Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 20, 2014

Don’t expect to be invited to many parties.

So it’s better, Cal!!

You’ll have it down pat by the time you are 13, Calvin!!! ;)

Isn’t it more like losing seven years?

No desserts for you!

Don’t forget to memorize obscure personal information about the latest pop music sensation . Someone being a convicted abuser of bisexual animals is always a big conversation starter for a teen.

Adding time in Calvin’s case is like killing time it would seem. Adding by subtraction literally makes Calvin a kid for life…

One thing for sure, he will never be elected the eight grade class president.

Calvin is learning to do a sneer so that people at social occasions won’t pardon the expression.

The most insignificant people are the most apt to sneer at others. They are safe from reprisals. And have no hope of rising in their own self esteem but by lowering their neighbors.— William Hazlitt (1778-1830)

Of course, when you WANT to have a conversation, then it gets to be a problem…

Sigh, the things I missed out on by never having kids….

Calvin’s life plans are pretty advanced for a 6-year-old. Although, maybe not for today’s 6-year-olds…

masterskrain: Have you noticed the Bush sneer on Perry’s mug shot?

Calvin is six, going on sixteen…

All you political commentators are so damn tiresome Grow up!… it’s just a comic strip!

It pays to be prepared!

It is 7 Years.

@LinusF: The very early Peanuts strips are a lot of fun, because Snoopy is still a “real” dog, but he doesn’t exactly act the way that you would expect a real dog to act. Similarly, in Calvin and Hobbes, Hobbes is a “real” stuffed tiger, but he doesn’t exactly act the way that you would expect a real stuffed tiger to act.I think that’s right………..Hmmmm………….

frank corona: Politics is for those who haven’t grown up? “We do not say he who is not involved in politics is minding his own business; we say he has no business here at all.” Pericles, in the part of the funeral oration contrasting the Athenian proto-democracy with the other surrounding city states.
