Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 06, 2022

Is this Calvin’s way of saying he enjoys getting beaten up?

Now try that logic with Moe, Calvin. We DARE you!

er… you’re welcome

The essence of social media

Atta boy! You tell ’em Calvin.

Hobbes planted Calvin upside down…. will he ever grow?

Calvin asked for it. Wonder how Bill could come out with this kind of conversation. No wonder this strip has been enthralling millions across globe.

It certainly is a successful strategy on LinkedIn and NextDoor. And sometimes on GoComics.

Did all famous philosophers prove themselves right the same way?

The patented Hobbes eye roll strikes again

Would I like to do that to my little ( 66 YO ) little brother when he gets that attitude

Hobbes believes it too.

Political discourse at its finest.

Tigers are so temperamental!

There are hardly any story arcs in the current reprints. Due to this, we nearly always see Hobbes as the living tiger that he is shown as when only we and Calvin can see him or when only we can see him and not as the stuffed doll that most human characters see him as.

There was a short story arc a few weeks ago in which Mom appeared and saw Hobbes as a stuffed doll. There is a week-long story arc coming up in which Mom will also appear but not with Hobbes. Due to this, Hobbes will only appear as a living tiger in that story arc.

My two boys provoked each other like this all the time when they were young teens. :P

Funny how this ties in precisely with how the Chinese government is acting in the past week.

How come Calvin didn’t end up in Congress??

I always like it when Hobbes rolls his eyes…

So whose will prevailed this time?

Calvin, you should be glad that Hobbes didn’t decide to bury you totally!

Seen that coming a kilometer away.

My ex-wife had that exact philosophy. If you’re bored, pick a fight.

Calvin predicts social media!

Proving a point too emphatically can bring unintended results.

And ‘our hero, Calvin’’ wonders why ‘Hobbes’ is always pouncing on him ! ! ! !

If more people every now and then made corrections to thick-headed types like this (though not quite like Hobbes did, mind you), how much better off would we be?

Careful. You could end up owing $45.2 million when it catches up with you

I’m gonna try this at work Monday.

Hence all the videos on every social media platform today

Such language is a sure way to grow old, alone and embittered…

You are witnessing the birth of a politician.

i feel like this all the time now!

I seem to do that once in awhile with my wife. Usually I didn’t engage brain before putting mouth in gear.

Calvin would make a good MSM commentator today. l They all have ‘attitude’ like him.

99% of anger management is knowing when to shut up.

Social media at its finest

Hobbes: muttonhead.

I haven’t been called a muttonhead since I shaved and got a haircut

I’m glad that improved your day.

That must be why people add political comments to otherwise completely non-political strips.

It’s called being a troll, Calvin….a crowded field these days.

Genius! Calvin was a six-year-old thirty years ahead of his time!!

Social media predicted thirty years early.

Sorry, Calvin. Rudeness gets you nowhere.

Mm, charming. It’s funny to see how proud he looks In the second panel, though.
