this is LITERALLY the Calvinball theme song: "Other kids' games are all such a bore! They've gotta have rules and they gotta keep score! Calvinball is better by far! It's never the same! It's always bizarre! You don't need a team or a referee! You know that it's great, 'cause it's named after me!" i hate this sport and its over saturation in mainstream media

i love it when people who see a cartoon character engage in impulsive behavior go "if i imitate this 100% accurately, i'll be just like the character!". it's great

Serious observation: Thirty years ago, when Bill Waterson was making strips either because he needed to, or because he was playing around with fun ideas, what were the chances that he thought that something like "Calvinball", originally a one-off joke, would still be getting talked about in 2015? And that furthermore, it would be happening on the internet, something he probably couldn't have imagined, and wouldn't have liked?

Jesus out lamed the lameo's. Completely. You HAVE to accept Jesus if you're a lameo. It's not like "Thor" the ultimate jock where you can be like "gently caress that guy" no it's fuckin' Jesus. It's fuckin, Jesus, man.

C&H, peanuts, doonesbury, the far side, and zippy the pinhead are the only comics that were ever at all insightful or interesting that i can think of. everything else is basically tolerable at best and ultimately forgettable
