*Although the stars and the unfathomable nature of the universe made Calvin uncomfortable, the window appears to be slightly nudged open. It shows how the will to know the answer to the bigger question remains, but it is being covered intentionally to allow us to live in our cozy environment.*

Hobbes posture with his hands on the couch make him appear as if he has given up, not only on Calvin, but humanity itself. Maybe because he finally realised the goal of humans; to centralise oneself.

Calvin is shown with a remote controller, this is meant to be a way for Calvin to overcome the way he felt before, the lack of control he experienced. Calvin armed with the remote feels more in control of his life than he did outside, where he was given a reality check. Watterson cleverly uses this to highlight the things that we tend to do when we face a problem.

Negative Space
Panel- The strip is set up into 3 different panels. Each of the panels have a different job in terms of setting up the punchline.
Gutter- The gradually moves to right throughout the 3 panels to show the passage of time. We can assume that in the first slide, he just finished reading the book.

Negative Space- The negative space is the centre of attention in the opening panel, and the message of the strip lies on creating the contrast observed through the three panels.
Panels- The panels do not particularly have a set distance between them, as the second panel overlaps the first. Two of the panels are bound by a framework.
Gutter-Calvin and Hobbs appear to have gone back inside and changed his clothes, showcasing how we tend to prefer comfort over change, both the mentality and physicality as well. Since all of us know what a life in the third panel constitutes of, the transition amongst panels is not shown.
Emanata- The lines drawn along the television set, telephone and speaker appear to jumping and creating different types of sounds; with an idea of grabbing, or at least keeping, Calvin's attention
Camera Angle- It is central to the message of the comic strip itself. In the first panel the dark night sky is centralised, with the negative space filled with darkness and the stars. This angle corners the two main characters, showcasing the scale of humanity; how minuscule we are compared to the allure of universe.
Which changes in the next two panels as the camera is now focused on the characters, and in the third panel it centralises the characters. The tables have been turned, now those appliances are the minuscule beings.
Punchline- The fact that humans will never leave their comfort zones, and will try to only approach problems that they created themselves. Humans are well, lazy.

Negative space- Little to no background detail. Few trees, bushes and rocks added that are indicative of the fact that they are walking through nature, the rest of the  panel is given for Calvin to develop his thoughts and arguments about his dilemma
Speech Bubble- Sometimes the speech bubble is forgone for the writing is on the background- to give enough space for Calvin's arguments, the empty background helps.

Panel- Each panel has Calvin and Hobbes walking through different terrain and climbing over rocks, this symbolises the importance of the conversation

Punchline- The humorous part of the comic comes in when it is revealed that the reason.
