First, of course, I'm curious. You seem to have abandoned our exchanges here:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=193663&start=400And here:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=186929&start=1375And yet on a thread in which I generally convey my own philosophical ruminations with a tongue in cheek approach to the "human condition", you decide to show up in order to...to what exactly?

In what I posted, Calvin is expressing nihilist views. You then say you would have to ask him your usual question, which does not fit, given what he says. When I point this out you shfit the subject to the comic strip writer.
Right, let's pin this down objectively. Let's examine and then describe/encompass the precise relationship between Watterson and Calvin. And, sure, why not, Hobbes. Let's determine [epistemologically] the extent to which the nihilism embodied by either of them is or is not in sync with the manner in which I construe moral nihilism "here and now" myself.
And what of Miss Wormwood, Susie, Dad, Mom, Uncle Max, the school bully Moe and Rosalyn? How are they conveyed in coping with and/or challenging Calvin's nihilistic bent?
Instead, you go back to huffing and puffing, to making me the issue:

I have already addressed this on the threads above. The two you seem to have skedaddled from of late.
Are you fucking kidding me?!! In my view, you really need to ask yourself what it is about me that propels this sort of reaction.
I already have my own suspicions.
