Yep. This is probably one of the few things Zig Forums agrees on.

Yeah, it's pretty based.

What baffles me the most is the fact that this comic was supposed to be aimed at children, but Calvin has the vocabulary of a college professor.

I used a bunch of words from C & H and thought i was such a smart little cunt but was just pronouncing AND using them wrong

Which oddly enough made you even more like Calvin.

Mostly but I still see big brained contrarions break it down to its base components via greentext or mspaint comic thinking they've ruined our childhoods as if describing what a thing does like that suddenly makes it bad.

There are so many strips that flew over my head when I was a little kid. I get more out of them now.

Based on what?

It's a shame librarians think it's for children

As an adult you really get to appreciate the bullshit that Calvin's dad would do to him.

Forgetting completely about Marmaduke.

It's actually kind of depressing to go back to as an adult.

The parents and kid hate each other, the kid's only friend is imaginary (and often, isn't all that friendly to him), and there's comics about how the human race deserves extinction.

>and there's comics about how the human race deserves extinction.
Watterson truly hates the human race and society.

Schulz certainly didn't have any delusions about how cruel humans could be or how unfair life was, but he didn't go as far as to draw humans being shot by deer.

There's a bitterness to Watterson that I don't get from Schulz even at his darkest, and it seems to intensify after he prevents C&H merchandise.

I disagree, Calvin was a shithead sometimes and the parents got understandably frustrated, but I felt that they truly loved him, and they defintely went farther then they had too sometimes to make him happy, like going into the woods to get his stuffed animal back.

I think he really hates human interaction, he always was a shut in type of man, and that's why he lives in the middle to bumfuck nowhere. Also he truly loathes technology, so for him it's fine to live isolated from the rest of the world.

What about the Far side?

That, and hope much we like Aqua Teen
Or just Carl
Oh, and Ruber

And the parents were even bigger shitheads at times. They god mad at Calvin for things that weren't even his fault (like the dog doo comic).

Was Calvin´s dad the original shitposter?

Easily the most fuckable newspaper comics character.

I did not care for Aqua Teen Hunger Force

They felt human, yes they made mistakes and yes they were probably a but harsher, but Calvin did lots of shit.

I still felt like they all loved each other in their own ways.

There should be more of this, I read the C&H collections first (or had them read too me) when I was very little and learned a lot of words from them. While at first I did say and use many wrong over time I figured out how to do it currently, that's how you learn anything. It's better to aim high when you start to learn so you eventually reach that point.

This is basically what Stephan Pastis said, that Calvin is even more of a loser than Charlie Brown vimeo.com/44086772

You're being overly defense of them. They're as terrible parents as he is a bad sun. Even Watterson himself talked about how readers found them "unloving and sarcastic".

Nice digits.

And yeah, I suppose I am being a bit defensive. Most of the comics I read were the collections, where they were portrayed as mostly sympathetic at least in my eyes.

Even if the parents were shitty on occasion, like, a lot - every time Calvin's dad made him build character - they still had moments where they just were good parents struggling with a very intelligent, very disobedient, very bratty child.

Does anyone remember that one strip where Calvin had a dream about his parents being puppets used by aliens who lost funding when Calvin figured it out? Or that one where Calvin dreams they are going to bake him into waffles?

I know the waffle one. Never seen that other one.
