Just wait a while, Calvin, and you’ll see. Until your eyes swell shut.

poor Calvin..

Open mouth; insert foot; have foot crammed deeper into throat by neanderthal; kiss the family jewels godbye on the way by.

I saw a show on tv the other night, and one guy with slick hair kept trying to bully the other guy. They called it a debate.

In the 60s and 70s it was “oh ignore it, he’s only doing it for attention, if you don’t respond he’ll stop.” Guess what? That doesn’t work. But that was before the days when kids came to school packing heat. “They’re just kids” doesn’t cut it anymore.

“Packing heat.”…Lord did I just date myself!

Lot of that going ’round, Calvin.

Calvin and Hobbes: one of my favs.

To paraphrase Al Capone, Calvin, you can get much further with a kind word……….and a ball bat, than with a kind word.

Awwwwww! Calvin’s face in the 3rd Panel is so cute.

Anyone want to guess whether or not Calvin is wearing his shoes and laying in a crumpled heap in panel 5 (not shown)?

Calvin shouts at Moe.Calvin now wishes egowould use call waiting.

Where is Margueritem?

…i have so often removed my foot from my mouth simply in order to insert the other one even more deeply, that i have pretty much quit talking to new aquaintances for most of a first meeting…it seems to be a nervous habit, once i get to know them better, the foot in mouth symptoms seem to subside…

Remember that most of this strip is seen through Calvin’s eyes. The bully may not be as big and threatening in real life.

The ego can write checks the butt can’t cash… but at least there will be witnesses and a teacher in gym class so it won’t be TOO easy to get a beating without him getting caught. ;-)

At least Calvin’s brain told him that his ego got in the way

When in sixth grade a guy told me to ‘shut up’, I said, ‘Make me’. He did. It was a lesson well learned.

Call display ?

@Alain Harper: OK, how about this one:Calvin is a messLying there upon the ground. Bully Moe was here.

Remember that time where he smashed him into the lockers?

What’s funny about bullying ?

Apparently Moeconcluded that Twinkle isthe same as pound cake.

cookies333: I just now left you a message on yesterday’s C&H board in response to your last post to me. Hope you had a great day!!!

There were a couple of bullies I was aware of when I was in Junior High School. They went off my radar for a few years and then came back on when I heard they were chasing some one down one of our narrow New England roads and wound up going full bore into a tree next to the road. The car went up the tree nearly twelve feet and put a huge scar on it. They were both killed instantly, as these were the years when seat belts hadn’t even been invented yet. Over the years the tree began to die. Eventually it was cut down, and the stump was removed as well. The only evidence of any of this remains soley in memory. I realized this when I drove past the place when I went back to my 50th High School reunion and drove about the town where I was raised.

I wasn’t really bullied in school, but was at the bottom of the pecking order. Have outlived most of them!

Haiku is flyingthick and fast this lovely day,…kudos, commenters!

diarrhea of the mouth

What is call-waiting??Please forgive my ignorance

Think before you speak Calvin!

Take Tae Kwon Do, bullies learn to leave you alone :)

That’s so cool! : )

Wow! It’s really nice! You must be really talented! : )
