Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 05, 2013

Hobbes never has that problem.

No spiders or ants? Pennies are always good!

The last thing you need is something crazed loose in your pants.

One of the many advantages of a kilt.

I’m not too sure one can easily tell if a ferret is crazed. :)

But hobbes – we lack your majestic fur coat..

Check out yesterday’s Bloom County.

That would explain Ziggy…and Donald Duck!

I like your smug look Hobbes but if you didnt have all that fuzzy fur you would be to shy to be with out pants.

Reason not to wear pants or crazed rodents? Hobbes needs to be more specific. Sometimes I like the feeling of crazed rodents.

In the southern part of the US, you do NOT want to accidentally stand on an ant hill. You’ll be yanking your pants off fast!

Think the cops would let you go with that excuse?

Hobbes and Calvin look like mirror images in panel 2. Even their fur looks similar.Note that Bill Watterson has borrowed the word “AAUGH” from Charles Schulz., who created it. Watterson has added an extra “A” to the first AAAUGH and an extra “H” to the second AAUGHH.Click here: Peanuts (March 12, 1955)Click here: Peanuts (June 15, 1967)Here’s one from when Peanuts was only 6 months old. Notice how large the early Charlie Brown’s head is in the last frame – about half the height of his body. This is very similar to Calvin’s proportions.Click here: Peanuts (April 2, 1951)Click here: Peanuts (August 11, 1980)Click here: Peanuts (October 11, 1951)

@Joliet JakeClassic David Letterman joke

I rarely wear rodents.

Now Hobbes, we don’t want Calvin follow your example when it comes to pants.

Back when I was younger, I used to feel like that, only it was my wife feeling ‘frisky’. Unfortunately, she doesn’t feel ‘frisky’ any longer.

As a tiger, Hobbes wouldn’t worry about that.

(While wearing long-pants) I had a ROACH crawled up my left leg while I was doing an incoming resupply-check at a 7-Eleven I once worked at…-My only regret was not showing that roach the bottom of my shoe cause I was busy doing resupply-check…

I like it when Hobbs gives his two cents worth.

All ferrets are crazed.

In the last panel you can see Calvin’s pants without seeing his pants.

Yeah but it’s temporary. When the swelling goes down is when the pain really begins.

LOL LOL… Do you like Calvin’s little bare bottom, Hobbes?

This cannot happen in Canada. They’ve discontinued the penny.

I’d go for that, Hobbes.

I had a crazed rodent with cold feet in my pants once. Cost me plenty.

You mean Squirrels in his pants?

I tried explaining it to the cop this way, but I still spent the night in the drunk tank. Just kidding folks!

love it

I never see any comment I submit……….but trying again. Fire ants……………..Summer of ‘04 in Temple TX………..beautiful starry evening………talking to my GF on a cell phone. So I perch on a lawn chair in the dark and my Nike’s are soon on fire!

My GF took days to forgive me for hanging up in a hurry…..she thought some other girl had happened by!

Sheesh! I had planted my feet in a fire ant mound……..OH! How I ran to the shower!!! Peeling clothes all the way!

I still have little red dots on both ankles as a reminder.

Once, when I was nine, I threw a bug in the air and it landed on my sister’s head.

My mistake. The ants I remember from my childhood in Texas are red harvester ants. They are larger (5–7 millimeters), and just as aggressive.

That’s nor rodent, it’s a Madascar Cockroach!
