Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 27, 2011

LOL

Hissy fit!

Gotcha!

Voice shouldn’t change, he cannot sing soprano any more!

Nice hat Calvin!

Is this how the current series of Middle East insurgencies got started ???

Good Morning All.

Hey comicgos and cleokaya

Marg is 4th today, after the three of us. But if we delete our comments and repost them, we can make her first!

Hobbes, no need to do so. We all get our chance to say something, and that’s what matters.

♪♫ Who’s the leader of the club that’s made for you and me? ♫♪

(“Mickey Mouse Club” theme song, which fits Calvin and Hobbes today.)

Calvin thinks he’s a million times more important than Hobbes? Sounds like a G.R.O.S.S. exaggeration.

Hi Marg

I was just trying to make you the “leader of the club” for today, since you deserve it. By the way, am I a little late in saying, “nice egg photos?”

Stick to your guns, Hobbes!

G’Morning, Grog & Mike!

I like Hobbes’ expression in the last panel. Classic!

I don’t think anything productive will come of this, unless Hobbes is considering overthrowing the dictatorship.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠!

Dictator for Life………………..not!!!!!

Pitch range has something to do with importance?

Hi, Hobbes (The Poster) - this illustrates the amateur Jungian analysis I threw at you yesterday, very late in the game. I won’t bore you or others with saying more in detail, but I’m fascinated at the way this pair uses their thought processes in the very archetypes you’d expect from their personality types.

Bill Watterman was incredibly observant about human (and feline) nature. And, of course, when he learned how to draw dinosaurs well, his humor went off the scale.

Why Hobbes is accepting that Calvin outranks him?

…and you know that last line was delivered in a really high-pitched voice…

That’s some bad hat, Harry.

I hope after the taunt there can still be détente.

Ahh, that wonderful day I became a man and my tenor broke. Damned hypocrites threw me out of the church choir just in time for my teenage rebellion.

Calvin..puberty only hurts for a little while.

@Hobbes with reference to your final post yesterday, they say a picture paints a thousand words. With the amount of words you have posted here, we could conversely assume that for every thousand of your words, you have supplied us with a picture of yourself.

By now you must have painted us a several hundred pictures. Hence your life is now laid bare to the psycho-analytical types amongst us. I on the other hand being of lazier inclinations will just await to read their conclusions ;)

Have a great day everyone, I’m out to enjoy the sun. Oh and morning Marg and all the other regulars.

”Puberty only hurts for a little while.”

I think when Calvin hits Puberty (or when it hits him), everyone will suffer!

Hi DreamScourge

Yeah, that’s why I always put a little picture next to every thousand of my words. :>)

I think Marg’s egg photos were worth far more than a thousand. Sorry I didn’t get to see them all. Looks like there are only two still remaining. I must have missed a major salmonella scare last week.

Calvin’s voice is so high-pitched, it’s no wonder he can’t hit the ball when he throws it up. BTW, when Calvin throws it up, he doesn’t vomit it!

If you keep hollering, Calvin, you might get a ‘hoarse’ voice …neigh, neigh!

How old is Calvin now? At this rate he will never reach puberty!

Calvin sure has many issues. Hobbes sure knows what buttons to push to set him off. It’s great stuff.

The nice thing about comics is that we can ascribe our own attributes to voices, especially, and enjoy the commentary as we wish. They ruined Peanuts when it went video, in my estimation, and Dennis the Menace … ! Comics aren’t meant to reflect real people; they are a commentary on life, sometimes, a very astute commentary. That’s enough of the lecture.

Here joins a new member in the G.R.O.S.S CLUB. And since you two are fighting over your ranks, I revolt and declare myself as the new King of the CLUB.

I wonder what Calvin would sing like. Too bad Watterson never gave us an opportunity to find out.

Mutiny in the tree house!

They sure are having a lot of “fun” in this club of theirs. Do best friends really argue so much during their adventures?

Of course–they are guys. When playing a game, and there’s a dispute, the game stops until the rules are sorted out, or a new special rule is adopted. Girls tend to be less competitive, and will talk more to share stories and other “friendly” stuff.

fran 650 Right on this is mutiny ,but because of the high ranks of the guilty parties its going to be hard to hold a court martial .

Soprano, is usually the melody, which in Barbershop singing, is called the “lead”. That is the most important voice, the rest, are just the supporting cast. Sorry Hobbes!

Perhaps about resurection in a very high voice!!

“Lowly first tiger”, them’s fightin’ words!

If they keep this up their club of two will become two separate clubs of one. Come on guys remember why you’re in the club.

They are both the greater among equals.

The tiger sure knows how to get Calvin’s goat….

Is Calvin only the figurehead of what’s really a “Puppet Regime” (or maybe in this case, “Tiger Regime”)?

The esteemed prez and veep … reminds me of some others …

Hobbes,

In case you haven’t seen some of these, the last five pictures on this page are of Marg’s eggs.

Thanks W6BXQ, John

Very nice! Thanks for saving them. I was hoping it wasn’t the first three pictures on the page.

Artybee said, That’s some bad hat, Harry.

I wonder how many people recognized your reference. I’m trying to remember if it’s from the House production company, or another one. (The “Hat the guy’s wearing looks more like a shower cap with earflaps to me!)

Lewreader, I didn’t last long in the church choir either. But being that I was there under duress, I was happy to get out of there and climb trees and build forts like Calvin.

Our forts were HUGE underground complexes. We had to stop building them when my younger brothers’ fort caved in and one of their friends was buried alive.

We got him safely dug out, but we were terrified!

BAHAHAHAHA

That was a low blow, Hobbes
