Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 01, 2015

Hobbes is in a very punny mood.

“What are you pierin’ at?”

A good pun is its own reword…

Just call Hobbes “Attila the Pun.”

What a dinghy…

lets just hope that one of the famous window stickers of calvin does not trickle down on you…and if calvin is ever at trial i am not sure hobbes would be a peer he can trust..

I love how Hobbes gets infatuated with words. I remember some strips in which he couldn’t stop saying the word “smock”. As I recall, he wasn’t punning, just driving Calvin bonkers.

So hoist up the John B’s sailSee how the main sail setsCall for the Captain ashoreLet me go home, let me go homeI want to go home, let me go homeWhy don’t you let me go home(Hoist up the John B’s sail)Hoist up the John B I feel so broke up I want to go homeLet me go home

I’ve got a guy here from the House of Lords with a complaint.

Calvin gets the pun. Heck, he thought it!

Then there was the fortune teller who lived on a boat down at the dock. It was called the Pier Into The Future.Sorry, I made that one up…….. Hey! stop that!…… Ow!……. Sorry………. Ow!………….

Hobbes’ tryout for Pearls Before Swine, showing his stuff for Pastis.

Calvin doesn’t get the puns because he is so much shorter than Hobbes. Anything Hobbes says just goes over Calvin’s head.

I think it is time for a little Otis Redding…

…adult humor is so…..jejune…..

Hobbes always was too hip for the room.

Calvin doesn’t have an ear for the quay of the puns

Okay. I got the second joke, but not the first.

Is Calvin contemplating legal action? It seems to be on the docket…

Hobbs appears to be annoying Calvin - again.

These puns are so good that I’m afraid to make an apierance.

@Bargrove,“Abstain from all ap’pier’ance of evil!” :o)

@Hobbes,Long woks might drive you stir crazy.

@Aaron Saltzer,A friend without peer is a friend without equal.

@Hobbes, Did the fortuneteller have a friend named Clair Voyant?

@richardelguru,Did you burn the midnight ‘Earl’ to come up with that one?

@LeadingEdge,“Better take him to see a Dock!”

…a veterinarian, in particular! Wharf! wharf!

I’ve heard “Pier Pressure” loads of times but somehow seeing Hobbes say it makes it hilarious all the more!

Whatever floats Hobbes’ boat.

Do you think we should dock Hobbes’ pay?

Hobbes’ puns floated right over Calvin’s head.

The pond is so deep that the pressure can crush you.

Hobbes is in a battle of wits against an unarmed man.

Sometimes people just miss my meaning too.

Sailing right on by…
