Hobbes: Do you think there’s a God? Calvin: Well, somebody’s out to get me! Picture Quote #1

Hold it. You know what I’d like to see? I’d like to see the three bears eat the three little pigs, and then the bears join up with the big bad wolf and eat Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood! Tell me a story like that, OK? Picture Quote #1

But Calvin is no kind and loving god! He’s one of the old gods! He demands sacrifice! Picture Quote #1

Ms. Wormwood: Calvin, can you tell us what Lewis and Clark did? Calvin: No, but I can recite the secret superhero origin of each member of Captain Napalm’s Thermonuclear League of Liberty. Ms. Wormwood: See me after class, Calvin. Calvin: [retrospectively] I’m not dumb. I just have a command of thoroughly useless information Picture Quote #1

CALVIN: When I grow up I want to be an inventor. First I will invent a time machine. Then I’ll come back to yesterday and take myself to tomorrow and skip this dumb assignment Picture Quote #1

CALVIN: This whole Santa Claus thing just doesn’t make sense. Why all the secrecy? Why all the mystery? If the guy exists why doesn’t he ever show himself and prove it? And if he doesn’t exist what’s the meaning of all this? HOBBES: I dunno. Isn’t this a religious holiday? CALVIN: Yeah, but actually, I’ve got the same questions about God Picture Quote #1

You know, sometimes kids get bad grades in school because the class moves too slow for them. Einstein got D’s in school. Well guess what, I get F’s!!! Picture Quote #1

Hey Dad, will you buy me a flame thrower? Of course not. Don’t be silly. Even if I didn’t use it in the house? Picture Quote #1

Life is like topography, Hobbes. There are summits of happiness and success, flat stretches of boring routine and valleys of frustration and failure Picture Quote #1

In the short term, it would make me happy to go play outside. In the long term, it would make me happier to do well at school and become successful. But in the VERY long term, I know which will make better memories Picture Quote #1

Instead of asking what’s wrong with rampant consumerism, we ought to be asking, ‘What justifies it?’ Popular art does not have to pander to the lowest level of intelligence and taste Picture Quote #1

For me, it’s been liberating to put myself in the mind of a fictitious six year-old each day, and rediscover my own curiosity. I’ve been amazed at how one idea leads to others if I allow my mind to play and wander Picture Quote #1

Of course, REAL zombies never get the giggles when they look at each other Picture Quote #1

Like delicate lace, So the threads intertwine, Oh, gossamer web Of wond’rous design! Such beauty and grace Wild nature produces... Ughh, look at the spider Suck out that bug’s juices! Picture Quote #1

We consume everything like potato chips. In this environment, I suspect the cartoonist’s connection with readers is likely to be superficial and fleeting, unless he taps into some fervent special interest niche. And that audience, almost by definition, will be tiny Picture Quote #1

It’s not the medium, but the quality of perception and expression, that determines the significance of art Picture Quote #1

I’m pulling out different aspects of my personality in writing each character and, if I’m doing my job well, I’m being true to the situation and true to the character Picture Quote #1

A playful mind is inquisitive, and learning is fun. If you indulge your natural curiosity and retain a sense of fun in new experience, I think you’ll find it functions as a sort of shock absorber for the bumpy road ahead Picture Quote #1

Selling out is usually more a matter of buying in. Sell out, and you’re really buying into someone else’s system of values, rules, and rewards Picture Quote #1

Calvin: Medically speaking:. That’s love?!?..... Hobbes: Heck, that happened to me once, but I figured it was cooties!! Picture Quote #1

Calvin: I’m a genius. I can’t believe how smart I am. ...I’ve got more brains than I know what to do with. Hobbes: So I’ve noticed Picture Quote #1

My problem is that I don’t paint ambitiously. It’s all catch and release - just tiny fish that aren’t really worth the trouble to clean and cook Picture Quote #1

I say if a novelty Christmas song is funny one time, then it is funny every time. - Calvin Picture Quote #1

Calvin is hammering nails into coffee table.Mom: CALVIN WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THE COFFEE TABLE?!?Calvin: Is this some sort of trick question, or what? Picture Quote #1
