Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 08, 2013

Much luck for greatness and celebrity. Real celebrity is not selfish. Real celebrity takes care for others, too!

And greatness has its drawbacks also.

Y’all haven’t even really seen the magnitude of Calvin’s delusions of grandeur yet. This isn’t even close to what he’s convinced is going to happen!

i have to agree with Calvin’s statement in the last panel!!!

Wrong Calvin. Watterson never won Pulitzer Prize.

You know, the more I read Calvin and Hobbes…the more I think Calvin reeeeally needs a good spanking…

I shudder to imagine what calvin would be like if he was half as great as his assumptions.

That last statement is pretty profound, someone is going to pick up on it and repeat it, we will know where it came from.

… Like getting the Nobel Peace Prize before you actually do anything to deserve it.

Santa had the same problem. In the movie, “Miracle on 34th Street,” (the 1947 black-and-white version is the best one), Kris Kringle was on trial for claiming to be Santa Claus, and the judge was unable to dismiss the case unless Kris’s defense attorney could find someone in authority to back him up.

You’d think Calvin designed Daystrom’s M5 unit. It didn’t turn out to be so great though.

We know Calvin is destined to take last place, but wouldn’t be fun IF he did win? Of course if that did happen, the panels are too small to contain his head!

It’s true, I know someone who rescued with true unselfish heroism, I didn’t believe, that someone will do that before!

Hahahaha funny voice

“Fabulous Moolah”

Calvin usually is his own final authority!

You have greatness Calvin, he’s standing right beside you. I just confirmed it. Your welcome.

Once again, Calvin proves the difference between confidence and conceit.

For some, a diploma works just this way: it’s the confirmation of an authority that they are educated. Those who are truly educated need no confirmation.

I think Calvin & Hobbes are truly AWESOME! Not just great…

Is Bill Watterson not writing anymore? I remember these strips from the book “Homocidal Psycho Jungle Cat” which came out when I was just a kid.

I have a sneakin suspicion he will be “awarded” a trip to the principals office!(Sorry if this is a repeat)

After having worked on and off as an extra in the film industry for nearly thirty years, I’m still only vaguely famous…
