Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 28, 2018

Those summer thunderstorms ruin everyone’s fun.

That’s what you get for trying to play God, Calvin, GOD decides to show you who’s really God.

Wherever this is set is obviously not California.

He can still uproot it!

Now i know – the meek shall inherit the skies as well!

“Summer rains; you can never predict them.”

Mother Nature disagrees

Rain is a phantastic help!!

Yes, Calvin? You were saying? ☺

And the flower wanted to blow a raspberry in his direction. We’re told to talk to plants, but it’s difficult for them to answer without a tongue.

The fate of Hubris

hubris

Put that in your back to school report.

ROFL! This was gold!

“Man plans and God laughs.”

A little god gets showed up by a greater one. Happens all the time.

I’ll give it the old Nelson ha-ha.

Delusions of power.

Calvin has a lot to learn about fate and a lot of other things as well.

“Father which is in heaven: for he maketh. his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.”

Proof that control is ultimately an illusion.

Playing God will get you usurped by the real one, at some point.

As a famous line from Doonesbury said, “ Bravo for life’s little ironies “

With the monsoons we’ve had this past week, that’s just how the rain starts. A few drops, and then we get dumped on. The WeatherUnderground station a couple of blocks from here recorded one storm that, just for a couple of seconds, the precip. rate was 18.99 in/hr…

The rain pours forth on the righteous and on Calvin.

In the high mountains of northern New Mexico, rain is precious. We love the summer monsoons, never complain.

It’s hard to draw realistic rain. My raindrops look like giant onions when I try

Calvin learned a valuable lesson here: next time lord it over a houseplant instead.

Puny human…

The eternal struggle for power Calvin. Nature wins.

‘False pride goeth before a fall.’ <- common but inaccurate quote.Derived from Proverbs 16:18, but it does not accurately reflect the original text. In fact, the verse says, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” Fits Calvin…

Calvin the Psychopath gets his comeuppance.

That was today, here, in Colorado.

Karma for this brat
