Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 05, 2010

I’m with you Hobbes!

Mom and Dad are with you too, Hobbes.

Hobbes was the smart one!

Good move, Hobbes!

G’Morning, Mike, Marg & Grog!

If only getting rid of politicians were that easy.

Good that he didn’t say that to his Mom. He would have been dumped in the deepest part of Pacific.

Guess the room isn’t going to get cleaned any time soon.

I feel even more mess coming up

Calvin, you are not the organizer any more. You are being properly organized inside the trash can. Well done Hobbes !

If Calvin put more energy into doing work instead of telling Hobbes what to do, the room would be clean already.

Nice animation of Calvin here, everybody!

Oh weedersea, that’s what I keep feeling with my kids, too!

looking forward later…

I think this is how my kids used to do it.

Oh, hey, hey!

twinsnake_coatl, I’m thinking if only getting rid of corporate CEOs and managers were that easy!

It’s a poor job that does not have at least one supervisor.

our managers are just like calvin.. how i wish i can do wot hobbes just did :)

We could really use someone like Hobbes in DC… Hmm, and another Hobbes in Lansing, as well.

ha ha ha! LOL Hobbes, take him to the new york city dumpster! THat should cure him of his hyperness!

Looove Hobbes’ look in panel 3. Classic Watterson!

Calvin, in order to supervisor you need four men leaning on shovels and a clipboard. A cop making double time drinking coffee doesn’t hurt. BREAK TIME!

Happy Birthday, Bill Waterson!!

I’m laughing inside and out

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠

I had a boss who brought out the same feelings in me as Calvin did in Hobbes. Hmmmn

Sic semper bossy bosses.

I think Hobbes thinks calvin is speaking balderdash.That leads him to be truculent.

Yeah, get rid of the Organizer!

Lewreader: Can you explain how a cop can make “double time drinking coffee”? Maybe it soemhow relates to the time he spends in court on his own time?

‘Morning Mike and Loki.

The expressions on Hobbes face mirrors todays American Voter. I’m definately doing some tossing on election day.

FLAGGED

Ha, Hobbes’ very first move just got the job 90% done!

Good for Hobbes!

TN-REDD, Howard Cosell once scolded Muhammad Ali by saying, “You’re being extremely truculent”, to which Ali replied, “Whatever ‘truculent’ means, if that’s good, I’m that.”

way 2 go hobbes!!! nice work!

The tiger is ‘tuff’. He don’t take no ‘guff’. How’s that for erudition, grammar, and spelling?

Thanks for the link, Weedersea

Hey they took off my comments about POTUS,Barney Frank,speaker of the house,Harry Reed…..ect. Wonder why.??

this is so funny! i wish bill w. would come out of retirement

Calvin is “The Decider”, because of the mandate in his own mind.

Puddleglum2: Thanks for the new word. Again… ”Erudition.” Please correct me if I’m wrong. Does “Erudition” accurately discribe yourself ?

TN-REDD, Are you saying that you think erudition accurately describes me? If you say the wrong answer, I might become truculent. BTW, how is it that iterate and reiterate mean the same thing? I was about to use iterate instead of say, but it means repeat as does reiterate???

**Good morning Marg! Good morning Fran and Kizzzy! Good Morning L’Wolf! Good Morning Grog!**

If he had his beanie propeller hat he could use it as a leaf blower…that would help.

Looks like you’ve been organized into a round file, Calvin.

What’s the name and number of the union the tiger belongs to?

There is something humbling about being thrown in the garbage by one’s own stuffed animal - rather than the usual (which is vice-versa). Probably a healthy development.

That’s showing him who’s really boss, Hobbes!

But that misses the whole point, which is to not clean the room, or at least take as long as possible.

Hobbes leads by example.

DSOM A cop making double time drinking coffee might have something to do with the fact most cops doing construction work are working overtime, paid by the construction company. This pads their retirement so the end up making more retired than their salary. Of course this is paid by the poor city tax payer. Unions have municipalities by a strangle hold. Since they retire so young (20 years on the job) they collect for a long time.

LOL. Love it!

Puddleglum2 said, “BTW, how is it that iterate and reiterate mean the same thing?”

Good one. I think iterate has a technical connotation to it also- to repeat. This makes me wonder. Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same? Cleave has two meanings that are antonyms (separate or cut and come or be in close contact).

Hobbes wants to go to strip clubs not watch Calvin. In the trash can!!!

Too many people in management lilke this. Even when they loaf, they are resting after making such “tough” decisions.

More likely wondering if they will be found out that their so called talents are over rated and be laid off and the job be done just as well or better overseas at a fraction of the cost these overpaid pukes are paid.

“I’m the organizer” sounds like a jab at G.W. Bush’s “I’m the decider” statement, except that Calvin said it nearly 20 years before Bush.

This might be a commentary about how rich company owners do jacksh*t amounts of work compared to all their employees, yet gets paid more money then all his employees combined, while his employees are called lazy, while the owner is called hardworking. i,e,) Jeff Bezos.
