I believe that this comic is transcendental because hobbes tells calvin that he would wish for a sunny field and calvin tells him he is stupid for saying that but thats how hoobes feels and to me thats transcendental. Xavier Chavez

This comic strip shows transcendental idea because instead of going through a lot of trouble finding the girl-beagle that he loves, Snoopy chose the simple lifestyle and "be happy with what you have" life and continued on with his life. -Jessica

In between the shadows Dormant in the cold Lies hatred everafter Just waiting to unfold

Drifting void All dignity bereft Empathy dead All the dark cravings are suppressed Thoughts Of retribution Instincts concealed Charred remains of decay forlorn

Filled to the point Of agony and pain A submissive mind By hatred gone insane <span style="color: #474747; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 15px;">-Xavier Chavez
