This Day in Calvin and Hobbes: April 30, 1993

Spaceman Spiff just can't seem to go anywhere without dangerous aliens popping up. What a life.

I miss getting points for originality... even if that was just a nice way of saying that you were completely wrong.

This Day in Calvin and Hobbes: November 9, 1988

Oh yeah, Calvin? Try living there.

Oh, and Hobbes really doesn't have anything to complain about. It's not like he can do much until Calvin gets back home anyway.

Teachers. You give them the correct answer, but they subtract points anyway because you didn't give "their" correct answer. This isn't the case for Calvin, of course, but I will just say that I never thought I would get an exam back where all my answers were correct, but I still scored below an eighty.

The funny thing is that after I talked to my professor about the exam, she couldn't even give me a clear answer as to what I failed to do. She even "let" me email her rewritten answers for partial credit. Thank you Wikipedia.

You just can't argue with Hobbes' reasoning on this one. Sure you could run a race without any regard for your limits, but if you fall over dead afterward then you'll never enjoy the fame.

**Note: Happy 200th post! I can't believe it has been this long already!

This Day in Calvin and Hobbes: July 13, 1992

I lost my mind about four years ago. I thought about posting a reward for it, but I doubt I'd get any inquiries.

Just because what fascinates us happens to be idiotic doesn't mean that idiocy is the essence of our minds. It just means that we're not afraid to embrace our curiosity. If the red button shocks you when you press it, press it again to make sure the results are consistent and then wonder why you're being shocked.

Yesterday In Calvin and Hobbes: April 7, 1991

You know, I always hated that kid who just refused to leave the room regardless of the fact that he sounded like he was being killed by something large and unfriendly. Even if it might have been me a few times... cough.

This Day in Calvin and Hobbes: March 3, 1991

It sure has been a while since I did one of these. Ah well, it's a new month and the snow is melting.

I really love the message in this strip. If you can't laugh at things that don't make sense, then you won't be able to deal with a lot of things in life. So very true.

And To All... Tons Of Presents!

Merry Christmas and welcome all to The Deaf Rogue's first Christmas post! I don't really have much planned for the day myself, but I hope that all of you got exactly what you wanted and enjoy your day off. Now... here is a little Calvin and Hobbes and a Christmas video that I am sure you will enjoy.

"Screw the yules, I have money!!"

This Day In Calvin And Hobbes: December 22, 1985

Haha, your fort may be impenetrable, but that means nothing to someone that you have already let inside. Be careful who you trust hmm? There's a funny little lesson for you.

Also, I can not stand boring, and ultimately uneventful, days. They drive me insane.

"How Come We Play War And Not Peace?"

Yeah, why is that? Aside from the fact that war is a lot more fun, of course. I mean, how would we go about playing peace? Would we just sit in a big circle and whoever moves the least wins? Or maybe whoever the most intimidating player is will just suggest the chance of war and the less intimidating players will bow to their whims? Hmm...

This Day In Calvin And Hobbes

Yes, I have decided to start yet another new "thing" for the blog. From time to time I will post a Calvin and Hobbes strip from my collection that was printed on that same day "x" number of years ago. Sure it may just sound like filler, and I suppose it really is, but I love Calvin and Hobbes and I have the entirety of the series so you can just bugger off if you don't like it. =]

This strip is from July, 08, 1988, probably the best year ever, and is actually one of the more profound strips in the series. I always enjoyed the messages Watterson included in his strips, they really made you consider things even though you were just reading the "Funnies" section in the newspaper.
