Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 06, 2024

One would think, that’s the one thing Calvin would never forget.

Oh, cool! New story! I’m not a fan of weddings but it’s better than the baseball story!

Why did this switch from the baseball story to the wedding/robbery story?

Ooh, I think I remember this one…

A different type of hobbled

Why does Mom always wear such frumpy dresses?

I remember this arc. One of the series’ best.

Uh oh ….

So this is the beginning of the story arc, Calvin sans Hobbes, iirc.

Hobbes having a lie in. Good for him………

im commenting at three am lol

As I have mentioned before, this story arc set back my belief that Hobbes is NOT part of Calvin’s imagination. I thought that the last panel showed Hobbes as a doll. In fact, as someone pointed out to me, it shows Hobbes’ tail. For over a year, I had been questioning my original supposition that Hobbes was only alive in Calvin’s imagination. That was after reading my first collection and seeing two strips which showed Hobbes as alive when completely alone. I had been looking for strips which showed Hobbes on his own and trying to see if he was always alive on his own or whether he was ever a doll when on his own. As I say, I wrongly thought that this one showed him as a doll when on his own.

As people have already commented, they seem to have ditched the Baseball arc reprints after the first of its three weeks. That story arc got sadder as it went on but the same can be said of this story arc.

The betrothed couple will take one look at Calvin and say: “Nope! No children in THIS marriage!”

Calvin will get by, but what about poor Hobbes?

Home Alone!

While the boy’s away the Hobbs will play!

Noooooo how could you forget Hobbes? Calvin you had ONE job.

Taking Calvin to a wedding? What could possibly go wrong?

Wait! What happen to the baseball story?

What bride in her right mind would invite Calvin to a wedding.. Lets see.. 1) White Dress2) Flowers3) Wedding Cake4) Pictures and CALVIN!!!!!Even his own Godmother would not want him at her wedding, and what are his parents thinking? why didnt he invite Susie as his date?

Oh nooooo…. this certainly does not bode well. :(

The first wedding I ever went, I had to go. I was the ring bearer. I still have the pillow after nearly sixty years.

Big oops!!!!

I love this arc!

I love this story arc! :D

Starting one of Bill’s best arcs!

Oh, dear…

Do not forget your clip-on bow tie! The festive bright red one.

ooh! ooh! I know!

…he forgot to make his bed…

Oh no!

Oh no! Now Hobbes can knock everything to the floor.

this story haunts me to this day, whenever i go away of vacation I’m worried about it

This will not be pretty.

The manual transmission and the way Dad is leaning forward to let Calvin in the car by pulling up his seat makes me remember a hundred old cars from my life.

Oh boy! That can’t be good.

Prepare for the Calvin freak out

This is an excellent story arc; I just hope that it doesn’t stop in the middle as the previous one just did.

Can’t go without Hobbes.

Oooh, I love this story arc! I can picture Hobbes’s tail nonchalantly flipping around like an average cat’s tail in the last panel.

Tiger-tastrophe!

I felt that. Not all day but over night.

I think my mom had a dress just like Calvin’s mom

mom and dad don’t have names — I remember when I found out my parents’ names weren’t Mom and Dad. Could hardly believe it.

“Ahhh, a peaceful afternoon to sleep without that kid bothering me!” says Hobbes

Ohh, this arc. Yes, I remember it well.

He was rushed and not told they’d be gone overnight!

Oops. Major Oops.

Aughhh. Hobbessssss!!!!!!!!!

I left my Bear in the Cincinnati airport during a layover. You have NOOOO idea of the uproar caused in getting that Bear back!

Uh oh…

Switched to one of the best arcs I see.

Oh no!!!!

Hobbes !!

Never a good idea to leave a security whatever behind.

Hes just keeping the bed warm…! hahhahahahhahahahahaa
