Santa had the same problem. In the movie, “Miracle on 34th Street,” (the 1947 black-and-white version is the best one), Kris Kringle was on trial for claiming to be Santa Claus, and the judge was unable to dismiss the case unless Kris’s defense attorney could find someone in authority to back him up.
We know Calvin is destined to take last place, but wouldn’t be fun IF he did win? Of course if that did happen, the panels are too small to contain his head!
For some, a diploma works just this way: it’s the confirmation of an authority that they are educated. Those who are truly educated need no confirmation.

Much luck for greatness and celebrity. Real celebrity is not selfish. Real celebrity takes care for others, too!

And greatness has its drawbacks also.

Y’all haven’t even really seen the magnitude of Calvin’s delusions of grandeur yet. This isn’t even close to what he’s convinced is going to happen!

Wrong Calvin. Watterson never won Pulitzer Prize.

I shudder to imagine what calvin would be like if he was half as great as his assumptions.

That last statement is pretty profound, someone is going to pick up on it and repeat it, we will know where it came from.

… Like getting the Nobel Peace Prize before you actually do anything to deserve it.

You’d think Calvin designed Daystrom’s M5 unit. It didn’t turn out to be so great though.

It’s true, I know someone who rescued with true unselfish heroism, I didn’t believe, that someone will do that before!

Once again, Calvin proves the difference between confidence and conceit.

Is Bill Watterson not writing anymore? I remember these strips from the book “Homocidal Psycho Jungle Cat” which came out when I was just a kid.
