Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 12, 2015

That has to be a silverfish.

Time to make tuna fish sandwiches.

A Bug’s Life.

Well for the bug that Calvin doesn’t have a magnifying glass.

i bet Hobbes is hiding behind a tree laughing at calvin

As one of my elementary school teachers used to say: “MSMD.” (Monkey see, monkey do."

I think we’re all just bugs

You’re deluding yourself, Calvin! Nothing you do is important. You’re just a—- oh, never mind.

Calvin’s magic watch appears in panel three. He doesn’t have one in the first two panels.In the fourth panel, Bill Watterson conveys a feeling of speed by simply showing Calvin’s leg, the shadow under it, and a few specs of dust.

In the Peanuts strips above, Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and Linus all go rushing off to the right. This is typical in comic strips because the characters run in the direction of the flow of the panels, from left to right. However, in today’s Calvin and Hobbes, Calvin rushes off to the left. If he had gone to the right, it would seem like he might have stepped on the little bug.

I, on the other hand,….

Deep…..

Makes me wonder if someone is laughing at us when we hurry.

Calvin seems to have the same fascination that Lucy Van Pelt seemed to have with bugs.

Yeah I’m runnin’ down a dreamThat never would come to meWorkin’ on a mystery, goin’ wherever it leadsRunnin’ down a dream

Time to “toast” the bugs……for they are the oldest living creatures on the planet!

Which TV show is it, Calvin? (It certainly isn’t homework…)

You know, Night, I really want to get out my old magnifying glass and try this again!

It’s one of the items on my bucket list…

I think Calvin is off to ‘bug’ his parents!

calvin you afraid of bugs ? :) his answer is quiet explicative ! :)

Which means they aren’t the oldest by a long shot!

Arthropods are probably the first phylum of animals more complex than an earthworm that came up on the land and survived. Insects are probably the first distinct order that evolved entirely on land.

But sea life is hundreds of millions of years older than land-living lifeforms.

It also depends on how old old is!
