Haha this was always the most disturbing C&H strip I love it
Calvin’s got a point!
Bill Watterson graphically murdered a dude in the funny pages and no one blinked an eye. Amazing.
Calvin did nothing wrong! :P
I love how happy Calvin looks, lol.
And we kept going past 7 Billion, aiming for 8.
8 was almost a year ago, we’re on our way to 9 now.
Calvin grew up to be Thanos.
I think if Calvin did, he would have been smart enough to not destroy the stones because you’d need to periodically snap again as reducing the population by a % once only turns back the clock and eventually you’ll be back where you were before the snap. And if he had the stones, that attack on him wouldn’t have stood a chance.
“We Need To Talk About Calvin”
I was listening to Cattle Decap when I read this, I hope the universe isn’t trying to warn me about anything.
Dying Fetus while wearing my Pig Destroyer shirt for me …makes it all the better!
The deers shouldt get shot
They should just have more predators. Wolves and such. That eats the deer.
Humans are predators of deer. Though some of them are wasted, many aren’t. Hunters (with their families and their communities) eat their venison for supper, sew their hides into clothes, and carve their bones into jewelry. Unfortunately, it is true that humans have crowded out many of the other predators of deer, like wolves, necessitating more human hunting to fill the gaps; thankfully there’s been much effort towards fixing that mistake.
Have you seen a wild run down a kill a deer? Getting shot is far more peaceful.
That was his point, I assume. Way more awesome when a pack of wolves rips it apart.
He’s out of line !
This was one of the first Calvin and Hobbes strips I ever read.
The only problem I have with this funny comic is the poor comparison. Humans can actively plan, communicate, & alter our environment. Deer cannot. If their population booms (because we killed all their other predators… Oops) then we do need to fill in the gaps until conservation efforts can restore the other populations, such as wolves. That is our duty, to keep the ecosystem in balance. It’s also respectful (In my opinion, at least) to the animals that we kill to at least let them serve a purpose, to feed & cloth us, to not waste their life.
we can, but effectively we don’t
And we do this by flinging metallic lead all over the countryside.
Some people prefer arrows, so they can retrieve & reuse the bolts when they’re done.
In Germany you are not allowed to use arrows. Because you can’t ensure a swift death for the animal.
Humans is the only species that destroys their environment and then pretend to fix the problem by destroying more environment.
Maybe the point is that humans are not actively planning, communicating, and altering our environment in a positive way to be able to handle the population increase.
