“Courier Six has to have amnesia! why else would they not know anything about the region and faction!”

If I was a post-apocalyptic mail man the last thing I’d give a fuck about is the socio-political systems existing around me when there’s giant irradiated scorpions and rattlesnake wolves and my ass gotta deliver shit on foot.

I can guarantee that a literal multi faction war could erupt right next to me and I wouldn’t notice over the sound of me playing death tug-o-war with a gecko over the shit I’m trying and failing to deliver.

I thinks folks expressing incredulity at the quality of the writing and composition in Calvin and Hobbes are often missing the context that Bill Watterson is arguably the most influential sequential artist of his generation. Like, this is a guy who once told the editors of nationally syndicated newspapers to go fuck themselves when they wanted to mess with his panel layouts, and not only did he keep his job, he got his way. He could have had literally any gig he wanted, and he chose to be the Sunday funnies guy because that's what made him happy. He's basically the Weird Al of sequential art.

Watterson considers comics to be as true an art form as painting and films and literature, capable of reaching just as high as any other medium. Calvin and Hobbes isn't accidentally high art. Watterson made it what it is on purpose. And when he was done, he stopped. No movie, no spinoff, no reboot. He considers the comic to be its completed form, in exactly the medium it is supposed to be. He believed in comics in a way few others ever have, and he fought tooth and nail for the right to take his own work, jokes and all, seriously.

Look, I went to a FANCY Classical Art Atelier for my four year higher education.

We studied from the Old Masters, and then from modern Fine Art and Illustration Masters like NC Wyeth and Frank Frazetta and JC Leyendecker and especially Sargent.

You know who else made that list of Masters? Next to Will Eisner and Mike Mignola and Disney's Nine Old Men?

Bill Watterson.

If you've read enough Calvin and Hobbes I do not have to explain why. I knew even as a child that those comics were something special.

obsessed with this sign i saw taped up outside the bat room at the zoo yesterday. the enthusiasm, the hand-written note, the bat drawing.

my family is fucking addicted to macgyvering and it's becoming a problem. every time something in this house breaks, instead of doing the sensible thing of replacing it or calling someone qualified to fix it, we all group around the offending object with a manic look in our eyes and everyone gets a try at fixing it while being cheered on or ridiculed by the rest.

it's a beautiful bonding activity, but the "creative" fixes have turned our house into a quasihaunted escape room like contraption where everything works, but only in the wonkiest of ways. you need a huge block of iron to turn on the stove. the oven only works if a specific clock is plugged in. the bread machine has a huge wood block just stapled to it that has become foundational to its function. sometimes when you use the toaster the doorbell rings. and that's just the kitchen.

it's all fun and games until you have guests over and you have to lay out the rules of the house like it's a fucking board game. welcome to the beautiful guest room. don't pull out the couch yourself you need a screwdriver for that, and that metal rod makes the lamp work so don't move it. it also made me a terrifying roommate in college, because it makes me think i can fix anything with enough hubris and a drill. you want to call the landlord about a leaky faucet? as if. one time my dad made me install a new power socket because we ran our of extension cords

[sadclowncentral]

to the people saying this isn't safe in the tags: my dad has a engineering degree and my brother is a mechanic this is like. state sanctioned macgyvering. safe sane and consensual macgyvering. our house will not burn down. in fact, i think it has made us all better in approaching problems from all angles when they arise, which has served me well in life, especially in high stress situations.

does our hot water switch off every thirty seconds making showers an exiting exercise in counting and resilience? yes. but one time the door of the train toilet broke, trapping me inside, and i went "well i can either succumb to the panic of claustrophobia or do this family-style" and then spent twenty minutes breaking down the lock with my shoelace and the belt i was wearing. so i'll take the cold water any day

used to be you could get yourself a porkpie hat, some checkered braces and a trumpet and get yourself an honest job in the ska mines, a man could feed his family by skanking a solid eight hours and come home and drop his coat knowing his wife would pick it up pick it up pick it up, but not no more. not since woke.

this is actually a perfect addition. the hebrew in the tags there is a Jewish proverb/song, and it translates to “the whole world is a narrow bridge; the essential thing is not to fear at all.” the point is that, like. the whole world is scary, and that is exactly why you can’t live in fear of it. walk the bridge anyway.

I looked this up and I need you all to know that the stadium was blasting Holding Out For A Hero as the bee man was vaccuming them up with his shop vac. There's video. It's amazing.
