228/365 - Selective Inversion
I learned more from Calvin and Hobbes than I did throughout my entire high school career. Bill Watterson, the author of Calvin & Hobbes, taught me that life isn’t as simple as it may seem. There are always greater forces at work.
Calvin’s character is a 6 year old brat who wants nothing more than to be left alone to his own devices. He hates that he must adhere to rules and finds himself engaged in a never-ending battle to fight and change them. In one strip taking place in Calvin’s imagination, he finds himself able to walk on the ceiling. He also discovers that although he may no longer answer to gravity, everything else does. His shirt falls down over his eyes and the change falls out of his pockets. He got his wish and he wasn’t happy with it.
This is a common theme throughout the strip: if you try hard enough, you may be able to change the rules to which you must adhere, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the same goes for everyone/everything else. There’s a life lesson in there, somewhere.
Thanks, Bill. You changed my life.
Style inspired by .LisaK. – Lisa has a wide range of skills. My most favorite being the ability to wash out a shot, keeping it somehow interestingly devoid of color. Simple and to the point: One and Two and Three.
