Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 15, 2024

Probably because you’re spreading the weird, Calvin.

It just proves that peanut butter goes well with everything…..

I agree with Susie on this one

It’s like they’re from another planet, Calvin

What’s not to like? A ringside seat, maybe a bit too close to be out of range of the shrapnel.

It’s nice that Susie and Calvin sit together…at least for a little while.

A strip of pure genius

What would be pathetic is if he comes home complaining that he’s hungry.

ha!

Are you sure, Calvin? I would’ve pegged Susie as a Democrat.

Calvin will probably have trouble getting dates when he’s older.

Yep. Girls sure ARE weird.

…

From a particular perspective.

Imagine if Bill Watterson decided to not retire and allowed the characters to grow. Could you imagine Calvin and Sussie man and wife?

Girls! If they are not trying to kill you they are disgusted by you!

I’m eating somewhere else

After all these years, Susie gets a clue.

Wow I love peanut butter

The Flirting just goes on…….

Calvin should really be spending the school year in a psychiatric hospital. IMO, it’s criminal that US health insurance doesn’t cover mental disease!

Weird. Why would anyone vote for them?

That is his future wife.

It’s an X-Y thing.

Calvin is an unappreciated Performance Artist!

Calvin… There something you should know that may be hard to accept… Are you ready? Ahem… NORMAL HUMAN BOYS DO NOT DO WHATEVER YOU JUST DID!!

From that day forward, Susie always brings a sheet of plastic to lunch. Similar to those in front rows at a Gallagher performance.

Unlikely or not, Cal’s expanding plot lines are always interesting . . . and even a little terrifying.

Suzie, why do you even try?

LOL second panel… Calvin is channeling his inner Dale Gribble. : )

Look in the mirror, Calvin!

Priceless! Calvin the prince.

“There’s a food goin’ around that’s a sticky, sticky glue

Oh, well it tastes real good, but it’s so hard to chew". ~ The Marathons. circa 1961

…..a little jelly would have really made it interesting!!!!

I’m thinking the ladies in the lunch room will be displeased as well.

Unless they are assigned to sit next to each other (fairly common in grade school), I can’t imagine why Susie would want to sit next to Calvin in the first place.

Ok, two thoughts here. Since Suzie continues to socialize with Calvin, and eventually marries him…it only goes to prove that girls like bad boys from an early age.

And secondly…Calvin, I gotta tell you. What a complete waste of chocolate milk!

Interesting. this would never happen in Canada. peanut butter is banned in schools in Canada including universities as they get paid by the head and do not want to lose the softies who are allergic.

If some kid did that in my school I’d be on the floor laughing! I was raised with brothers cousins who cracked me up ( and got yelled at which made it even funnier!)

I love that I can avoid all the words and know what he’s doing

Pot, kettle. Kettle, pot.

Let’s hope a peanut butter alien doesn’t erupt from his chest in the middle of class

Few strips literally make me laugh out loud. This one succeeded!!

My childhood memory is that Girls WERE weird…right up until that year when, strangely, suddenly, … they were not…

Does Calvin intentionally do this?? This boy is a bit ‘off’…

Heh, Calvin should’ve saved that for April Fool’s Day! But Susie would probably still find it gross.

Bet one day Calvin and Susie will be married together. Lol. Will Hobbes be his best man?

This was really funny the first 50 times I read it. OK, 51 and it still talks to my 6year old self.

Girls might be weird, but their peanut butter never attacks them.

Uh, Calvin? Aren’t you hungry? Now you’ve destroyed the only thing you had to eat until dinner. You’ll be starving to death by then.

You always tease/gross out the one you love.

A few hours after Calvin’s experience with the facehugger…

One of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes of all time.

Fried peanut butter and banana slug sandwich.

Why do I find it totally believable that Calvin’s mom might be trying to kill him?

Yes, Calvin. Yes, they are. Even after they stop being gross and icky, they still are weird and think the same of you.

Classic Calvin! I LOVE it!

It’s SO hard to get approval from women.

Yes, what is it with girls. Why so weird? Wonder if Hobbes can maybe put you right there Calvin.

Servers down….again

So, GC is falling apart more, now, huh?

Do they have servers in Central Europe? Big water issues there.
