Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 20, 2019

I’m the organizer! I’M THE DECIDER!!!

Calvin said cleaning is basically picking things up and moving them. That counts!

Too many chiefs, too few indians. Facts of life.

Mom isn’t going to believe this one either, Calvin.

Funny, my wife and I are rewatching season 1 of Game of Thrones. “I’m the DRAGON! I’m the DRAGON!” didn’t work either.

Got another bright idea, Calvin?

Whoever has the greater force (and Tiger > 6-year old snack) makes the rules. Calvin’s experiences with Moe should have clarified this point. Hobbes does not respond well to Calvin’s autocratic directives.

“I am the organizer”(reality: you are about to be organized….)

Time to take out the trash!

I’m with Hobbes with this one, I’ve had two many micro-managers in my working life, I would have loved to be able to have done this….

Your the guest here Hobbes, not me. I came first, you second, do your job.

File this one under “reaping what you have sown.”

Hobbes isn’t so dumb.

Many years ago I was assigned to a partner in school like this. In making a flow chart we agreed I would create the chart and he would do the lettering. After the chart was made he tries to tell me my printing is so much better than his, I should letter the chart. He didn’t letter the chart, nor did I. After explaining to the teacher, I got a good grade, he got an incomplete.

Calvin is experiencing the “Worker’s Revolution”!

way to go hobbs !!! put the brat in the trash!!

There they go and I must chase them, for I am their leader.

way to go hobbs!!!

Good ol’ Hobbes!

Calvin sounds a lot like my wife…. Literally plopped down in a lawn chair to “supervise” me building a deck. She moved back a bit when the dust from my chop saw went her way.

Share this with your boss …

Hobbes doesn’t need an organizer to tell him that all trash goes in the trash can!

“Mom, I am not playing in the trash! Hobbes, my toy stuffed tiger put me here – Honest!”

Management 101

Hobbes has it right, always start your cleaning with the messiest item first.

The early stages of a Chicago political/socialist organizer!

The capabilities and actions of stuffed animal friends have no bounds when you’re trying to escape responsibility!

“He’s so lazy and selfish.”

“Even my friends don’t do what I want.”

- Calvin

That look on Hobbes’ face in the third panel is priceless.

Hobbes’ momma didn’t raise no fools…

Middle management is the place to be.

Wait, if Hobbs is a figment of Calvin’s imagination… how come Hobbs is so wise?

Hobbes, just eat that brat already. Sure, he’ll give you a stomach ache, but you can run it off as you head into the forest. And the world will thank you.

My wife’s idea of organization is to grab a bunch of stuff from one area and pile it up somewhere else. Having a background in physics makes me more analytical (we all know what the first four letters of that word are) and I like things to be neatly organized. So, we have a saying in our house, “Organization is for a—holes.”

Ah, the metaphor…

Check out today’s Pop Culture Therapy (also on Go Comics) for a humorous Calvin and Hobbes parody.

Hobbes understands Calvin only too well.

It’s tough to be a boss, Calvin.

I love this comic strip!!!!!

Something most people wish they could do with their managers.

Too small. Lock up Lassie and throw him down a well.

Calvin learns about Labor vs Management. Maybe he needs to offer Hobbes more tuna.

So our little misanthrope sits on his stool, and directs his stuffed animal to do his bidding. Many hours will pass before any movement is detected!!

Hobbes made an executive decision. He wins.

I find it strange that Calvin is imagining Hobbes opposing everything he does/says. Maybe Hobbes is actually a living toy like in Toy Story. But if he WAS a living toy then why does he always look like a stuffed tiger when anybody else is around and reverts back to being “alive” when it’s just Calvin?

Stuff like that makes me think it’s only Calvin’s vivid imagination. BUT, if it was, why would he “imagine” Hobbes always trying to make him suck it up and do the right thing? Wouldn’t he pretend that Hobbes was more like him. You know to “escape” from his nagging parents and girls like Susie by manifesting a playful fun-loving friend from a stuffed tiger called Hobbes.

He he… and this was the longest comment I’ve ever written. Bye!

Me and my brother cleaning the room in a nutshell.
