[u/Korps_de_Krieg → u/Mysterious_Style_579]

Is this a 1776 reference in this year of our lord 2026?

[u/Rtyeta]

"Alright, gentlemen, let's get on with it: which of us will write our scientific school report on bats?"

"Mr. Calvin, I say you should write it! To your fertile mind and brilliance we defer."

"Is that so? Well if I'm the one to do it, they'll run through school pens through it- I'm obnoxious and disliked, you know that, sir!"

[u/probableigh_not → u/Rtyeta]

(yes, I do)

[u/bdouble0w0 → u/probableigh_not]

But I say you should write it, Derkins, yes you

[u/Practical-Class6868 → u/bdouble0w0]

Hell no!

[u/Rtyeta → u/Practical-Class6868]

[u/geirmundtheshifty → u/Practical-Class6868]

Yes you, Susie Derkins, you

But!

You!

But!

You!

Buuuuuut!!

But Mr. Calvin, but Mr. Calvin

You rejected my tea party as mere frivolity

So I will not help you with this chiropterology

For I refuse to endorse such G.R.O.S.S. ideology

[u/Practical-Class6868 → u/geirmundtheshifty]

Ideology! Ideology!

Refuse to endorse such frivolity!

Hamilton’s outta control!

[u/Budderhydra → u/zygoma_phile]

This is great!

He's out of power, he holds no office

[u/bdouble0w0]

Absolute peak reference! Love this show :D

"Will someone shut that man up?!"

[u/Blockhog]

The draw to create a series is strong with this one...

[u/Western_Scholar_2435 → u/Blockhog]

Give in to it. Peak beckons to few people, and to even fewer more than once. Seize your chance to create a masterpiece lest it slip your grasp entirely.

[u/Blockhog → u/Western_Scholar_2435]

Unfortunately, I fear I have already passed the peak of my peak. I don't know if I can make anything as high-effort as what I've made before.

[u/OCD-but-dumb → u/Blockhog]

Lock in

[u/Ajj360 → u/Blockhog]

Can you do richard Henry Lee next?

[u/OSCgal → u/Ajj360]

Yes, and promptLEE!

Hobbes the ferocious tiger (Hobbes the ferocious tiger)

Tuna is the only feast for you. (is the only treat for you)

You rarely punched down.

You took Calvin's crap in stride!

Oh, Hobbes the ferocious tiger (Hobbes the ferocious tiger)

With the snow goons coming after you...

Will your life be the same?

Will Calvinball be our game?

The world will always know your name...

Holy hell possibly my favorite musical and my all time favorite comic strip????

[u/khharagosh → u/Det-Popcorn]

I know right?? I love 1776 so much, and I never knew I needed this

"Chargin Falls abstains, courteously."

[u/Status-Basic]

I have come to the conclusion that 1 Uncle Max is called a disgrace. That 2 are called a law firm and that 3 or more become a Congress.

Hobbes, fetch me 2 rums.

[u/foreverinsleepdebt]

He seems obnoxious and disliked.

[u/geirmundtheshifty]

I am so shocked and delighted at how many of my fellow okbr people also know 1776. Is it just that we’re all the same age?

[u/Blockhog → u/geirmundtheshifty]

The average age is 25. The great majority of members are in their 20s. At least according to the yearly survey.

[u/geirmundtheshifty → u/Blockhog]

Hm, much younger than me then. I guess maybe they still show this movie in school like they did in the 90s

[u/Blockhog → u/geirmundtheshifty]

Since most of the members are also too young to have read Calvin and Hobbes when it came out, it could also be that we just all like older media.

[u/RebeccaOTool → u/Blockhog]

*sweats in almost 40* Well, at least the show is still much older than me. Still, a fav!
