Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 21, 2015

Think of it as a Father’s Day present.

Does his dad ever use the book? Doesn’t look like it to me.

And Watterson said that he never wanted a Calvin&Hobbes animated cartoon.

It looks like Hobbes has finally flipped.

With a father as ‘unfeeling’ as that, no wonder Calvin acts the way he does.

I bet Calvin would learn something from a good whipping.

Life is simple

Now, now, Dad, don’t discourage Calvin’s creative process.

really cool stuff & reads……lots of love, g & shafs

The book MAY have been yours, but Calvin’s improved it.

Bon appetit, Hobbes.

I cut this one out of the paper and had it taped to my wall for many years.

My dad’s favourite books all had pirate ships and fire engines drawn on the end papers!Happy fathers’ day, Dad,

This is probably the best Calvin and Hobbes strip I’ve ever read.All because of 32 panels of stick figures!Hey, It takes all sorts to make a world.xxx

So respect for his father’s personal property means nothing to you? Calvin needs to learn that he is not the center of the universe, and that other people have rights, too.

Sure, Dad…ignore Calvin’s creativity and hard work making the flip book, that’s not as important as the fact that it was YOUR book. Had I been the father at this point, I would have praised him and then bought myself another blank notebook and one for Calvin to use as well.

My three-year-old daughter did the same thing to one of my textbooks when I was in college. Seems cute looking back on it, but didn’t seem so cute at the time.
