Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 23, 2021

Find a wall to lean against.

Standing on the corner…..watching all the girls go by.

you sure know the fashion statements of the day, Calvin

Now you just have to perfect your wall slump!

Looks like these two puts on sunglasses are in the dark.

Guys… You’re supposed to wear your sunglasses at night. The hit song by Corey Hart says so. Why? I’ve no idea. But he did look cool in the video for said song, though. So maybe htat’s why, I guess…..

Dumb Brothers.

Now you won’t forget anything when you meet the men in black.

Does wearing shades have anything to do with casting shade? And if not, WHY not?

Calvin a word of advice: first be cool to yourself then be cool to others.

Why’s that cool tiger hanging with a dorky kid?

Go over to the Peanuts strip, and hang out with Joe.

Hobbes looks like he could use a cane. Or a guide dog.

♫♪

I wear my sunglasses at night

So I can, so I can

See the light that’s right before my eyes

♪♫

An anagram of what Calvin says in the last frame is, “Groovy! Unjoyous, hot, undaunted [h]am.”

They should smoke cigarets, too! Then they’d be REEEEAAAAALLLLLY cool!

The future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades.

C&H’s attempt at “Joe Cool”?

He’ll never be “Joe Cool” cool.

I’m thinking Sinatra and Martin, how about you?

joe biden wears sun glasses.

You’re not really cool unless you wear polarized Pit Vipers. And you can’t be a man ‘cause you don’t smoke the same cigarettes as me.

On a mission from god?

More cute than cool, but that term would offend poor Calvin! :D

Now would be a great time to “jump” Hobbes for all the times he ambushed Calvin

“I was cool before it was cool to be cool.”

To be REALLY cool, you need to wear them at night! (Like Corey Hart)

♫♫♫♫ I wear my sun glasses at night. ♫♫♫

Hobbes should always wear dark glasses. Looking good Hobbes.

Hobbes just needs a little to get his cool mojo going.

“Now go out and get yourself some big black framesWith the glass so dark they won’t even know your name….”

Coolness is subjective. And also stereotypical.

Cool people are usually mellow, but I guess we’ll need another definition for being cool.

My youngest tried on my Ray Bans this morning. He looked really cool until they fell off his nose and went under his chin. Then he looked goofy.

Where can I get sunglasses that completely block vision?

The “cool” people wore sunglasses because their pupils were dilated by heroin. Think again.

Being ‘cool’ is pointless. Watterson got this right.

Blues Brothers – Part Deux

Hobbes in P2 – priceless.

Because nothing says cool like a stuffed tiger in sunglasses sticking his arms out

Why does Calvin want to look cool when he doesn’t even like other people?

I wonder from where they got the cool opaque glass. The fact that cool people do not see others reaction may be true this way.

Gonn’s “Blackout of Gretely” comes to mind.

With this strip today I know one of my fave C&H strips is coming up soon.

Ahhhh-my teen years—the Ray Ban era. . . . .
