Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 28, 2024

Well here’s something to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Turkey Murder Day !

You made your bed, now lie in it…..

The kid ain’t dumb…

Keep expectations low.

Calvin looks proud of himself in the first panel

But now, it’s gonna get messed up again.

Calvin taking credit for what Hobbes did, again.

The real reason, Calvin knows it’s that time when Santa is starting to make his lists.

Calvin’s smarter than he looks. Or acts.

Why you little sh**.

“As god is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly…”

Reverse Physiology?

Underpromise, overdeliver taken to extremes!

All that time to make his bed and he puts his shoes up on it…

Cal is gaming his mom again. She’ll catch on soon.

Best wishes to all today, a tradition that has not changed even in the face of floods of Christmas ads. Enjoy it while you can. Lots of changes ahead.

Thought maybe it was Calvin trying to get onto Santa’s ‘nice’ list but he doesn’t play that game.

I think I know that maneuver. Someone close to me uses it all the time. lol

It was Hobbes that probably did the actual job.

Mom didn’t inspect the hospital corners?

That certainly was my kids!

a cunning plan

Fun that no comment here is about today’s comics trip !

to those in the USA Happy Thanksgiving. To those not, have a blessed day. As the ancient question goes – April showers bring May flowers, what did the May flower bring?

The secret of success- set the bar low.

The lesson: Set the bar low, and people will be overjoyed when you accidentally stumble over it.

Just how stupid is this kid? He appears to not realize that “that’s the reason I usually don’t” implies that he does not like it when his mother is nice.

Calvin’s utterly static personality means one can read only so much Calvin and Hobbes before tiring of it for at least a while and moving on. I know that’s the same limitation seen in any static comic character, such as Dennis the Menace (who of course is simply a less intelligent and more well-meaning version of Calvin) or Garfield; but it’s more striking in Calvin and Hobbes because the strip is so intellectual.

Remember: If you always do your best, it becomes your baseline, and people will start expecting more from you.
