Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 25, 2012

Just like when Charlie Brown gets hit by a baseball, the shoes have to go flying off!

True, true, Hobbes! Poor Calvin!

You’re right, Calvin. The night of Obama’s re-election was an eternity.

I especially love Hobbes’ expression in panel 5 (or is it “frame” 5 in the case of this animation), particularly compared to the last panel. This is a brilliant piece of cartooning! Four dimensions mapped into two! A roomfull of mathematicians couldn’t do it half as well and could never do it to be comprehensible to the average person (much less a 6-year-old kid)

At my age things must be going good ,because they sure are going fast enough?

One man’s meat is another man’s poison!

I remember those very well, my sister loved them, could sit and fiddle with them for hours when we were little.

Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat

panel 10 is best…

If time did move so slowly, you’d think Calvin would be able to get out of harm’s way.

Love that, number 6!I remember one day in elementary the substitute teacher sat us down and showed us how to make our own flip-books. It was raining hard, no recess outdoors, but we were fascinated for a good hour with our projects. Even my terrible pencildrawing looked pretty cool when we flipped through the book. Everybody wanted to see everybody else’s neat ideas. That was one sub who didn’t have any trouble!

They should make a separate comic strip about what is really happening.

The last 4 years have moved at a near stand still. The next 4 will probably move backwards.

I love it!

Especially the colours.

What an exciting imagination. Mine were never that good at that age.

I so never get tired of these. Thanks Number Six – loved seeing it in animation.

I always read this one twice- once slowly (Calvin’s perspective) and once fast (Hobbes’ perspective)

When I fall in front of other people, I go in slow motion. When I fall alone, I just die about eight times and then get up.

I love the strips where Hobbes pounces on Calvin!

I wonder if Calvin knows Lio they would make a great pair.

Huh?

Re whitecarabao that last panel also is a statement of the times, the best of times the worst of times? First timer

True. The weekend is over in 2 seconds while the week takes 2 years.

Love the facial expressions.

Wow!!! Mr. Watterson at his best!

Hear, Hear,

Love the artwork on this one.

The front door to Calvin’s house opens into the lobby of the World Wrestling Federation apparently…

OMG I have that book!

Genial!

I just love Calvin and Hobbs. what an imagination of bonding here.

Wonderful, everything is possible, no need for 3D!

Has somebody animated this?
