For a frightening moment, Calvin’s behaviour seemed a lot like our mass killer Anders Behring Breivik during his trial. It was really bizarre.

Is it SOP for lawyers to stick their tongues out at their clients? If not, it should be.

Calvin needs to be good to his lawyer first.

Part of what puts Watterson head and shoulders above the rest: this looks like a simple joke about lawyers and clients, but Watterson is also examining how people change when they are handed a lilttle power. It happens fairly often in this strip — Calvin grants Hobbes authority as co-leader of the GROSS club, or as captain of the opposing sports team, or as his lawyer, and instead of making sure that all goes as Calvin wants, Hobbes immediately starts living the role while Calvin loses control over his destiny. It’s the story of the politician and his constituents. They think they’re electing a representative, but once he/she has some power, the constituents’ real interests go by the wayside.
