The Calvin And Hobbes/Fight Club connection

Personaly, I’ve never seen Fight Club, so I don’t get the full effect of this…

lol! Thx. I never saw C&H, but I get the gist of it.

<img src=“http://www.rpgclassics.com/staff/tenchimaru/td.gif”> Haw, that’s great. And if you haven’t watched Fight Club yet, go see it now. Like, right now. It’s great.

In the movie, Fight Club, “Jack” tells Tyler that his father left him when he was 6 years old. In Calvin and Hobbes, his father is still there well through to kindergarten or first grade or whatever. So, even though I knew it was wrong in the first place, it’s even more wrong now :slight_smile:

Yes…but it states several times that Calvin is only six…

Yea, and you’re 6 in kindergarten and 1st grade…

Calvin is six years old through the entire series, so his dad could still leave before he turns seven to make it work.

In the “bathtub” scene of Fight Club, Jack and Tyler discuss their parents. In this scene, key information arises, as do, apparently, large inconsistencies. First the latter. Jack claims his father left when he was six, an age when Calvin’s was obviously still around, but this statement is contradicted soon after, when Tyler mentions his own dad telling him to get married when he was 30, to which Jack responds, “mine said that TOO.” So what this probably amounts to is the self-pitying Jack attempting to garner additional sympathy from his newfound friend by making his childhood sound worse than it actually was.

interesting…
Its a good connection.
Especially the G.R.O.S.S./Fight Club one.
