    When I was young, I read a quote: “war doesn’t determine who’s right. It determines who’s left.”

    At the time, I thought it quite clever and deep.

      I mean, it is rather clever, that’s an excellent quote

        I don’t disagree that it’s clever and I like the message of the quote, but mostly I think that when I was younger I thought it was deeper than I do now.

    Calvin’s Dad knew the answer but it doesn’t work in a comic.

    Everything positive must be backed up with “we’ll fight you over this if we have to.”

    Hopefully because soldiers killing each other is better than soldiers killing civilians. Unfortunately, many wars aren’t fought to prevent civilians from being killed.

Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as “the last great newspaper comic”,[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, cool stuff about the author, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Calvin and Hobbes!
