![Tira dominical de Calvin e Haroldo, em dez quadrinhos dispostos em três faixas. No primeiro, os dois estão deitados no chão com um livro, e Calvin lê: "It says here that ‘religion is the opiate of the masses.’ ... What do you suppose that means?". No segundo aparece só um televisor ligado, e a resposta: "... it means Karl Marx hadn’t seen anything yet...". Na segunda faixa, quatro quadrinhos: Haroldo pergunta "What are you watching?"; Calvin responde "Garbage. This show would insult a 6-year-old! And I should know."; em primeiro plano, Haroldo insiste "So why watch it?" e Calvin retruca "All the other shows are even worse!"; em seguida Haroldo pergunta "Why watch TV at all then?" e Calvin responde "There’s nothing to do.". Na terceira faixa, Haroldo aparece em close, de braços abertos: "Nothing to do?! You could read a book! Or write a letter! Or take a walk!"; depois, já calmo: "When you’re old, you’ll wish you had more than memories of this tripe to look back on.", e Calvin concorda: "Undoubtedly.". Os dois últimos quadrinhos não têm falas: ambos seguem sentados diante da televisão. [Tira em preto e branco, assinada por Watterson; fonte images1.fanpop.com.]](/uploads/uerj-2016-029.png)

![Página dominical de Calvin e Haroldo, sob o título "Calvin and Hobbes by Watterson", em oito quadrinhos. No primeiro, Calvin fareja o ar: "What’s that smell?". No segundo: "Either Mom’s cooking dinner, or somebody got sick in the furnace duct.". Em seguida, na cozinha: "Boy, does it stink in here! What are you cooking for dinner?!" e "Whatever it is, I’m not eating it.", ao que a mãe responde, mexendo a panela: "I’m stewing some monkey heads.". Calvin repete: "Monkey heads?", e ela completa: "They’ll be soggy enough to eat in about twenty minutes.". Depois, sozinho: "Really?? We’re having monkey heads? We are not. ... Are those really monkey heads?", e logo: "I’ve never had monkey heads before! I wonder what they’re like." e "Wow! Monkey heads!". No último quadrinho, à mesa, ele experimenta: "Mm... kinda squishy? Ooh look, is that a nose? What’s this? Brains? I didn’t think they’d be so rubbery...", enquanto o pai reage: "What? I thought these were stuffed peppers. Honey, what the heck is this?? Whatever it is, I’m not eating it!". [Página em preto e branco, assinada por Watterson, com a data 8-14.]](/uploads/espm-2012-068.png)
