Enjoy your youth, Have adventures without leaving your neighborhood. Ride bicycles, climb trees, build sand castles in the sand box. Just get outdoors more often and enjoy fresh air and sunshine.
I am the the total opposite,. I am out and about. I meet and greet people on the street. I pick up trash and put it in the garbage can. I find coins, pens, pencils, and stuff. Lots of lonely people out there in need of a smile.

Or Calvin is so cool that he bores himself.

What does a 6yo know about being cool?

This is accurate in reality than in imagination.

Calvin if you wear sunglasses you will have more fun, as Joe Cool teaches.

The major insight here is to realize that if you don’t like to be bored, then you shouldn’t put effort into seeming cool.

Ok, I must be doing something wrong. The world bores me, but I am still not cool.

This cartoon bores me. (God, I’m so cool!)

I thought he was trying to channel James Dean or since this strip is from ’91 perhaps Luke Perry from Beverly Hills 90210…..

I think he got this from “Joe Cool” Snoopy (minus the beret).

Got news for you Calvin — it also bores you when you’re not cool.

He should wear a fez. Fezzes are cool.

You know what can make things bored – “A man and his Black and Decker”.

Cal Cool…just doesn’t have the same ring as Joe Cool…

So true. I totally get it. The trouble is, if you think your cool, you’re probably not.

I disagree. I’m “The World’s Coolest Dad” (got the t-shirt), and I don’t find the world “boring”…

There are those who believe that Ben Murphy Mellow takes less effort than Steve McQueen Cool.

Not as cool as Joe Cool!

Ain’t that the truth.

Actively being cool is so uncool…

He could sling a jacket over his shoulder like the guy from those old cigarettes ads, “Can you spot the Camel smoker?”

Ya know Calvin… I’ve found the same thing to be true.

I was “cool” before I knew it.

I also love how Calvin is being “cool” in the first panel of this strip… https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1986/04/04

Sounds like being cool is crappy.

Boy, what wouldn’t I give to see the world we now live in as boring.

I was cool for about 25 years. Then I moved from Northern Alberta to North Carolina.

I was never cool and didn’t care about it. Too busy having a wonderful life.

The thing about being “cool” is that if you try to be “cool”, then you’re not “cool”.

Calvin, you need a pair of Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses.

" Here’s Joe Cool, hanging around the Student Union eyeing chicks".
Since Calvin hates girls, Snoopy has him beat.

This week has some great strips that show how asinine and arbitrary being ‘cool’ is.
BC in NC Premium Member over 2 years ago
One of my C&H faves is coming up with this ‘cool’ storyline.
hagarthehorrible over 2 years ago
Those drooping eyelids and standing posture of Calvin are indeed coool.
