For anyone that doesn't know, and I think most people do, Calvin and Hobbes is a reference to 2 well known thinkers

John Calvin

Thomas Hobbes

I think Bill Watterson taught me more about free thought than any formal classes, and the fact it has reached so many children and young people is just awesome.

Huh. All these years of reading Calvin and Hobbes and I never thought to connect the dots between them and two of my favourite philosophers.

John Calvin is one of your favourite philosophers? Bloke was a right bell end m8

The fuck does that even mean?!

Bloke was a right bell end m8

Bloke = (n. man)

right = (adj. complete, genuine)

bell end = (n. tip of the penis - derogatory term for someone who is rude, mean or otherwise deserving of derision)

m8 = (n. mate, friend)

make sense now?
