I always thought this one was stupid because he doesn’t make the distinction between linear velocity and angular velocity. It’s only confusing because he has omitted necessary information.
Okay just imagine two circles. There is a point at the bottom of each circle where the circle touches a piece of paper.
A line is drawn where that point is across the sheet as each circle makes one full rotation in 1 minutes time.
Obviously, the line on the larger circle will be larger than the line on the smaller circle, even though they made the same rotation, so even though they have the same numbers of revolutions per minute, the larger circle is moving faster, so it's velocity is faster at the same ratio as the diameter of the two circles.
I like to believe I have a colorful and fairly large vocab since I grew up in a reading household and was obsessed with dictionary’s word of the day for years. However, I am an awful speller.
I blame the fact that the English language is actually three languages in a trenchcoat pretending to be it’s own language.
Sadly I’ve still yet to get “Bugles” on the board…as a word for points I mean, definitely spilled some in the past O.o
It’s awesome how Calvin’s non-entity status here is shown through the framing of the last panel. It’s like Susie, and Hobbes, and even Watterson agree.
When I was 10, I sat down to write what I intended to be my first novel. Originally, it was titled “17 Years”, but then I changed it to be “12 Years” because I figured I’d be finished with it around age 12 and by then, I’d know what it was like to have lived for 12 years.
No. I realized after about 100 handwritten pages that it was a stupid idea. The next year, however, I started on a slightly less stupid novel that I finished four years later when I was 15. ☺️
My youngest of 4 is now 17. In all of my years of being a father, only twice did my kids wake up before me on Christmas. Most years we had too wake the kids to get the presents started.
44 year old Calvin would probably make a decent candidate. He’s already pretty articulate for a 6 year old, very creative, and shenanigans aside seems to have a good heart.
I really like that Calvin, even though he probably cut out the slice, seems disappointed in Hobbes here. He doesn’t want to ruin Suzie’s party; he just wants some cake.
