Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 27, 2018

For Calvin:

Mission Accomplished

Next, he’ll fly into Jeff Goldblum’s teleporter machine.

Sounds like Mom has contracted the plague.

That was the point, Mom!

It would be better a blood sucking butterfly. Can you believe that actually exists?

Way better than “A bug’s life”!

Mom’s got the bark, Calvin’s got the bite!

Now just explain what you were doing, that will ruin the picnic

Forget the L.A. law. The Calvin law is there’s always somebody that’s a bigger pest.

People who slurp and guzzle (or smack their lips while eating) should be retrained to eat at gunpoint. It’s absurd that adults haven’t learned to eat quietly yet. This is something every parent needs to instill in their children by the time they’re 8 or 9 years old.

He came, he slurped, he conquered!

Does the name Vincent Price “The Fly” come to mind?

His mom doesn’t look like Geena Davis but Calvin’s certainly a Brundle of joy. If that’s not bad enough for you remember, I’m just trying to wing it. And that’s the fly in the ointment.

I love Watterson’s artwork, especially the panel with the fork.Sort of reminds me of the old Jack Kirby covers to Tales of Astonish when it featured Ant-Man (a long, long time ago).

Protozoans don’t tend to have good table manners.

One of my favorite images of Calvin in the last panel…!

Ew!

Those of you who are young don’t know how innovative this artwork was when it first came out.

So that’s what “zzzzzzzzzzzzz” translates to.

Good God, the Sunday C&H’s were brilliant. To quote Wile E. Coyote, “Sheer unadulterated brilliance”

Good lord, it works!

So what’s a bluebottle fly doing sucking blood? He should be vomiting digestive juices onto his food and sponging up the resulting mess with his tongue!

(You’re welcome…)

Mom should be glad she can’t hear Calvin’s thoughts.

For Europeans with successful potty training credentials, we know that both hands always remain on the table during a meal. When Americans let the unused hand disappear in their crotch during the meal, it takes a lot of tolerance to accept their crotch habits, but that is what we do with lesser cultures.
