Summary
In this episode, Calvin asks the big questions: What's the point of human existence? Whence do we come? What are we? Where are we going? (He came from his room, he's a kid with big plans, and he's going outside)There's a surprising amount of philosophy in Calvin and Hobbes, and Bill Watterson manages to make it both poignant and entertaining. Come join us as we discuss the philosophical musings of our favorite 6-year-old! Here is a list of the comics mentioned this episode, along with their publication dates and the books where they can be found. We would love to hear from you!
