Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 30, 2011

Calvin dies of shame…

Calvin’s in total shock!

Karma’s a b**. Ain’t it, Calvin.

So that’s how it all goes wrong.

If good-Calvin were a little like regular-Calvin (or Hobbes, for that matter), he’d be enjoying this more (and looking for new ways to provoke the same reaction).

he he….being good is even worse than being evil….in this cruel world…..

Calvin, don’t kill your good clone…. YET!!!

“Ah, what a tangled web we weave when first we try ………….” It’s beginning to unravel.

Aah, the worm turns.

I’m sure that’s not the only thing bad Calvin would not approve of.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠!

@Grog you are correct, Suzie would be the undoing of (normal) Calvin’s plan to fool everyone. Say, can that Duplicator make someone disappear? Hmm….

It’s all starting to unravel now!

Today’s strip is hilarious. Every line of the dialog made me giggle and the artwork is superb. This has got to be one of Watterson’s best.

Ruined for life?

\\//_

AUGH!!!

Calvin’s about to have a meltdown.

Oh boy… I smell trouble for good Calvin…

And it all starts to unfold :)

Calvin is about to murder “Good” Calvin…Hobbes, come save “Good” Calvin from a fate worse than death!

Hey Good Calvin, do you know CPR? Calvin Prime is about to need it!

Flowers are always a nice touch. Calvin can always tell Susie that he meant to pick her some poison ivy, but can’t identify plants very well.

Calvin’s freak outs, are very entertaining!!!

Those of you who have ever doubted that Calvin has real feelings for Suzie and are still in the building, remember, Good Calvin is part of the original Calvin the Bold. He just doesn’t want to admit it yet.

And boy howdy, does he not want to admit it. What a classic Calvinesque freak-out! :))

Good Calvin won’t be around for long. Bad Calvin will see to that. Calvin your image is being tarnish of being good instead of bad. Shocking isn’t it. This isn’t going the way Calvin planned.

Yep. Calvin has life figured out. Except for one tiny little detail …. girls.

Panel 4: Calvin’s impersonation of Sam Kinnison…..

Poor Calvin–even when he’s perfectly good, he’s doing bad things, at least for his originator.

oh, that’s clever! I didn’t see this coming! Very good!

If bad Calvin gets bad enough, good Calvin will be forced to become evil too!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Calvin never saw this coming!

Hoist by his own…

Just hold on… it gets “worse”. And funnier.

Looks like somebody created a monster……………….

And now ‘zee sheet” shall hit “zee fan”!

I knew it. Calvin cant control the new guy and he can do unrepairable damage.

When Calvin becomes around twice his present age, those of the distaff persuasion will command his attention something fierce, and Hobbes will become a distant memory. Sic transit gloria mundi…..

Back to the cardboard box cloning machine…

Find a copy of the story Shatterday by Harlan Ellison to find out how bad this can get.

but… she slammed the door in my face…. she took the flowers and hit me with them…. there was a bee in them and she was stung by it…. she hit her head when she fell down laughing…. ……….

………. k– i – s – s – i – n – g!!!!!!!!!!

;-)

the world is crashing down for calvin.

I haven’t seen Hobbes post on this site in a few days. I hope he’s OK.

Miss you, Hobbes.

I knew this whole set up was too good to last. I hate it when a great plan backfires!

Please note: Beginning this week and throughout the season of Lent, I will be on sabbatical from this site, focusing on education, contemplation, renewal, and home maintenance problems.

♪Calvin & Susie sitting in a tree …♫

The last panel is just so beautiful. What a genius Watterson is. I followed these strips everyday when they first came out and I follow these replays everyday now when they come out here 20 years or so later. Pure genius.

Hahahaha Calvin’s growing frustration in panels 2-4.
