Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

Reminds me of that day in 2015 I tried to commit su*cide by intentional hyponatremia. because I'm a hydrohomie and I really love water and my body is accustomed to drinking a lot of water, so I thought excessive hydration would be a nice way to check out of this torturous earthly existence.
(Edit: DISCLAIMER: NSFW DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS!)
I set a goal and stayed on schedule drinking 1 gallon per hour.
well apparently hyponatremia hits differently for different people. The effect it had on me was:
first vomiting the extra water, But I was persistent and kept drinking more,
and of course lots of peeing, within an hour my pee was crystal clear,
Next, the only way I can describe how it felt was that every cell in my body felt puffy.
I kept drinking,
Then dizziness, the room is spinning
so after 5 hours of constant drinking, peeing, vomiting water, feeling cellularly puffy, dizzy, then still drinking more, for 5 hours, I was exhausted and disappointed that I wasn't dead yet, so gave up & fell asleep.
next day I woke up fine but feeling actually pretty awesome because super hydrated. Felt physically awesome & healthy, so it gave me a little more courage to keep moving forward with this miserable earthly existence.
Task failed successfully! Hope you're doing better these days!
Aye! 😄
Odd way to try to kill yourself.
Yup I'm an odd one for sure.
