“Sometimes life isn’t fair.”
“Yes, but how come it’s never unfair in my favor?”
We had a great cartoon in our raptor rehab clinic:
[paraphrase]
Calvin is walking through his house, only it’s not ‘quite’ his house. Suddenly an out-of-proportioned puppet of his mother hands him a bowl of food and encourages him to eat, and Calvin finds out he’s been in a laboratory and they are trying to imprint him on his own species. Then he wakes up and goes to breakfast, terrified and wondering if she’s his real mother.

I always wondered how the baby birds pictured us, feeding them with an oversized birdhead puppet and tape recorder.
I think the surest argument for life on other planets is that none has tried to contact us yet.
I love you calvin.
My favorite Calvin story ever is the duplicator. That’s the one they are finishing up right now on the web site.
Hobbes: He’s a duplicate of you, all right.
Calvin: What do you mean? This guy is a total jerk!
