Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 24, 2013

Yes,yes.

Euphoria is very much work, needs a good teacher and patience.

Advice you should follow, Calvin.

@LX013: Euphoria doesn’t require any work, just the right medications.

Try jumping?

look be smart Calvin’s….

Right now, I’d love horizontal and 2 more hours of zzzzs.

happiness is devouring a whole gallon of fudge ripple, and not gaining any weight.

Sage advice…

I don’t think anyone can survive living in a constant state of euphoria.

Happiness can sometimes be very elusive.Click here: Pearls Before Swine (October 9, 2003)Click here: Pearls Before Swine (February 5, 2006)(Note that the name “Joseph C. Shlabonsky” is very similar to the name “Joe Shlabotnik,” which was chosen by Charles Schulz when he was looking for a funny-sounding name for Charlie Brown’s favorite baseball player. Like Bill Watterson, Stephan Pastis of Pearls Before Swine says that he was very heavily influenced by Charles Schulz. Unlike Bill Watterson, Stephan Pastis also knew Charles Schulz personally.)Click here: Reality Check (January 4, 2013)Click here: Peanuts (November 15, 1956)Click here: Peanuts (June 4, 1960)

@Wiseguy411 (from yesterday): Good to hear from you again. Did you know that the “Philosophy Wall” in Peanuts was first animated in the very first Peanuts special, “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” in 1965? That was when we also got to see the end of the wall for the first time.

Nice commentary, Hobbes. But somehow the way that Watterson poses the problem, “Happiness isn’t good enough for me! I demand euphoria!” makes me think that heroin is the only viable solution. And we all know how that works out.

yeah, thinking tends to do that a lot

There ya go……thinking again…………..

That’s me, Calvin!

Everybody knows that happiness doesn’t last.

Calvin need to take a lesson from Alfred E Neuman & just stop thinking period

Calvin, more play, less thinking. :D

Calvin is ’a’head, (with a small body attached).

…not to mention a small mind, sometimes!

I have some happiness, that I never want to lose it.

Ah. The dysphorizing effect of excessive introspection.

Throw a water balloon at Susie. Then you’ll be happy again.

LOL xxx

Contentment is a skill.

The problem, Calvin, is that you either quit too late, or too soon. You need to reflect on what will bring contentment, and then pursue it.

@rgcviper: Glad you enjoy them. I see that your last name is “the black cat.” Hmmm……. Not sure I should be crossing paths with you……… :>)
