    Is this a real Calvin and Hobbes? AI generated?

    It doesn’t look edited but it seems a little too… something.

        Yeah just also piping in to say its real. I used to have the whole collection of these as a book, this was in it.

        Watterson was astoundingly good at capturing a whole lot of social dynamics in a single comic, presented in a way literal children could understand.

        I remember reading this as an elementary schooler and looking up words I didn’t know, from the comic, in the dictionary, to actually learn them and fully understand the comic.

        Had to go ‘online’ to figure out ‘caveat emptor’, haha.

        Yeah others have mentioned it. It’s just so… relevant. It’s like it was written today for current events.
