I'm not sure what I'm doing at all. Like ever. At all.

Yeah, Calvin's "Tracer Bullet, PI" daydreams aren't as well known as Spaceman Spiff or Stupendous Man, but they've got lots of great lines:

Oh look, it’s entirely possible for a cisgender comedian to crack jokes about transgender people without being transphobic.

[Video description: A 1.5 minute tiktok from curtiscookcomedy of a standup set. The comedian is mixed-race Black and white. He says,

I'm from a mixed-race family, so for my whole life, like, people used to say that mixed-race relationships were too far and they embarrassed themselves and had to live in shame. And in our generation, people said gay marriage was too far, and they embarrassed themselves and had to live in shame. And I was like, "Yo. I never wanna grow up to be the kind of person who says that something is too far because as soon as you do, you bury yourself like a bullshit time capsule along the road to progress."

But recently, I was back home where I'm from in Ohio, and I saw my cousin for the first time in a while, my cousin who for my whole life has been my girl cousin named Katie. And I was like, "Hey Katie, it's great to see you again," and my cousin says, "Actually, Curtis, I'm older now, I'm accepting myself for who I am. I'm in transition and I prefer to go by male pronouns." And I was like, "You know what, dude? I got you. I love you. I support you no matter what. What name would you like to go by now?" And my cousin said, "I prefer to go by Devonte." Uh, and I feel like that would've been cool except this cousin is white [audience laughs], and... that's too far. [he laughs]

I was like, "Yeah, bro, you're a man, but you're not a Black man." [more laughter] And this dude's name is tearing my family apart. 'Cause even people I was worried about having a- I asked my father. I was like, "Dad, you heard about Devonte?" And my dad said, "I'm not calling him that." [laughter] So now everybody compromised, and they just call him "the boy." [laughter] And we've all- I feel bad because we've all talked about it behind this dude's back, and we've all decided he's more of a Greg. [laughter] We're like, "Yeah, bro, you're trans, but you're not interesting." [laughter]
