Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 16, 2009

Good one, Hobbes!

Ah Hobbes you should have given Calvin a wet willy,Never the less I’m laughing just because the moment was right. Oh hey! hello everyone I’m baaaaacccckkkk!!!!!!!

The dirt collects on me too after spending all the time I do watering.

Cleo, just turn that hose on yourself, no clothes to get wet….

haha, Hobbes, it’s an obvious guess.

wb Ladywolf!

O.k. let’s see what we have here, how the heck is that kid so dang smart when he’s not in school. I can’t wait to see how this strip turns out. Please people the spoil it for me with your answers. I want to see for myself.

To introduce myself, I’m from Japan and have been reading these comments for quite a while. Thought of posting occasionally, if I had something to.

wolfbyte36,

how the heck is that kid so dang smart when he’s not in school. ? May be because the school forces him to learn things, unlike paleontology which he likes and learns.

Oh Hobbes you’re so clever hahahaha!!

Kid are born curious. They’re born scientists. When a kid gets some spoons and saucepans and bangs them together, we discourage it as mischief, but that’s an experiment in acoustics!

Calvin do it back to Hobbes! I’d love to know how old he is.

Hi Ladywolf17 and Chamin… hi everyone else for that matter! :-)

welcome back ladywolf

hobbes is 3 years

I did an archeological dig in my back yard once. I dug halfway to China, almost 12 inches down, and found the jawbone of a PTuiosaur that looked most remarkably like a rusted crescent wrench…

One defect in that green_engineer; Hobbes licks himself clean, so the age will always come out as “1 day”.

Love it.

That’s what little boys are really made of…

Welcome Chamin.

I’m guessing dad will not be too thrilled with the excavation going on in the yard

calvin will probably stop when he finds worms and take them to chase susie

Very good, Hobbes. I’ll check my wax !

I some how feel connected to Calvin

Calvin : You turn the water on to take a bath :)

I did that too! Then I took the corroded old jawbone down to Sears and they gave me a spankin’ new Craftsman wrench for it.

Good one Hobbes

Hobbes’ method: the long expected improvement in scientific research; immediate results without the use of complicated machinery !!

I missed yesterday, so I’m a day late.

When an archeologist finds a preserved mother, it is called a “mummy.”

Welcome Chamin to this board. I am impressed with your english skills.

Isn’t it amazing how Calvin struggles with simple math and history reports, yet is at an amazing skill level for a six year old when it comes to paleontology?

P.S., Calvin you need to use soap (“and with massage and a little bit of steeeeeaaaam….) to get the dirt off in the bath.

P.S., Sorry, a little Rocky Horror got thrown in there. I watched it for the umpteenth time over the weekend. I guess I’m stuck in a Time Warp.

New kid on the block here. Way to go , Hobbes! The voice of reason!?!? LOL :)

@EMET, I noticed you were gone, but had no way to respond or get your attention…

My youngest son is an archeologist. He always enjoys (wearing )his work and digging in it.

It’s a scientific fact—dirt rings are like tree rings when it comes to little boys.

Hobbes is a master of thinkology! Welcome chamin and RAZOR. Welcome Back ladywolf and EMET. LOL, Marg and Cleo.

That’s not dirt, it’s a super resistant protective coating that repels slimy girls, deflects unwanted messages from parents and allows him to easily slip into his spaceman spiff suit.

I didn’t know you were gone EMET, welcome back. And yes doctortoon this site is so bleeep addictive to stay away from.I missed the comics, but I also missed each one of you, I do consider each one of you like family.

At least Hoobs did not try to carbon date Calvin, Yet.

Nice 1 Hobbes!

Oh come on, there are NO Rocky Horror Picture Show fans on this board? I expected at least one response to the lyrics to “I Can Make You A Man” and the RHPS reference.

I can’t help myself, I relate to life (and C&H) through music.

Apparently, Hobbes just wipes Calvin’s wet sweating off from Calvin’s head with only one finger while Calvin digs the ground. Very interesting, eh! hee hee…

Hey WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE! Well, I rather not to put too many usernames on this comment, anyway…. Have a great day, y’all!

So, EMET, still interested in a discussion? Last offering is now gone past redeeming except for genii, but you name the day and place and give a question or whatever, and I’ll come.

margueritem, are you suggessting gardening in the nude? I once tested an educational test to a first-grader. The test was to identify various pictures. He couldn’t recall the word “pyramid” so finally said “How am I supposed to know about ancient Egypt? I’m only 6.”

Yukoner, is that like the air-bag joke about old VW buses?

“Old VW minibus was the first vehicle known to have an air-bag, the Torsional Youth-designed Repelling Emboliser (T.Y.R.E.) upfront ”

I’m gonna do this joke to somebody!

I knew Calvin didn’t like taking baths but this is rediculous. 6 years of dirt buildup?

EMET, OED = Oxford English Dictionary. Heaven for word geeks.

Also, your golf game sounds like my brother’s!

Hobbes has quite the eye to be able to determine something like that so easily! I must say I am impressed.

I mention it because Bill Watterson mentioned he never uses their names because it’s Calvin’s world, and they’re just mom and dad to him. Hence why Uncle Max appeared once, because it was too hard to write without him using a first name. I always thought that meant Calvin never knew their names.

Welcome back Ladywolf.

Mom used this line on me, but it was years before C&H .

WOW

EMET, the OED is at the sole of the English lanhguage.

Gawd calvin & Hobbes are the best

I dig Calvin’s interest, and kove Hobbes’ layered response.

lol, I’ve always loved how Calvin is in 1st grade, yet he’s learning all these things a 5th-6th grader would know! Adds to the hilarity!
