From the 14 February 1994 "Calvin and Hobbes" by Bill Watterson:

• Calvin: "I wish I had amazing super powers"
• Dad: "If you work and study real hard for years and years, you could develop the powers you already have."
• Calvin: "Maybe I can find a radioactive meteorite that mutates me into a living liquid."
  Dad: "Try to find one that mutates you into someone with a work ethic."
