Calvin and Hobbes cartoon?

April 21, 2021 6:29 PM

Where can I find the Calvin and Hobbes cartoon with a caption about "lie awake and think about all the wonderful things that have happened"?

Sometime, probably between 2006 and 2011 or so,, a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon appeared. Calvin is lying his bed, saying to Hobbes, "Do you ever lie awake and think about all the wonderful things that have happened?"
I clipped this and put it into a small frame, but somehow through the years, it got lost. I'd like to find it, re-frame it now.

Any and all suggestions are welcome! I'm hopeful since in the past, hive members have come through for me with lost poems from Harper's and The New Yorker, as well as Nancy Drew quotes and scenarios.

Thank you, everyone.

I couldn't find that exact phrase, but you could play around with it in the Calvin and Hobbes Search Engine.

To clarify, you're asking about a photoshop or a comic with the caption added later, right? Calvin and Hobbes ended in 1995. There's very little material that appeared afterwards.

You might have some luck trawling through gocomics?

Response by poster: Oh, so maybe I got the strip wrong then. I'm pretty sure of the dates 2006-2011. Maybe it was Peanuts, with Charlie Brown asking Snoopy the question?

Charlie Brown had a lot of strips where he was awake in bed.

Could it have been this one? You can search for phrases across comics on GoComics, and buy a print of the one you find.

I think some papers continued to run Calvin and Hobbes reruns so it could still have been that.

Best answer: Doesn't quite match the description, but searching the Peanuts Search Engine for the word "happened" brought up this comic:

Response by poster: Thank you, adventitious, that's the one! Greatly appreciate it!
I must have seen in the reruns, in the 2000s.
