[ID: an edited Calvin and Hobbes panel where Calvin sits, smiling, at a lemonade stand with a sign taped to the front of the table. It reads: It’s time to retire that other meme and replace it with this template. Change my mind. Next image is the same meme but the sign reads: Steven Crowder does not deserve a meme format. Change my mind. /end]
See this just feels so much better. I’ve read enough of those comics to know that Calvin has some really deep insights rattling around in his head. And look how happy and attentive he looks. You could absolutely have a polite, intelligent, and enriching conversation with this kid. Meanwhile Steven Crowder is so financially incentivized to always look like the smartest guy in any given room that the only way to change his mind is with a 2x4 to the side of the head. Which, I admit, would be enriching in its own way.

Attaching the blank because the imgur link was being temperamental for me. Saved you a click.
in the spirit of sharing blank meme templates, don’t Drake when you can LaForge!
I’m in favor of this, but omg I’m laughing at the thought of having a polite, intelligent and enriching debate with Calvin.
It’s … possible? But rare. The kid debates like some of the worst and most annoying pundits, because at least some of his characterization is intended to mock such people – the kind of guys who have a big vocabulary of debate team buzzwords and a bit of rational thinking skill, but the temper and listening ability of a six-year-old
But I stand by it, because it’s still a lot more fun to imagine debating Calvin than to imagine debating one of the too-common adult men who think like that.
Calvin’s at least got the potential to be better, and he’s definitely capable of doing something unexpected and entertaining in the debate.
I hope every kid like him gets the chance to take the “more Hobbes, more Calvinball, and less picking on Susie” path to adulthood.
Likewise with LaForge. The way he approaches dating is truly cringeworthy but anything’s better than Drake.
