Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 06, 2015
Transcript:
Calvin: "I hate when a lot of kids are on the slide. You wait forever to get to the top and then the ride is over so fast" Calvin: "And if you sit for a moment to enjoy the height, everybody yells at you to get going" Calvin: "And sometimes the idiot behind you starts down too soon and he smacks into you at the bottom before you can get away" Calvin: "Yep, the playground is a LOT more fun after class starts" Teacher: "CALVIN!"

Or the kid behind you goes up the ladder right on your heels, and practically shoves you down the slide.

It’s back to the principal’s office where his record takes up its own cabinet. As for the stupid Hobbes, you are keeping people from seeing legitimate comments.

I’ve yet to see a webpage that one couldn’t scroll down through — simply because too much room was taken up by commentary.Hint: Webpages expand as needed to contain additional text and images!

Yep, the bar is a lot more fun after it closes. There was a guy in my town who would go into these old bars in old buildings and hide until the bar closed. He became quite good at it. Why would he do this? To drink himself stupid. He would be found the next day passed out when the place would open for the day. His name was not Calvin.

Slept in a bit longer this morning, and it was worth it…

Hobbes, I just love the Red and Rover with the Pam spray can at the top on the slide!
In a previous home, when our kids were still “kids”, we had a pool in the backyard. Along the edge of the pool, we installed a slide and it made for a great deal of additional entertainment, depending on who the guests were.
Of course, before you used the thing, you always made sure you turned on the valve and let the water run down before you put your body at the top! Failure to do so could result in some interesting sounds and body bruises…

What is PAM spray, please?

LX013, It’s a cooking spray that comes in a can….used instead of oil. There are 8 different varieties including regular, canola oil and olive oil.

I used to be scared of the slide when I was a kid.
After a few years had passed, I wasn’t scared anymore and it was the only thing I’d go on in the park.

Don’t feed the trolls … It only encourages them.
Keep doing what you’re doing, Hobbes. Always great to see you here.
