The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon.

Clockwise from top left:
1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.”

2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”.

3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.”

4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

I made the mistake of telling my then-8yo about the galaxy and the massive black hole at the center… and it became a source of existential dread for him. Trying to explain the size/scale/timelines and that he won’t live that long for it to be a problem wasn’t helpful.

I did Minneapolis to Ft Myers straight through about 28 hours total. It was with my brother and dad, and we’d rotate every 3 to 4 hours. It somehow ended up that I drove through every major metropolitan area. Knowledge of the highway numbering system helped us avoid downtown Atlanta though.
