Calvin and Hobbes Quote

The Bill Watterson strip "Calvin and Hobbes" ran for a surprisingly short ten years (1985-95), but it maintains a loyal following and for some reason is extremely popular in Norway.

My friend Pelin Guler of Istanbul, Turkey, sent me this quote from the series:

"It's psychosomatic. You need a lobotomy, get a saw."

Incidentally, Calvin (the boy) was named for 16th century theologian John Calvin and Hobbes (the tiger) was named for 17th century philosopher Thomas Hobbes.
