Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 29, 2014

Has Calvin signed up advertisers?

No, they can’t turn you off, Calvin, but they sure can hit the snooze button and take a nap! ;)

And that changes things how?

My sister and I did stuff like this: after watching I Love Lucy, we used a box and a chair. Wonder what we’d have turned out to be if we had been encouraged a little more.

I wonder whether anyone will notice that Calvin isn’t the real TV.Click here: Peanuts (September 3, 1953)

Hi, Number Six. Nice to see your back.No…… Wait…… That’s your front.

Heh, heh.I had to turn my monitor around to see what you look like.

@Number Six:By facing that way, you have a lot of followers here.Don’t worry, we are all behind you.

@Number Six:I thought you might like to see one of my baby pictures:

It’s that kind of logic that keeps your parents up all night.

Cardboard boxes hold the greatest imaginations.

@Number Six: I just turned your picture upside-down, and you look exactly like Number Nine!

They may not be able to turn you off, but they can change the location of your broadcast.

Can’t wait for Monday Night Calvinball.

@ Hobbes and Number Six: Kudos on and thank you for your very amusing repartee today.

When I was growing up, we had a Stromberg Carlson TV. When it required service, a frequent item, the repairman would come to the house and remove the electronics from the wood cabinet, leaving nothing but the open front..Mom would let my sister and I (she is 3 yrs younger) create the entertainment. It was the original “reality TV”…

Calvin is so cute!

Stay tuned.

@Dogday88: Like Calvin, today Number Six and I are forcing our pictures into millions of homes. Well, maybe thousands……Well, maybe hundreds……..Actually, GoComics has more than a million users signed up. Nobody knows how many of them read the comments. Or how many our humor has driven away….

Anyone remember when Father Dougal did something like this on “Father Ted”? It prompted Father Jack to utter the immortal line:

“WHO LET THAT GOBSHITE ON THE TELEVISION?!?”

You can get taken away.
