Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 20, 1989
Transcript:
Calvin: ...So Moe stole my truck, and when I tried to get it back, Moe wanted to fight me for it. I didn't want to fight, so I walked away and Moe kept my truck. I don't understand it, Hobbes. What makes some people so greedy and mean? Why is it that some people don't care what's wrong and right? Why don't people try to be nice to each other? Hobbes: The problem with people is that they're only human. Calvin: Well, you're lucky you don't have to be one.

Are you familiar with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (©1950) by C. S. Lewis? I’ll bet that Calvin would’ve loved to have had somebody like Professor Kirke in his life. The Professor admits that his house is a very strange place, and that even he doesn’t know much about it. He understands that even if something doesn’t appear to make sense, it’s not necessarily nonsense.
