I'm not american, but I hate how jews have used their position with hollywood media to make satirising and denigrating all forms of joy some kind of symbol of being cool, edgy, or smart. It's been accelerated in the last 20 years. Nowadays having fun is all about 'making fun', and it's kind of sad.

Sorry you're soulless.

I don't think he acts mature. He acts like a children. His thoughts sometimes resemble of an adult but his actions are mere of a child. It's more like the deviations of the author and how it's, like you said, shattered by Hobbes in the end.
I like this about C&H is that he still keeps his childish manners. In most of the online comics that try to copy it, the kid just ends up being an insufferable know-it-all fag.

Calvin is a little consumerist bourgeois pig. And his boomer parents and Hobbes are there to say, "Whoa brother, remember the dream of the sixties, okay, little man?"

Aging hippies went from Doonesbury (post-university disillusionment) to Bloom County (agrarian escapism) to outright infantalism as their ideals failed.
