Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 11, 2012

Smart kid.

Muttonhead threw the genious in the ditch

I love Hobbes’ expression in the 3rd panel and love the 4th panel altogether.

Be careful who you criticize, Calvin.

That certainly was dramatic.

Did Calvin do that to himself?

that kid will never have enough of drama

Calvin’s been reading the comments…considering the age of these strips, his foreshadowing is eerie.

Tristesse goodbye!!

snerk

I do believe this is the the first time we’ve been treated to a pair of talking feet.

More like a comedy of errors and your blunder certainly put a smile on my face.

@orinoco womble: Yes, today’s strip does sound a lot like this comment forum.Some people come here seeking harmony.Some people come here seeking division.Some people come here seeking humor.Some people come here seeking insight.Some people come here seeking brevity.So, here is a comment on today’s strip that is designed to satisfy all of those people, using only 14 words:“Bill Watterson is teaching us how to get along with each other, you fools!”

The world needs more rudeness and disrespect. It’s nice to see the younger generation carrying on the tradition (the little miscreants).

Susie has planted Calvin head-first in the snow on a few occasions, but I think Hobbes is the only one to do it in plain dirt.

We all gotta make a stand somewhere, right?

@neatslob: Sometimes Calvin is planted in the dirt after his wagon flies off a cliff. Unfortunately, sometimes people who fall off the wagon can end up planted in the dirt permanently.Let’s see……. brevity, insight, and humor…… three out of five.Gotta work on that harmony and division.

I didn’t know Calvin was the one who began reality tv shows! Makes sense somehow . .

Calvin discovers a universal principle and its consequences.

@Vonne Anton: Don’t feel bad. You can still be the first one today to elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills.

I’m sure you could find other ways to add drama to your day, Calvin….

Panel 2: The American political process, defined in one sentence.

Way to go, Hobbes!

Love the eye roll in the 3rd Panel.

@Vonne Anton: Well, you thanked BluePumpkin for some kind words. Hopefully you’ll share some of them with the rest of us in the future. (Oh boy, here we go again……)

:>)

SambaDRAMA!

Calvin got what he asked for!

=)

Yes Hobbes is taking part in this experiment.To prove Calvin right.

If anyone seriously makes life changing decisions based on a comic strip from a couple decades ago, they are taking advice from people they don’t know, and who’s advice and opinions are derived from human perspectives; near sighted at best.

I am aware we are in a phase of hero worship currently with the Olympics taking place, but after the fortnight is over, it will be life as we know it. There is plenty of hero worship here, day to day, if that’s what one likes. My take on it; it’s more of worshiping the creation, rather than the Creator. If one thinks the abilities these athletes have perfected came from evolution, it’s sad. I would rather admire the one used to create these abilities than elevate humans to godlike status, regardless of where they are found. I’d also prefer his advice for life. Please, before you go off, don’t ignore the first four words of this paragraph.

I think the medals are usually for hard work.

And if I hear any rubbish said against evolution I’ll call you on it. Don’t be spreading such noodles in front of the kids.

Hobbes is quick. Quick indeed.

@Vonne Anton: No, not fishing. Afraid I might catch a bullhead. :>)

@Vonne Anton: OK, so it’s still a dull day, but we’ve added a small amount of drama.

@bmonk those darn kids today. Yes we were all ‘those darn kids’. I know I was. :-)

Calvin never learns to keep his mouth shut.

Sanctimony and arrogance will make you a member of the “plunge” committee…

If anyone’s a “muttonhead” around here . . . it’s the little boy who’s upside down with his head buried in the dirt!!!!! ;-)

Well, he’s the muttonhead himself by getting his head buried in the dirt.

Yea I had growing pains when I was a kid too. Need some water Calvin?

why does Calvin keep insulting Hobbes? he knows he can destroy him
