   One would hope not, Calvin….

   Thank goodness one of them is ecology conscious…..or maybe just conscious.

   What a lonely place to be with a stuffed toy…Calvin is practically all alone!

   A whole planet to yourself would seem dull to me. So where are the martians at?

   Yukoner said, 14 days ago

   Calvin, two thoughts ….

   “Every litter bit hurts.”

   “Don’t be a litter bug, be a big one.”

   Lonely? Calvin is never alone as long as Hobbes is along!!!

   WoodEye said, 14 days ago

   Hobbes isn’t a stuffed toy! He only appears to be one to adults… like you!

   Where’s Iron Eyes Cody when you need him?

10. 

    Johanan Rakkav said, 14 days ago

    Well, they’ve got the IRON anyway, Mars is covered with iron oxide…I wonder if it’s enough to make the planet commercially viable to an advanced spacefaring civilization?

    Calvin, you might want to get your grubstakes in early here!

    Re the first panel - Calvin could be talking about the choclate bar…

    Won’t his folks be missing him? Don’t they care?

    It may be impossible to have zero pollution on a planet with human life.

    Herocoder said, 14 days ago

    well .. you are not finding a litter box for sure in new planet as well .. think abt that??

    Lewreader said, 14 days ago

    Didn’t Edgar Rice Burroughs put enough creatures on Mars?

18. 

    jrbj said, 14 days ago

    Kalulu, take out the “may be” and insert “is”. We’ll either simply pollute our planet into extinction or, worse, decide we can manage it better than nature can. Same result either way.

    I wish all of those silly animals would stop polluting the earth with their carcasses all along the roadside.

20. 

    Macushlalondra said, 14 days ago

    I hope they can get home as easily as they got to Mars. They’re gonna run out of food at some point.

    ninmas said, 14 days ago

    20 years later: it’s as polluted as earth…..

    I’m glad to see Calvin & Hobbes back in the comic section

23. 

    BC13 said, 14 days ago

    Well they gotta decide on some place to put the trash dump. Why not there?

24. 

    Fer Lefer said, 14 days ago

    No map, no food, but ecological care. Not bad for a tiger who appears to be stuffed to grown ups. I’m lucky I NEVER grew up…

    Stede_Bonnet said, 14 days ago

    Think how much nicer things would be today if the first settlers in N. America had Hobbes to remind them of their responsibilities. Do you think America would still be populated by the bunch of lazy, inconsiderate louts that we have today? Yeah, I know… probably wouldn’t have made a difference. Those early settlers would have just stuck Hobbes in a Zoo and then buried it under a pile of discarded beer cans and consumer electronics.

    is there a cracker barrel restaurant there?

    i’m sure that C&H would like to have a good meal

    Just keep each other honest, you’ll be fine.

    one of the things i loved about this strip – and there are many – was its environmental message back in the day when it wasn’t exactly fashionable to raise the issue.

    grazer said, 14 days ago

    Here’s your options, boys….

    1) Become the very first litterbugs on a totally barren planet
    2) Start the planet’s very first dumpground right there on the spot
    3) Recycle your trash by ingesting it and then fertilizing the dust
    4) Go home and clean your room

    Do we really need the PC sermons (especially the ones from the Hate America First-ers) here?

    ——————————–

    hmm… interesting label you’ve thrown down there. Let’s review: I see several posts supporting ecology, anti-litter, and personal responsiblity. And your interpretation is that these people “hate” America?

    I suspect that perhaps they LOVE it more than you do. High self-expectation is not hate. Only the “lazy louts” could possibly view it that way.

    I believe in leaving to tracks but the ones from your feet.

    City people pollute
    Cavins candy wrapper has a short life
    There is no foot print of these two up on Mars know I betcha

    cwreenactor said, 14 days ago

    So, is Calvin eating a Mars Bar?

35. 

    Susan001 said, 14 days ago

    No, it isn’t city people who pollute. It’s STUPID and GREEDY people who pollute!
    And, Calvin, running away will not solve the problem of pollution.

    As for his parents, Helen, they’re probably glad he’s gone.
    Of course, this whole story line is in Calvin’s imagination, which his parents ignore.

    Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints.

    MisngNOLA said, 14 days ago

    Susan, add the word LAZY to your assessment and I’ll agree wholeheartedly.

    Ray C said, 14 days ago

    This is more complex than I at first thought. (Most things are.)
    Mars, as far as we know, is a totally barren wasteland, completely lifeless.
    There is no doubt some natural beauty there due to volcanic action, but for the most part it’s not much to look at.
    A Mars Bar candy wrapper would be the only piece of art on the entire planet.
    Seems a shame to crumple it up and stuff it in your pocket. It should be enshrined, like the Mona Lisa.
    Expecting to hear vehement rebuttals…

    They should look up Podkayne - I know she’d be happy to help them out.

    WHY ISN’T THIS COMIC IN COLOR? DON’T THEY HAVE THE MONEY TO DO IT?

41. 

    mfcoace said, 14 days ago

    More likely they don’t have permission from the artist to color it. Watterson was/is very protective of his creation, and did not participate in the licensing of C&H products like other cartoonists, most notably Garfield’s Jim Davis. Essentially all C&H images you see outside of the books and forums like this are pirated.

    that’s the way pollution starts,one careless act after another,watch him hobbes.

    They only colored the Sunday comics.

    Susan001 said, 14 days ago

    You’re right, MisngNOLA. STUPID, GREEDY, and LAZY.

    mrprongs said, 14 days ago

    That’s how it started on Earth.

    This planet’s not big enough for the two of us!

    celecca said, 14 days ago

    Watson’s B/W work is out of this world - coloring it in for Sunday, while fun, took away our ability to imagine - for ex - how many hues of red C&H would be surrounded by without being limited by Pantone..
