Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist

HOBBES: A new decade is coming up.
CALVIN: Yeah, big deal! Hmph. Where are the flying cars? Where are the Moon colonies? Where are the personal robots and the zero gravity boots, huh? You call this a new decade?!

HOBBES: Frankly, I'm not sure people have the brains to manage the technology they've got.
CALVIN: I mean, look at this! We still have the weather?! Give me a break!

Calvin & Hobbes
