Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 25, 2011

That’s what I used to say!

You asked an unanswerable question…

Femal roommates are sometimes dangerous, look at Arnold Schwarzenegger, especially when they are scantily clad!!

The Chinese ideogram for “trouble” is two “women” under one “roof.” Several instead of two only compounds the problem.

So this is why the V-Chip was invented!

Calvin, the instigator.

Calvin, the precocious. Where did he pick up the concept of “scantily clad” at six years old?

Just a little curiosity, Dad. Sheesh!G’Morning, Marg, Grog & Mike!

Too much Harem Anime for you young man.

Since this was 1985 Calvin was more likely viewing a certain magazine or cable – not the internet.

Shame on you dad for not putting the lock out code in place …

The answer Calvin is, bad luck or no luck! :)

Reality TV like Big Brother wasn’t invented at the time right? Maybe Calvin was watching HBO…

@Susan: Your posts are still here; it says “about 1 hour ago” from here.

Calvin you need to stop asking the wrong questions.

I figured he was watching “Three is Enough” with Suzanne Sommers. That’s about the right time period.

NOT winning.

No doubt that simpe question was spawned from watching too much (of the wrong) television, Calvin.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠!

Good Morning …. But what’s did Calvin Say…?

Because Mom would kill him if he did.

Too much TV.

<< Yesterday, mac47 said: “P.S. Hobbes (the poster), you know with GoComics.com, you can tag comics under a certain subject.” >>Hi mac47. Thanks, but unfortunately GoComics got rid of the tags when they changed over to the new system recently. One problem with these comic strip sites is that they keep changing. So if you want to keep some information permanently, it’s best to save it on your own computer, and have a backup system.By the way, you write very well, and I was surprised to learn that you are 13 years old.

One can only dream . . . but don’t let anyone else bring it up. Nip it in the bud, bud.

Been there, done that Calvin. Eventually you find that it’s tough to keep up with the chores even one woman assigns you.

What a “precious” child!!!

Does flagging a post make it disappear? I thought it just meant “I disapprove.”

Gmartin997 GC has had issues with refreshing page sometimes doesn’t work.and Susan I enjoy reading your comments they are funny at times.

I just found out yesterday on a different comic that this one is merging with GC as of June 1st of next week. They have close to the same there will be a few new ones. With people working on technology see if this happens then.

Good question poor answer. Dad you should be grounded for week.

I think I know why-the ring on dad’s finger.

Oh come on everybody, It wasn’t that long ago when Three’s Company was a mega popular sitcom. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three%27s_Company

Calvin only watches cartoons !! How can he know such things…?

Flagging used to just bring it to the site’s attention that someone objected. Then someone there decided if it was actually inappropriate, possibly depending on the number of flags. Don’t know about the new system.

It will obviously be up to the site’s discretion whether a flagged post gets removed.

There’s only one answer to that question: marriage!

Obviously Calvin has been staying up very late and catching some of the “Playboy Mansion.l” Timing would have been about right. Guess I’m just older than the rest of you…. :-(Or more to his tastes of scary creatures he may have caught the odd snippet of that horror show (again on very late) with the beautifully made up goth, who’s name eludes me now!

I know how he feels. Ask the simplest question and you get your priviliges provoked.

Who does Calvin think his dad is . . . Hugh Hefner?!?!? Because “Hef” is the only guy on Earth that I know of that could actually get away with doing that!!!!!!!!!!

@MatureCanadian: I believe that would be Elvira (Cassandra Peterson). Great show! Loved the bustier!

To Ms. Newman… not sure about the flagging thing, but “Some Troll” would be a great name for a Rock band,…or a screen name. I might be a troll in a future life.

uh oh…not a good question Calvin

HAHAHA these early ones are so funny!

It thrills me to learn that 20 years ago, there was trash on TV like there is today.

Look at panel 3, don’t the arm cushions on dad’s chair look like something one might see on a scantily clad roomate?

calvin likes scantily clad women

Hahaha Dad’s reaction in panel 3

I shared a two-bedroom apartment with a couple of college girls. It wasn’t exactly “come knock on my door” but it was a blast.
