Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 01, 2011

For Hobbes, that is heaven.

Hobbes has a point!

Smooches galore!

In the words of Joe E. Brown, “Well, nobody’s perfect!”

“Le Jazz Hot”!!!!

No, Hobbes believes in Hell. Everybody knows the sax and the accordion are the instruments of Hell.

(then explain why I like them so much from time to time)

Saxophon and organ!

Yes there is a heaven Calvin!

Foolish man buy wife grand piano. Wise man get wife upright organ.

It’ll be heaven for somebody – but probably not Calvin.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠

So heaven is Big Easy Sax with a bunch of playgirls?

Works for me!

Isn’t the definition of a gentleman: “A man who can play a saxophone but doesn’t?” Or is that an accordion?

So apparently Hobbes has decided that New Orleans is preferable to Pittsburgh (see the May 20th strip). A big welcome to those of you who have come over from Comics.com and discovered our group.

Is hobbes a Muslim? Paradise consists of endless sax?

Hobbes, I have to agree with Hobbes. But then I might prefer New Orleans to most cities.

I’m an atheist but I might reconsider!

Has anyone on here ever heard of the Heyerman brothers and their blog “Pants are overrated”? In it they have a strip where Calvin is 32 yrs old, is married to Suzie and they have a little girl named Bacon. (after philosipher Francis Bacon of course)

Hobbes has been watching “Some Like It Hot!”

I think, Calvin hates girls? Ok, than a boy band!

The sax is a wonderful instrument. All four types are quite popular in jazz. Everybody knows the insruments of choice in Hell are the accordian and BAGPIPES (you beat me to the punch Lewreader).

Talk about reminiscing, I’ve haven’t read this comic in years. I hope it still go as I remembered.

!!!!! Heaven….

As long as the cabaret isn’t into fuzzy kisses! (see: May 26, 2011)

good stuff

“Call it what you like!”Most people do.BTW, if Papa Ant in B.C. had ‘hit the roof’ instead of just the ceiling, he might be on his way to heaven, or Johnny might be!

“You Beat Me to the Punch” – Mary Wells (1962)Maybe musicnut1986 likes Motown better than BAGPIPES.

OK Hobbes New Orleans dont want you to be too disappointed but bring your fishing pole because this heaven your talking about is right smack in the Rocky’s where two clear streams meet and its summer all the time.

He said sax, I heard; ♫ Turn the Page ♫

What’s better than roses on your piano? Tulips on your organ.

I’m afraid I no longer have the wind for that orchestra…

Hobbes is deep, and witty, and… and there are times when I don’t understand him.

Sax, accordion, violin, organ, piano… yep, altogether I’d say that would make a pretty hellish sound.

I just had my account converted from comics.com, & found Calvin & Hobbes. Just curious…Does GoComics ever publish it in color? I know they said there was a glitch earlier today & some strips that are normally in color were showing up in black & white, so I thought I’d see what I could find out about this one.

^ The ones that were originally published in colour are usually in colour here. This one is so old, it’s before colour was invented! (According to Calvin’s Dad…)

Since when did playing saxophone for an “All-Girl Cabaret in New Orleans” become Calvin’s idea of heaven?!?!? Hobbes I understand because he loves smooches from the girls but Calvin?!? He hates them and thinks they have cooties!

RSS feeds don’t work. What’s the deal? If I’m paying for this service, I want my feeds to be more than a LINK to the site and an ad.

Does anyone know if the cartoonist repeated some of the sunday strips? There are two in the archive that are the same. The ones during 95 are repeats of older sunday strips.

I never used RSS feeds.

Hobbes can be so philosophical for a stuffed toy, but I usually agree with what he says. I’m looking forward to playing saxophone in an all girls cabaret.

Hi jpb6891Calvin and Hobbes ran from 1985 to 1995. Unfortunately, it looks like GoComics has the Sunday strips on the wrong dates, beginning in 1989. The daily strips seem to be OK.There were two periods during the 10-year run when Bill Watterson took a sabbatical. The syndicate published reruns during those periods. Everything beginning in 1996 is a rerun. Some strips have been rerun several times.It’s a very complicated history for such a short-lived comic strip. But Bill Watterson put so much into each strip, often with multiple punch lines, that it’s not surprising that he only drew it for 10 years.

Hi LeslieThe Sunday strips were originally published in color and the daily strips were in black and white. That’s how GoComics shows them. This is different from Peanuts, where the daily strips were originally in black and white, but GoComics shows the recent ones colorized.

Try to keep up dogsniff, he thinks he owns it.

Whatever floats your boat, Hobbes! :^)

OK, I brought up My Comics as usual and it looks as if I got the standard home page. WHERE ARE MY COMICS?
