Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes has been a worldwide favorite since its introduction in 1985. The strip follows the richly imaginative adventures of Calvin and his trusty tiger, Hobbes. Whether a poignant look at serious family issues or a round of time-travel (with the aid of a well-labeled cardboard box), Calvin and Hobbes will astound and delight you.

Too bad many people feel the same way.

But it probably isn’t much fun to the stars because they are responsible for the actions of all.
Now that I got used to the new format, I think it is really good.

It would be wonderful, not to be responsable for ones actions!

The fault is not in our stars, but in ourselves.

Be it Calvin or movie stars, “responsibility” is not in their vocabulary.

…..and I’ll add, “while others think certain people are responsible for everything”.

Bill Watterson knows that Jean-Paul Sartre would disagree vehemently. Calvin is in bad faith by denying his freedom to the stars!

So irresponsible to be responsible

My lucky star was busted for DUI and my lucky number was disconnected. I don’t know which way to turn anymore.

I wonder if Mom and Dad will buy that excuse Calvin. I doubt it.

@Desultory, hear hear.
Combine this with today’s Broom Hilda and we’re getting somewhere.

Relying on his conscience, Calvin would have been a nervous wreck a long time ago.

Hobbes doesn’t have to blame the stars. He blames Calvin’s immagination.

Jaws2z: I recommend turning left. (and to all; remember, 6 wrongs make a right)

yesterday’s poll results are in and……………..
5 voted for new,
6 voted for old.
most of the ones for old were just because of the 7 day old strips.

Once every few minutes, we all need a little vacation from being “responsible” …

Thank you ninmas.

Funny that other than the sun, the next closest star is about 4 light years away. That means whatever we are seeing is from the past, but somehow tells the future!

Explains why the world is so hysterical!

If none of us were responsible for our actions, then I guess it’s okay to steal, lie, kill etc. Hey! I’m not responsible for hurting you!

I really hope there aren’t any children reading this.

Calvin’s method actually works.
I believe in a divine Creator because it gets me off the hook for acting so stupid.
grammahotsho said, 5 months ago
Any excuse will do? I don’t think people act stupid because they believe in God - they act stupid because they don’t.

Yes, Hobbes, YOU are determining my destiny RIGHT NOW……well, at least my right-now destiny.
DrYDino said, 5 months ago
Well, whatdayaknow, Calvin must be a card carrying left wing liberal with a victim mentality. It’s amazing that he just summarized the core value of the Democratic Liberal mantra in one comic strip!
Stuart Gathman said, 5 months ago
Did it ever occur to anyone that while the Stars / God might be responsible for our circumstances, *we* are responsible for our actions?
serenasakitty said, 5 months ago
I’d take responibility for that but my horoscope said not to.
Yukoner said, 5 months ago
Being unable to choose “the good” all the time, I am in need of either an excuse or forgiveness. Only one of these ends in the good.

@TheInquisitor and @RidingRat:
Extra credit if you can tell us where the quote came from AND quote it correctly. :) You may use Google. (LOL)
Actually, I’m pretty sure you can do this from memory, but I’m just checking.

If it was George Clooney banging on my door, I’d have my arms around him in a NY minute. Now, if only my stars would plot that destiny for me!!!!
