Calvin And Hobbes embodied the voice of the lonely child

Calvin didn’t have trouble focusing on the world around him, he had trouble reconciling himself to the fact that the world around him was such a disappointment. The reason the strip appealed to people both young and old is because Calvin was feeling underwhelmed at a college graduate level. It’s not unheard of for children to experience this, particularly those who are more sensitive to their surroundings, and for many it was a relief to know that seeing the world without the luster and facade constantly created for us wasn’t so unusual. 

“Calvin made it okay to be disheartened and disappointed by life and normalized the inherent loneliness that childhood can bring.”

 He was there for us as we grew up and while we learned that things were capable of getting so much better and so much worse as we experienced puberty and beyond, he was still mired in the first grade, raging against the machine.

Regret

For Concepts Class: Illustrate a nonphysical word. The class had to try and guess it. 

So based on this post I created an NVCR stained glass memorial wall for all the dead interns, depicting (more or less) how they died. (Many patterns and images taken from google such as the lighthouse and the forest. If you see your pattern pls tell me so I can correctly credit you.) I take requests!

We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world.

“For a really long time that’s all I had – little moments with a girl who saw me as a friend. And, a lot of people told me I was crazy to wait this long for a date with a girl I work with but I think, even then I knew that … I was waiting for my wife.

The boat was actually plan C, the church was plan B, and Plan A was marrying her a long, long time ago. Pretty much the day I met her.”
