“CALVIN: Here's an ad for a new gum called "Hyperbubble," and it says, "If you're not chewing Hyperbubble, you might as well be chewing your cud.
Ooh, great copy!
CALVIN: Gosh, am I cool enough to chew Hyperbubble? Maybe I'm NOT.
Maybe if you chew Hyperbubble, you BECOME cool
CALVIN: Or maybe if you chew it, everyone ASSUMES you're cool, so it doesn't matter if you are or not!
What do you think?
Should I buy some?
HOBBES: If your emotional security depends on satisfying a need you didn't have until you read the ad, go ahead.
CALVIN: I think I will! Boy, I'm glad I get this magazine.”

“Franny has the measles, for one thing. Incidentally, did you hear her last week? She went on at beautiful length about how she used to fly all around the apartment when she was four and no one was home. The new announcer is worse than Grant - if possible, even worse than Sullivan in the old days. He said she surely dreamt that she was able to fly. The baby stood her ground like an angel. She said she knew she was able to fly because when she came down she always had dust on her fingers from touching the light bulbs.”
