    Some moms do, others don’t. Mine always “found something for me to do to take my mind off it”—usually chores. Either that or she’d spend an hour telling you how easy you had it, and how tough she did. You learned to wear a happy face regardless of how you felt.

    True. That was her plan C, if chores and guilt-tripping failed. I believe it was called “You wanna grumble, here’s a reason.”

    I think Calvin got bullied by Moe, plus, while Hobbes is out of the picture, he comments or brings us strips. @MagicFan: Happy birthday!

    sometimes moms know everything, and sometimes they don’t. and, one time, a texas mom superglued her toddler’s hands to the wall after beating up the toddler with a milk jug.

    @Tacopielver: I haven’t had clinical depression, but I know someone who has. What I’ve figured out is that it’s very difficult for someone who doesn’t have clinical depression to even imagine what life is like for someone who does. I hope you have a good doctor and a good friend. And always keep on reading the comics. But maybe not the political cartoons…… Good luck.

    Hi cookies333. Glad you enjoy them. I seemed to have a lot of favorite comics that related to today’s Calvin and Hobbes. Must be a very common theme in the comics. I only chose eight of them to share. I think eight is a new record for one day.

    @cookies333: It’s a lot of……….. work. But I’m really lucky to have a career that is meaningful and that I really enjoy, so that most of the time it doesn’t really seem like work. When you think about how much of your life you spend at work, who wants to spend it doing something meaningless, or something they don’t really enjoy, just to collect a paycheck?It’s sort of like asking, who would want to spend their entire life just eating food to survive, without enjoying warm chocolate chip cookies once in a while?

    Q. Can you guess who said,

    “The most terrifying loneliness is not experienced by everyone and can be understood only by a few. I compare the panic in this kind of loneliness to the dog we see running frantically down the road pursuing the family car. He is not really being left behind … but for that moment n his limited understanding, he is being left alone forever, and he has to run and run to survive.” ?

    A. The author of Peanuts.

    @Pteranodon: Yes, Charles Schulz struggled with loneliness all of his life, but especially when he was overseas during World War II. His strips about summer camp are often related to his loneliness during the war, which also coincided with the loss of his mother. Here is a summer camp strip that relates to your quotation:Click here: Peanuts (June 17, 1966)

    I hope those commenters who complain about Calvin’s parents being so mean to him will remember this strip. His Mom can be very understanding and loving.

    They were talking to each other. Coyotes are depressed because they have no owners, doggie bowl, or a leash for walks. Plus, nobody pets them!
