We don’t do it because it’s easy, but because we must.

Last night’s installment of 6yo’s Calvin and Hobbes vocabulary list: insubordination hereby demoted mascot flea-ridden nihilism disillusioning



I introduced 6yo to Calvin and Hobbes a month or so ago. She seemed exasperated; she wasn’t getting the jokes. I dropped it, thinking she wasn’t quite ready. Turns out she’s secretly stayed up late every night for weeks reading it. She makes vocabulary lists for it. She cites Calvin’s altercations with Moe and Susie for moral guidance. She asked her teachers for homework so she could try resenting homework (which didn’t work, she found the homework fun). She is treating one of her stuffed bears as a Hobbes: “She likes to take naps on the floor while I’m away and scare me when I come back home.”



This is what the ai-haters don't understand. You get these images, stories, and things stuck in your head for decades. I wanted to write comic books for a living, but you end up having a family support and can't keep pursing that life path. Pick up a pencil? I held that pencil until everyone around me begged me to put it down. I'd given up hope that I would ever get to see these ideas realized. I don't need to make money from them. I don't need a huge audience. But getting to see these puzzles figured out, helps you understand why they have been stuck in your head for so long. Finishing these stories helps you figure out WHO YOU ARE.
