Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 04, 2015

Calvin, your Mom and Dad are trying to live a drama free life; please cooperate.

Calvin, thanks for helping Mom and Dad to live the exciting life they always hoped for!

Oh yes, suffering finally must have an end!

…and Emo Jr.

that did not happen to me until after i was married….

When you have some real problems, next to which cold butter will be less than nothing.

The way to do it is to soften the butter in the microwave before even starting the toast. That way the butter is perfectly spreadable when the toast pops out.

It’s hard to empathize with a drama queen

If Calvin keeps this up, he will be toast.

Panel 3 really emphasizes the height difference between Calvin and his parents. He is only 1/3 their height, so he is two feet tall or less.

@Hobbes, feel free to post this. Linus gets some empathy for this kind of issue..http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/2014/02/23

I can relate, Calvin.

Calvin: the bubble I live in, too, has been poked at a lot lately.

Totally unrealistic!! Calvin would never get his own butter. That’s what Mothers are for.

@Hobbes,

OR . . . They (the parents) are 12 feet tall

Um, peanut butter – hello?

In some places, toast is eaten cold.

SERIOUS ALERT: Don’t read this comment if you want your comic to be reality free.*“Calvin, your Mom and Dad are trying to live a drama free life; please cooperate.”*LWP – But this is serious— don’t we all shamefully fixate on 1st world problems (that poor Cecil) while human lives in Syria and Central Africa and Guatemala are needlessly being lost and we say nothing?

Calvin is practicing to be a husband

Learning to Bear Life’s Burdens is part of growing Up, but Cold Toast and unmelted Butter may just be a Burden to great to be Carried by Oneself!

Yes—I often spend about 5-10 minutes preparing to prepare breakfast—checking (and making) coffee, checking butter, cleaning up the counter, etc. Life is tough!

I don’t get any more sympathy than Calvin either.

Oh the humanity

You gotta suffer if you want to sing the blues.

Butter must solve your problems.

Parents just never understand do they, Calvin?

Mouth is bigger than Calvin in the second panel!!

First World problems

Why are people looking at a Calvin and Hobbes comic strip, and getting all butthurt????
