Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 07, 2010

Greetings to all.

A dire emergency!!!!

And a great good morning and don’t forget to set the clocks back.

Gm all Calvin is back being himself….

Let’s hope they don’t put him on hold

Apparently food that fights back should have a warning label on it.

Hee, hee…. BLORP!.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Mom so apoplectic, and that’s really saying something.

Calvin, if you think Mom’s cooking is bad, just wait till you actually join the navy.

Calvin should call the Army instead and join the infant-ry.

What a food!

And a dire emergency at that! Personally, I like food that fights back: bring on the habaneros - wheeeeee!

I don’t think Calvin will do well in the navy. What would he be good at when he’s older?

Yukoner, I thought the Army was worse.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠

SOS Calvin!

It’s 5:30 am Central. My body doesn’t care, woke up as usual. But what a chance to be an early poster! But can’t beat Marg who posted 7 HOURS ago. Honestly, she has to work at GoComics and is the one who starts the download of the daily comics. I’m not going to read comics till later. This was just a test so I’m back to my easy chair, coffee, and newspaper. But a great Sunday Morning to all you early birds.

hlagallah, Calvin might make a good politician. :-) I don’t think either the army or navy will keep him for very long anyway.

kathryn74 - yeah, Calvin would be a great politician, since he’s so experienced with “smear campaigns” (as above panels attest)… sadly, it’s all on himself, so don’t know how long he’d last out there…

@ saw4fire Thank you so much for the URL for the beginning C/H. I tried it and worked great. Thanks again! For some reason my original address got corrupted.

Good Morning, especially to those of us who “fell back” last night…my body never understands the time difference for at least two days…Calvin must understand that food only fights back when it’s been abused, but I remember seeing that look on my mom’s face when I wouldn’t eat the stewed tomatoes…EWWWW!

Calvin, just one of many fighting a daily battle with food.

Calvin would do well in the Army’s demolition field.

G’Morning Mike Grog & Marg!

The extra hour of sleep was great!

I wasn’t crazy about stewed tomatos either, Linda. In fact, I’m still not.

I slept about the same if not less than the previous night, ♠Lonewolf♠

Oh no! Marg got beaten, and the sun still came up. But an hour later.

Must need Tums, for when your food fights back.

Calvin, the grub in the navy wont be too much better!

The Navy cant give you the protection you want unless maybe your at sea,during a war,and you lied about your age. In Canada,I would guess. Face the facts Calvin,your in deep doo doo.

@ Lonewolf: What extra hour of sleep? With all the clocks these days, you spend the extra hour setting them all back! I vote we abolish DST altogether! It no longer serves its original purpose, and it’s a waste of time (no pun intended).

Calvin: That’s a mighty mean meal!

shuda called in the MARINES!!!

@dragondad02

Marine Corp 1965-1971 I rather do the enemy, them have to tangle with Calvin :-)

Get “Atomic Radio Controlled” clocks - they set themselves.

I have three I need to set; everything else is automatic. Alarm clock by the bed; clock radio in the kitchen, and the one in the car dashboard.

That’s by far the most outraged I’ve ever seen Calvin’s mother!

I’d just settle for the National Guard.

Then there are the devices that automatically change the time for you. Some of which were made before “they” changed the date of the change. Then the question becomes, “Does it or doesn’t it and, if so, when does it?”, and you have to either wait to see, or dig out the owners manual for every device in the house, just to be sure.

We all know that DST is more trouble than it’s worth. It is time to do away with it.

I recently replaced my cell phone. Due to an error on the provider’s part, neither the old or the new one will make or receive calls. But they do turn on and have a display. Identical models, on the same network, yet they now have different times. The old one hasn’t been changed. Last spring it took a couple of weeks and several calls to get it changed. For that whole period I could not count on it, as I had no idea when it might change.

Mom’s so mad her face has turned (blue? purple? gray? … or a combination of the 3!) from lack of oxygen getting to her brain! Poor, poor woman!!!

I love my boy Calvin and his antics always make me smile … even laugh out loud sometimes. But all the same … I’m just sooooo glad he’s not MY son!!!!!!!!!! I’d spend every day of my life with a face the color of hers today!

Lol at the 13th panel :)

Lol at the whole thing, as well as the comments!

BTW, I wonder what Mom would have done if I had treated my oatmeal that way.

Someone warn the Navy not to accept this creature!

Didn’t anyone tell mom that Halloween was last week? What a monster face!

Wow.

I hate Standard Time and wish we could just stay on DST all year long. I like seeing some sunshine in my day when I come out of work and maybe being able to take a walk before it gets dark which will be before 5:00.

Wow, look at the splits of opinion for and against DST.

Personally, I think why not enjoy the daylight and the seasons as they come and be done with it? They’re meant to teach us some deep-seated lessons and we’ve isolated ourselves from them enough as it is.

I really don’t care if it’s Standard or DST, but let’s stay on one or the other. Changing is just silly, and inconvenient.

My state doesn’t change, and I love it!

Mom looks like a skeleton’s skull face. Creepy!

At your age, Calvin, you’d need your mom’s written consent to enlist, and judging by her expression, I don’t think you’d have any problems getting it right now.

Best… Angry…. Face…. EVER!!!

Boy I’d hate to be around if his mom got madder than that! I bet there would be a nuclear explosion!
