I don't enjoy lettering very much, but that's the way I write and that belongs in the strip because the strip is a reflection of me.

Years from now, when I'm successful and happy, ...and he's in prison... I hope I'm not too mature to gloat.

The world of a comic strip ought to be a special place with its own logic and life... I don't want the issue of Hobbes's reality settled by a doll manufacturer.

But for my own example, I'd never believe one little kid could have so much brains!

As "Calvin and Hobbes" went on, the writing pushed the drawings into greater complexity. One of the jokes I really like is that the fantasies are drawn more realistically than reality, since that says a lot about what's going on in Calvin's head.

Why waste time learning, when ignorance is instantaneous?

Calvin the zombie searches for food. Horribly, the undead feed upon the living! ...Although, in a pinch, a PBJ will do, if you eat it messily enough.
