Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 29, 2011

What’s a matter, Calvin, tiger got ya by the tail?!

Hobbes, I believe you’re right!

I wonder what seams Hobbes has busted already? This is early C&H, so his biggest adventures are yet to come……

They belong together! One is not so much without the other!

I love Hobbes’ expression in the last panel. XD Mom and Dad would agree with you Hobbes.

Doesn’t everyone want another tiger?

I doubt that very much. She probably wanted a girl…..just like Suzy Derkins.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠.

Who did Mom and Dad adopt, Calvin or Hobbes?

I love these old ones!

As I recall, real tigers are native to Asia, including India. And an old proverb from India says something like, “He who rides a tiger cannot dismount.” (i.e., sometimes it is more dangerous to stop doing a dangerous thing than it is to continue doing it.) Hobbes is a Terrific Tiger – wherever he came from. :-)

Only 14 comments this late in the day! Where is everybody? Usually about 40 or more on this site.

Here in Durban, South Africa, the whole nation, almost, has been watching the Comrades’ Marathon. More than 19,000 entrants in probably the most gruelling road race in the world. Not over yet.

We have the big Ski to Sea Race today, with 500 teams and 7 members per team, we have a lot of competitors. The skiers are already up at the Mt. Baker Ski area awaiting the start. I don’t know if there is a team Tiger, but wouldn’t be surprised.

What’s argue for? Hobbes ’s best friend for Calvin _

Well, tigers are an endangered species.

This was the first, right? After this, Hobbes started pouncing on Calvin as he came home from school and in the front door.

were is the first tiger ? if i remember right, calvin caught hobbes with a tuna sandwhich to begin with. or was hobbes hiding from calvin for 4 or 5 years?

I love the wordplay on ‘gathered.’

Live long, Calvin and Hobbes!

Hubby checked at local markets and leg quarters some areas are sold out. Lots of barbecuing. Some are at lakes. We are here.

So Hobbes said Mom wanted a tiger but got Calvin if that were right she should be able to see Hobbes

With a kid like Calvin, this Mom’s work is never done!

I wanted another tiger too….;)

Indy 500 going on in USA.

To Calvin on the last statement: Ouch!

It’s a lot cheaper to sew up Hobbes’ boo-boos than Calvin’s, since Mom can’t do them herself!

As I said last time I saw this strip—I like the subtle irony of Mom in the first two panels—so I “gathered.”

Last panel Hobbes said She wanted another tiger did she have a tiger like Hobbes before Calvin was born ?

Hi TeresaI agree that we don’t want to lose the meaning of Memorial Day, but I also see the cookouts and parties as a chance to enjoy the freedom that so many died to preserve. I think the best way to celebrate Memorial Day is to attend a ceremony honoring veterans or visit the cemetery in the morning, and then use the rest of the day to enjoy our freedom with friends or family.

“So I gathered” !!! I just LOVE puns like that!

Said the guy with the 3 Stooges handle! ;D

This was the first C&H — sorry, I don’t know how to do the link-up…http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1985/11/18

So! The tiger came first!

Could be?!
