Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 01, 2009

Let’s hear it for our Moms!

And in five minutes he’ll be raising hell.

Hobbes wants to be pampered too!

Could life be any better?

With all the grief that Mom takes from Calvin, she still shows her unwavering love with a warm blanket and a mug of hot chocolate. Aren’t Moms the greatest?

Here’s wishing all Moms out there an early Happy Mother’s Day!

Hopefully this strip is a prelude to some “snowman” strips. THOSE ARE THE GREATEST!!!

This shows that a mother is capable of loving even the wildest kid. Enjoy your hot cocoa, I think I’ll do the same, it’s soooo cold today :(

Hobbes looks like he’s in danger of catching fire in that last panel, are we talking grilled tiger steaks or singed kapok ;)

A more adult version of that drink is now calling to me Mocha coffee made with 3 heaped teaspoons of Bournville cocoa, double strnength espresso, half a mug of whipped cream some mini marshmallows and a final jolt of cream on top, all placed in the microwave ‘til it’s almost boiling over and finally sprinkled with some cocoa or flaked chocolate…. mmmm.

From all the mothers, thank you for the kind words. Hooray for the great fathers AND mothers.

Thanks MOM!

Thanks Dutchboy! I had 3 Calvins!

Ah yes, I have many warm childhood memories of my mom coming through in a pinch.

Come to think of it, she still does.

ahhhhh a perfect sunday for calvin and then hobbes…..

I miss my mother sometimes. She would have been 100 this year.

My mother is visiting her mother at the hospital today. I hope I never have to see my mum in the same state that she has to see my grandma.

I hope so, Prozino. Calvin has still to go to the tub today ….

My mother is visiting her mother at the hospital today. I hope I never have to see my mum in the same state that she has to see my grandma.

It’s hard, but you’ll manage. I hope your grandma is doing a little better.

Aww I miss my mom! She was always there for me and still always is. I love you mom!

My dear little mother is 94 and she’d still do that if she could!

I wish my mon was still around to thank! I sure miss her! And my kids miss her, they were her pride & joy!

God Bless Calvin’s mom for being so sweet to the little hellion. Bet she’d like to put a couple of Valium in his cocoa just to enjoy the calmer side of Calvin a little longer. (hee-hee)

When we were sick, my mom made us chicken noodle soup with crackers and tucked us in on the couch where we could watch TV, a great treat! And she always read to us. Sometimes we got “sick” just to stay home and soak up all that TLC.

Mammacass - I seem to remember hot cocoa was my Valium at Calvin’s age. But I get your drift.

Thanks Mom & Gramma for all the hot cocoa and hiney saving!

isn’t peanut butter still not allowed to eat?

ive always wondered is hobbes real or just a stuffed animal like he looks around adults?

I think the snowman was me :O

being from new england i remember as a young boy being out playing in 0 degree weather.i would come in with wet boots and feet. my mom would dry off my feet and take dry socks and put her hands in them rubbing them to get them warm and put them on my feet. ahh memories.thanks mom.

Hooray for moms!

Loving is what Moms do best.

i thought he was going to ask her what she was up to

This was rather heartwarming after the Uncle Max thread of last week (which I assume will continue tomorrow). Good to see Calvin being a little bit normal for a change.

this strip reminds me so much of my childhood. and thats a good thing. thanks mom!

sigh

@cruncher3, peanut butter was OK, it was only the pre-manufactured things like candy that were recalled. The factories that made the contaminated PB sold only to other companies. It wasn’t packaged for sale as peanut butter. Let’s hear it for homemade Peanut butter cups (chocolate dipped in peanut butter)!

Mother knows best!

They should repost this strip on Mother’s Day.

that is so sweet. my bro would have asked “what do you want?” if my mom would do that. calvin is so very loved.

those were the days. it seems like every dog I’ve had has been like Hobbes in the last panel.

moms just seem to know oh today we are having a heat wave in wny last i checked it was 24 degrees

What I wouldn’t give to be able to sit and talk to Mum one more time (and Dad to). There is so much that I want to tell them and so many questions that I would like to ask. Thanks Mum! Thanks Dad! I love you both.

“….and drink the Hot Chocolate?”

Hobbes Rocks

Oh my gracious! How nice thoughful of Calvin’s mother giving Calvin hot chocolate and peanut butter crackers? It is so unconditional love for Mother to treat children like that. I wish my mum would do the same thing. If she lives right now, she would be 85 years old. I miss her very much but I am so overjoyous that my mum’s spirit will always be around me all the time. She is in heaven, looks at us and radiantly smiles. I love my mum very much. Thanks Mum!

No teaguemj, thank YOU for putting up with kids like us. :)

I feel really great about now!!!

“Gosh I hope that was no one I knew.”

Oh that was priceless. That got a good laugh outta me.

My Mom is ALWAYS looking for ways to make my life a little easier. She is the best.

One of the rare tender and touching moments. -sniff- :’)

I wish…

Pampering Mom

Yeah, moms rule!!!

Go moms!

Hobbes is so cute in the second last panel. Thank you, Mom!

Hobbes tail is very near to the fire
