Retirement Advice from Calvin and Hobbs

Retirement?

Oh, that’s what other people do.

This old Calvin and Hobb’s cartoon pretty well sums it up for me:

I’ve got to many worlds to conquer.

I’m not a loaf of bread and I come with no expiration date.

I’m not ready to clear the shelf.

Artwork by Bill Waterson. And so’s the quote!
