“Breakfast” was made by Curren$y, a rapper from New Orleans, and Mos Def, a rapper who used to be from Brooklyn but is now a global citizen with universe brain named Yasiin Bey who has transcended both people orientation and international politics as well as the need to rap, sort of. I always find my way back to that strip and Hobbes’s fulfillment in tiny joys when explaining the draw of a song called “Breakfast” and, indeed, the guy who was responsible for crafting it. The final panel depicts Hobbes eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in the kitchen, saying, “I got my wish.” Calvin, upset at his imaginary friend’s lack of vision, says he’d ask for a “trillion billion dollars,” and his own private continent. In one of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes comic strips, Calvin asks Hobbes what he’d wish for if he could have anything in the world at that moment, and Hobbes says he’d like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
