Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 02, 2021

This is when blunt force is more effective.

A tiger is hard to die.

Reminds me of an early Peanuts strip where Charlie Brown keeps shooting Lucy and she says he missed. Then when she has a go at shooting him and he says she missed, she bawls and asks why he doesn’t play fair.

Bad guys are such terrible shots. “Man! These guys are elusive!” Says a guy waving a gun around firing everywhere.

Where are Save the Tigers when you need Tham?

We also used to argue about whether the other kid had shot more than six times without reloading.

I prefer “ain’t I?” to “aren’t I?” (You might say “I ain’t,” but you’d never say “I aren’t”!)

This was actually the basic story given in one of the D&D player handbooks (2nd edition revised) for why you use dice.

That’s not fair Hobbes. Calvin shot you in the gut at point blank range! ;P

Force field!

Tigers are thick skinned, aren’t they?!?

Had a Storm Trooper for an instructor!

He must be using those shoot-around-the-corner stunt bullets.

A natural Stormtrooper.

Nobody’s better than Hobbes at being smarmy. I had a lot of friends like this growing up, all smirking as they deliberately teased you. I resented it so much, haha.

Smart of Hobbes to switch calvins bullets to blanks and then claim he’s a lousy shot.

That’s what you get in a cap gun fight with Dirty Hairy.

I wonder what games kids play today? Do they play at all?

This is how baby boomers grew up and guess what? 99.9% of baby boomers never shot anyone.

Calvin is a perfect example of the Trumplicans that still believe the Dumpster was really elected president……

Isn’t this how “owning” works?

Whoever controls the narrative controls reality!

roblox roleplays be like

This reminds me of when I was quail hunting with my great uncle Ray.

A covey went up and Ray took 2 quick shots and not a single bird dropped. He looked right at us and said, “Those are miracle birds, I hit every one of them and they were still able to fly!”

Hobbes will win this one-he will never bleed or die.

I love Hobbes’ bandana!

Nowadays, Calvin would be arrested for even having that cap gun, and the parents would have Calvin taken away for raising such a violent son…us too.

Reminds me of Jack Benny in an old skit of “Buck Benny Rides Again” on the radio:

“Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang”

“Ha!. You missed me twice.”

I used to act like Hobbes towards my older brother…it never ended well…

I remember acting this one out with a friend when we were younger. We had a good laugh.

I remember arguments like that with my friends.

this is a VERY bad prescient…I mean, I know it’s kind of cliche to psychoanalyze Calvin but he is literally telling himself that pretend violence isn’t enough so he has to inflict ACTUAL violence in order for it to count…

It is nice that Calvin has Hobbes to play with. That way he is not bothering the neighborhood kids.

Stormtrooper material.

Reminds me of playing ‘army’ with neighborhood kids.

Hobbes is lying. Have him take a drink of water then watch carefully.

My, what a disturbed kid he is.

Hobbes must not be good at playing possum…

That’s how call your own basketball foul is played.

You forgot Calvin, Hobbes is your figment of imagination. The feline is immortal.
