Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 02, 2015

Susie swung at Mr. Stinky and hit you by accident, Calvin.

“Throw your insults” is an very different skill.

Origin of the term, she knocked your socks off.

wow…i can hardly wait to use the bucket of boogers line…but calvin did teach me. and i will duck…

He got socked because of his insulting sock puppet. Well, Susie gave him a hand.

No wonder they eventually married. What a smooth talker.

Wait until your 20s, Calvin – people will PAY you to be insulted.(Charlie Brown: "Now you know what I go through…)

If Jeff Dunham insults you, you deserve it.

Calvin I thought you were smarter about those ads in the back of comic books !

In Calvin’s defense, saying the words “bucket of boogers” is pretty hard to do without moving one’s lips, start with something simple, without B’s, P’s or M’s in it. She might have been fooled if Calvin said, “Susie is an idiot”. Nah, she would have caught on.

Those X-ray specs ads were also ripoffs! Calvin makes a cameo appearance in today’s “Thatababy” episode.

Calvin, I think Susie was fooled, and she did launch a retaliatory attack against Mr. Stinky Sock, you were just Collateral Damage.

I’d stay away from Susie in the future; she’s violent.

Somewhere in some alternate universe, someone finds a sock and says “where do these things keep coming from? And where did my dust bunnies go?”

She “socked” him in the jaw

They’re all a complete scam, Calvin.

Need a bit more practice, Calvin. Plus maybe a better punch line.

Is this how Shari Lewis got her start?

On an unrelated subject, has anyone noticed a gray semi-transparent screen appear over Calvin and Hobbes the first time you access the strip? I perform a Safari Reset every night after I am done with internet, and the first time I access C&H, and only C&H, I have a gray semi-transparent screen over the strip that only appears for a few seconds and clears…

Today’s “Thatababy” comic strip:

The voice is a sockpuppet. So I know.

One day Calvin might want to get his foot in the door&he wont, because of this bad smell he’s left in Lucys mind!

Calvin, Calvin—I hope someday you learn some social skills!

I remember those ‘Throw your voice’ ads in comics looong ago. Bet they’re still doing them, too.
