minus-squarepelespiritlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 months agoSo Calvin was 6 in 1985 when this comic started, that means he would be 46 years old. I wonder what he would be up to now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

minus-squareSanguinePar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoAwww, that’s very sweet. Although the last panel does slightly break the rules :-)
minus-squarethreelonmusketeerslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-22 months ago Calvin was 6 in 1985 when this comic started Calvin was also 6 in 1995 when this comic ended. There’s nothing to indicate that he wouldn’t still be 6.
minus-squareShdwdrgn@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoThe year 2000 was a century leap-year, therefor Calvin could be 7 now. That would also imply he’s at least 2400 years old by our normal timekeeping.
minus-squarethreelonmusketeerslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 months agoWait, why? Does Calvin age only on leap days or something?
minus-squareShdwdrgn@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoNot Calvin specifically, but pretty much all cartoon characters age really slowly, if at all. And since a leap-century only happens once every 400 years, it seemed appropriate enough to match their apparent immortality.
