Feeling gravity's pull


Is there context here beyond what you can see? Oh yes. Watterson was doing something of a serial here, which owes a little to Little Nemo in Slumberland. But in a way you don't need that. Calvin's cycle of panic-inspiration-different "uh-oh" is, well...You do recognize the feeling, don't you?

Yes, I do. No doubt the man's a genius who groks Buddhism too.

That actually seems to be from a Tumblr a C&J fan did with Dune quotes. But Watterson seems to approve, and the quotes very much work in context.
