Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 01, 2016

Maybe Calvin hasn’t seen one before because Calvin’s Mom has a rule of “NO WIRE HANGERS!”

Look-at-that-OLD-bone/It-could-be-worth-some-bucks.(Boom Boom)…

Wire hangers were OK for clothes, but my mom liked wooden hangers when I got too far out of line.

Hobbes: “This explains why your clothes stay on the floor.”

Ah, this is leading to the teenager’s “horizontal wardrobe.”

:))

Calvin! You learned precious one thing.

It’s a triangle for making music!!

Religious function: for hanging up priests clothes!!

It was used to hang up sacrificial offerings for the Tiger God to eat.

Always keep one in the trunk for emergency exhaust system repairs.

I solved the clothes on the floor problem with pegs on the walls. Of course, I am tall enough to reach the hangers in the closet.

Is this the one where Calvin builds a “dinosaur?”

It’s a primitive tool for unlocking car doors.

Anyone remember Monty Python showing a severed big toe being found in a garden, and scientists speculated on what the ancient beast must have looked like … the animal envisioned was elephant-like with that big toe for a nose. Cracked me UP!

Hard to believe nobody recognized this as a discarded car radio antenna…

“Primitive hunting weapon” is actually what my friends and I used them for when we were young. We made slingshots out of them…

I’m kinda wondering how that hanger got there?

It an adult of the paperclip species. Like caterpillars turning into moths and butterfiles, paperclips cocoon and emerge as coat hangers. That’s why paperclips disappear and can never be found when you need one, while over time your closets spontaneously fill up with wire hangers.

Sorry to disappoint you, Calvin. But that’s the clothes hanger Mum is looking for.

It appears you have a secret admirer.

.Yeah, but he refuses to admit it.

I hope Dr. Adams’ regular nurse, Mary Jane is there when I go in.
