Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 04, 2022

Especially if you don’t like the answers.

You need someone to blame for your bad decisions.

Wait until Calvin watches “Supernatural” one day.

would Calvin have preferred to have talked this over with Susie instead? she’s human too after all

Also sprach the wise tiger.

Humanity does not need help, you only need to look at politics and corporate antics to confirm that

The Devil is within us!

Seeing this horrible war I’m sure devil exists. What will help against him! I don’t know!!

Listen to the cat.

John Calvin and Thomas Hobbes were traipsing in the woods one day. Hobbes said, “This is exceeding strange! You died four and twenty years before I was born.” Calvin did not reply, as he was dead.

Hobbes got the last word.

Hobbes in beast mode is always a treat.

Humankind really doesn’t. Now natural disasters like hurricanes and pandemics on the other hand…

Amen! XD

Yes, Calvin—I believe in the devil.

And he’s taken the form of Donald J. Trump!!

Let’s Go Brandon Building Back Better all the time.

The more things change the more they stay the same

The world already has Pelosi and/or Putin do we actually need the Devil.

One of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes observations on life.

Why was it that I was not surprised that some of the commentators would take a philosophical question and made it political?

Hobbes aint wrong…lol

You can’t talk to animals about it because they are led by instinct. There’s no corruption, no greed, no temptations.

The Devil was divised to take the burden off of Mans bad decision.

For a tiger, Hobbes is pretty astute.

I think the devil is not "dedicated’ to the destruction of mankind. He is entertained by it.

The Devil is in charge of Heavy Metal and orgies.

A start in stopping him might be to get traitors like Tucker Carlsen to shut the f*ck up.

Says the devil’s apprentice.

Truer words were never spoken.

The Devil made you do it… Let’s see… The serpent convinces Eve to eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and then Eve convinces Adam to eat the fruit and mankind has been awful ever since. Man gets blamed for the sins of the world even though it was the female who ate it first.

Our pastor used to say that too many Christians blame the devil for what is their own nastiness.

“We have met the enemy, and he is us” — Pogo

Have to like the first panel with Hobbs, with tongue out, takes a first step on a rock!

Mankind is born into sin and are natural sinners. We don’t really need satan’s help, but he provides it any way.

It was already funny at panel 2.

A hundred thousand years ago, early human tribes gathered around bonfires, plotting how to go kill that other tribe and take their stuff before they came to kill us and take our stuff.

.

Technology advanced. Humans didn’t.

Religion. Because the masses needed a distraction to keep them from eating the rich. Longest con ever played. Still ongoing.

Logical Hobbes

I can feel Lucifer Morningstar’s indignation.

I feel like this gets truer and truer as time goes on.

As long as we have Rupert Murdoch what do we need a devil for?

There were probably entire races of devilish rivals to mankind but we drove them all to extinction.

I’m sorry, I can’t find this funny. I’m crying over Bucha.

Don`t need him when we have people like Putin around.

From the looks of it, we humans have done a shitty job thus far.

Calvin I know past strip, yet currently happening with the evil devil now, though I learn that divesting war to destroy is what scripture shows, I cannot give the verse. Kingdom against Kingdom in the old testament.

Watterson always made it clear in the strip that he’s a misanthrope.

The political back and forth here makes me laugh out loud. I always wonder how so many people can stand there and scream out,, “Your corporate puppet is worse than my corporate puppet”, never seeing beyond their short sightedness that neither are “for the people” unless those ‘people’ wear Armani suits and live in wealth.

Perhaps the creator should have created humans to behave a little better. It did a poor job in many ways.

A friend of the devil is a friend of mine.

Nailed it, Big Cat!

The devil is inside each of us, each time we express anger, he emerges

Nothing ruins a good rant like the truth.

Pretty smart tiger!

Hobbes gives us pause.

Without the Devil all those preachers and other grifters of that ilk would have to find another job.

Nope…we’re doing a pretty good job of destroying ourselves without any divine intervention.

Hobbes isn’t wrong.

Absolutely perfect. One of my two favorite Calvin and Hobbs strips. The other is the reflection that the proof of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe is that they haven’t tried to contact us.
