Calvin would be perfect for this era
August 6, 2025
I remember reading Calvin & Hobbes voraciously as a child, and now, I have the great pleasure of watching my daughter experience it all for the first time.
Calvin was always impetuous and had trouble focusing—probably he’d be diagnosed with ADHD today.
In one panel, Calvin gets mad at his arch-nemesis Susie Derkins for not doing his homework for him. After all, why should he have to do it?
Silly? Ridiculous? Inappropriate?
Or the perfect person for the now-now-now, AI-powered future where no kid understands why they have to do homework at all, when a machine can do it all for them.
