Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 06, 2021

Let’s just hope that’s not what actually happened.

Calvin does have a knack for imagination.

It’s a bird….it’s a plane? No just a terrified kid.

You old devil cat, you.

I think that’s called “leading the witless” isn’t it?

Houston, we have a launching of a human satellite…

I wonder where the bee stung him.

I’d be willing to wager that there was no bee, that Hobbes just said that to freak out Calvin.;-D

Bee nice to the bees

Ouchie…..

That was king of a waspish thing for Hobbes to do

Bee careful!

Awww… I wanted to hear the rest of the story!

The bee lays its eggs inside Calvin, and a few days later, maggots start crawling out.

well ya fed his imagination, so no wonder.

Does that make hobbes the in-sting-gator?

I’ll stop now…

One time my daughters & I were involved in a 5k; we walked it, which was an option. At one point, while we were walking, a bee landed on my younger daughter’s arm & just sat there. She was even able to carefully pet it with one finger. It stayed on her arm for the better part of a mile; when we came near an area with flowers, the bee took off.

A woman storms into the Pro Shop at the country club and marches right up to the club pro. “The bees on this course are a nuisance. They are EVERYWHERE! You have to do something. I was stung this morning between the first and second hole. What have you got to say to that?”“Well, he replied, “to begin with your stance is too wide.”

Expectations are everything!

Well of course he imagined it. Hobbes planted the suggestion!

Well, that didn’t look very imaginary.

Don’t imagine French kissing a French poodle.

… See? It’s easy to put bad things in your brain.

Send the last frame to Elon Musk. He’s always looking for cheaper ways to go into orbit.

Nice work, Hobbes.

Bad kitty.

I was around Calvin’s age when my Gang of Buddies and I messed with a Bumblebee Nest…43 stings later [including inside my mouth] I was freaked out for years about Bees. I love and respect all Bees now but still kill Meat Bees when I can find their Hives.

Hobbes, the master of psychological warfare.

… and we have lift-off of Calvin 1.

Hobbes knows how to launch the young fella, alright.

Ah, yes… The power of suggestion. Bad tiger, Hobbes!

That’s what he gets for eating straight out of the honey jar again.

What they mean when they say self-fulfilling prophecy.
