Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 27, 2024

The monster can also grill it up for you, Hobbes.

As long as Hobbes can pounce on the monsters and beat them in a fight, there’s nothing to worry about.

Hobbes always has Important Questions!

Pushy friends

And he can serve it on a golden plate, with a little bit of meat and nice can of tuna.

The monsters are getting cunning.

The monsters have a minifridge under the bed just so they can keep the salmon fresh.

Apart from the privileged information, basic instinct of the feline will take over the social attachments and he is giving in to the trade off!

That would be the end for the kid, at last!!!!

Salmon? I thought Hobbes loved tuna.

If Hobbes loves salmon so much, maybe he could join the Alaskan grizzlies on the salmons’ upstream migration.

Are they “ill-tempered”?

Well, that’s a start…

When it comes to salmon, Hobbes will fall hook, line and sinker.

“Throw in some tuna and you’ve got a deal!”

The monster’s line, “Big shiny toy for you under the bed” reminds me of some chat messages I have been getting recently about my package being held up at the post office and they need my address so they can send it to me. I’m just as suspicious as Calvin is; they aren’t going to paralyze me with some vile secretion.

A delightful strip which shows again Hobbes’s feline and human sides. Watterson explains in The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book that he saw Hobbes as more feline than human but had to give him some human qualities which Calvin could relate to.

Salmon eh. Me want.

Poncho would totally throw Chaz to the wolves for a tasty meal in a heartbeat!

Poltergeist?

Cal’s nightmares are more fun than a circus

Every tiger has his price.

At least you know what Hobbes’ is truly loyal to….his stomach! I am kinda wondering how neither one of them smelled the fish if it was under the bed before they turned in for the night. Probably for the same reason they didn’t see the monsters under there before they climbed in bed.

“off the bed”…..not “over the bed”

I might even toss Calvin under the bed if the salmon is smoked salmon. Sorry kid. :-q

it would seem that the monsters have some brains after all!

Been nice knowing you, Calvin.

……going to any length!!!!!

The monster union has few scruples.

Love Calvin and Hobbes! That kid, ( and artist ) sure has some refreshingly funny vivid imagination. Wish he never put down his brush and pen.

LOL… ‘is the salmon fresh?" Great line. See’ya on the other side Calvin.

Hobbes can also be all fangs, no brains.

The monsters are lying, boys. There are no toys, and no salmon either.

Pennywise?

This made me laugh. My kind of comic.

It scares out bigger bugs, snakes and other thing you do NOT want to lie down on.

It’s not whether you Would sell your soul, it’s for how much.

Seeing Hobbes walk in a circle before lying down reminds me of the cat me and my family had in my teenage years and early adulthood doing so. Our current and past dogs have also done it, but Hobbes doing it reminds me more of our old cat.

The fact that the monster had to check the salmon first shows his sincerity

Get the scary monsters in the closet to come & take care of the under the bed ones!

To pack down the grass for their bed.

It’s easy to overcook tuna, stick with salmon.

Hobbes never struck me as the gullible type.

If at first you don’t succeed, look for a weak point! And it may be a friend.

snicker

I wonder why Mr. and Mrs. Calvin’s Parents don’t hear them.

I absolutely love the detail of “Hang on, I’ll check….”
