life it won’t be as fabulous.
