    Calvin was doing it way before Jim from the Office made it cool haha

    Feels like something that would've worked much better as the throwaway gag in a Sunday strip, but maybe Watterson hoped the art could kinda save it.

    Also, I kinda think Calvin might've come around on being a vegetarian, considering his fondness for animals. Or maybe a pescatarian like Hobbes...

    This may be one of the weakest jokes in the whole history of the strip.

    And yet it’s exactly the joke that a snarky little kid would say.

    Agreed. Bill definitely phoned this one in.

    Still the one that each (and I mean it) time I get confronted with vegetarians comes to my mind. Since approx. 20 years. Burnt into my brain.

    It's also weirdly trying to start drama? Like, it's not like anyone would ever have a gluten-free steak. Sometimes meals just don't have certain ingredients?

    Okay I’ve noticed this thing on the internet lately where people end statements with question marks. What’s going on there?

    Maybe it's my internal Canadian, because mentally would equate it to "eh?"it's me saying what I think, but not wanting to come off as if it's some fact - I'm just sharing my preliminary views and am open to agreement or disagreement. Does that make sense?

    That makes sense for the most part. Thanks.

    It's not. Nowadays, it always makes me think of that one South Park episode where some parents forced their son to be vegetarian, and once he got the slightest bit of self-esteem, he secretly bought himself a sausage^^.

    Of course that's not Calvin's situation, but a lot of the jokes work in a out-of-context way. And it's an ongoing joke that "what's good for you" is mostly the opposite of "what kids (like Calvin) really like".

    It's one of the weakest C&H in context, but it's also one of the ones which is easiest for people who don't follow the strip to understand.

    The glance to the camera strips always hit so hard

    Last one. A bit funny that it's one of the few slightly disliked strips.

    There needs to be a change to how much a handful of people can police the freedom of many others to express and exchange art.

    I always loved that snarky ass line Calvin gives at the end.

    This sub always messes with me when it pops up in my feed because I’m also in r/okbuddyrosalyn and I have to buffer trying to find a shitpost in an original strip

    Worst Calvin & Hobbes strip. There, I said it.

    Still beats Family Circus, but that isn't saying much.
