Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 14, 2023

Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Someone actually wrote a song about God’s sense of humor.

It’s enough to turn the pope into an atheist.

Tells you much about religion

Yes, Yes he does. After all God also made the platypus.

I’m glad that God found a pair of underwear that fits him.

Sure He does, Hobbes. He created Dan Quayle, right??

Brahmā?

Yup, the monkey god…….

Sometimes I wonder if all the contradictions in religions are there on purpose. Either to test your faith or to test if you are actually paying attention to reality.

as part of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says this about God the Father: “He makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust” (ESV). We are all created equal in God’s image, but some of us are good and others evil. No matter, he gives us life and we choose how to live it.

That was just not one of God’s better days.

God may have a sense of humor but Priests and Nuns don’t. Just because I told that joke that ends “The feet kid! The feet!” why did I have to kneel on the cement floor for the rest of Catechism?

Yes, yes She does. After all, She made man.

Does anyone here stop to think that God (who or whatever that may be) predates so-called Christianity by considerable? I’m pretty sure that wondering humans ALWAYS find a way to explain the unknown by inventing gods.

Mr. Olympia, you are not, Calvin!

Well, according to some, He had an inordinate fondness for beetles (because there are so many species of beetles).

It is my contention that God created man for comic relief.

I believe that among the many blessings the big guy bestowed on us, a sense of humor is one of the greatest: to be able to laugh at ourselves collectively instead of using the differences to separate ourselves.

Imago Dei! Beautifully and wonderfully made!!!!

The Count agrees. Take Taylor❤️Swift and Troglodyte Kelce. Oh… btw… Taylor❤️Swift is absolutely NOT… told to The Count by a friend…

Hobbes nailed it. Anybody who says God has no sense of humor just hasn’t looked around at the laughable mix of shapes, sizes, and clothing being sported by some of his experiments.

Man made God in his own image.

Calvin isn’t quite the physical specimen he thinks he is.

I feel like the cancellation of a classic, enjoyable, comic strip has made several people miss and have sorrow for a splat of ink, quite incredible, right?

Ok to believe that as a child. The problem is when you’re full grown and still think that :-D

I’m pretty sure God was serious when he started out but after the 6th day, he got a little silly.

She sure does…

God has a sense of humor. She gave men nipples.

George Carlin has a few interesting things to say about God and religion.

“Bodies by Calvin.” Hmm. Indeed, He does!

God evidently wears tighty-whities.

In Planets of the Apes, they said the exact same thing. When will people wake up and do away with all religions and governments. Let the world be run by the United Nations and stop all the wars.. Its politics and religions that cause all of the problems. Its always I am right and your wrong… what if everyone is WRONG! The Greeks and Romans were wrong so how did the 21st century get it right.. No one person can get the world to change in just 4 years, and no one mythological being can ever change anything. If you ask any person on the street what they are, you will be told a race, ethnicity, religious or a political following and each of these things were handed down to you from birth. Until every human being on earth just only considers themselves an Earthling and nothing else will we ever have the capacity of true growth instead of eventual extinction.

God wears tighty-whities?

I always thought God’s got a great sense of humor, but I’m too scared to laugh.

Right concept, wrong creature.

What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

God can be a practical joker

Man created God in his own image, because it’s scary knowing that you’re just a source of meat to other living things.

Have to admit He did a great job on tigers.

if God didn’t have a sense of humor 100% of us wouldn’t be here or even thought of. js

Hobbs also was created in God’s own image. Human’s assumption that they look like God is wrong. Everything alive is created in God’s own image – the image He conjured for each specie, [If there is a God]

From my observations, people are way funnier

Oh, I firmly believe God [by whatever name(s)] has a sense of humor.

“I don’t want to start

Any blasphemous rumors

But I think that God’s

Got a sick sense of humor

And when I die

I expect to find Him laughing"

Martin Gore

The ‘Image’ in reference is a spiritual one

“Little lower than the angels.”

Or God’s just funny-looking.

Jews just restarted annual reading of the Torah this week. Somebody at Andrew McMeel is on the ball.

Wouldn’t it be something if Watterson changed the theme a bit and someone heard Hobbes talking?
