Calvin – our boy has reached the zenith of lifetime experiences by not merely sweating around in the sun. But he has actually worked his wits out to be the one exception to the boys of his age. Barely a 3 inch something, Calvin knows his ways to reach and preach out the Three Very Famous Monkeys that Mahatma Gandhi happened to introduce to the world. Not only this, he showed great character while getting clobbered as he strongly believes in Non-Violence.
Is Calvin the undisputed Mahatma Gandhi of the present era? Read on to find out how all this time Calvin has been enlightening us about the Mahatama’s teachings.
1. SEE NO EVIL:
As a strong disciple of Mahatama, Calvin co-founded the GROSS (Get Rid Of Slimy GirlS) club with Hobbes. He was dedicated and committed to the task and the principles of the club. Check out how he got depressed when his plans backfired one day yet his resolute determination that he didn’t resign the dictatorship.

2. HEAR NO EVIL:
Hang on! You cannot skip the way Calvin took to being gloomy just by thinking of being addressed as something that filthy. Even though he knows he deserves something even worse. But never did he let us realize that he’s trying to pass on the message smoothly- ‘Hear No Evil’.
Just like Gandhi preached to boycott evil hearings with his monkey covering his ears to depict the same, our very own Calvin has been no far behind. Hear all, see all and speak out for freedom and liberty, if you want to live in peace, that’s the way it should be done. Plan ahead to make sure not to hear evil at all and if you have to, be ready with a retort.

Have you ever seen him speaking anything bad no matter how he is being addressed. You never noticed it. Didn’t you? Well, our Calvin does that in a neat and tidy manner. See how he tries to inspire his Dad to work so that one day he can enjoy his retirement.
