Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 20, 2009

If your pants fall off, you’ll die even sooner.

Boy ! What a show !

This would put superman to shame!

The moon comes out early this time of year, doesn’t it?

Calvin could die three times. 1) His pants fall off. 2) His fall to earth. 3) Susie seeing him pants-ed.

Maybe it’ll be a News helicopter like in Dr. Pepper’s ad, What’s the worst that could happen?

“Wanna get away?**

Got any more good ideas, Calvin?

This is one of those examples that Mothers use to explain why you always need to have clean underwear.

You’re in trouble now Calvin. Not that I really know, but I wonder if you’ve got your undercarriage to close to the centre of lift.

the first thing u do on getting down is gain some weight :P

Balloon on pants is possible but to see nothing is horrible!

No you won’t Calvin. You won’t see a thing.

What is the penalty for violating the laws for physics?

Hahahaha! you crack me up!

Where is Susie when Calvin needs her?

I thought it was bad when he was holding on with both hands but this is far worse!

Mom gave bad advice. If they were clean when you put them on, they wouldn’t be now.

hahahha哈哈哈哈哈O(∩_∩)O哈！

Yukoner

The underwear may have started out clean, but if it were me up there, I might have soiled them by now.

Cute. ———————–

This is getting better every day. I’m lovin it.

Let it all hang out.

I hope those are his lucky underpants.

Calvinator said: What is the penalty for violating the laws for physics ? As always, Calvin has to learn it the hard way.

Cartoon physics strikes again.

cap’n shoulda turned on the ‘fasten seat belt’ sign! Calvin is now free to move about the country . .

(background teletype noise) This just in, a kid and a balloon were spotted entering restricted airspace. Lets go to our on-the-spot reporter in Newschopper 9, take it away Brenda…

Up ,Up, and Away with Calvin’s Beautiful Balloon.

(teletype noise continues)….In a related story, yesterday the migratory flight patterns of waterfowl went mysteriously askew for the first time in history.

There’s nothing worse than being “pantsed” by a balloon…unless it’s by your girlfriend’s older bro while your chattin’ with her and her girlfriends, while in your gym shorts, lookin’ rather studly…which of course never happened to me.

J.A.D.

Like a fine wine, this strip improves with age.

No one will mention about Calvin wearing a G-thong. The strip looks more likely black and white. If color shows on his underpant that will be definitely underpant, not G-thong.

I thought Calvin had his lucky pair of rocket underpants…boy, would THEY be a great help, now, huh? lol

Now that balloon really has some aire !

That’s life!

at least calvin was able to tie the balloon string to his pants and not just let go, the balloon might have gotten away

Wildmustang, I believe Calvin is sporting a pair of briefs, otherwise known as tightie-whities.

As an aside, have you ever wondered why a single piece of underwear is commonly referred to as a set of or a pair of undershorts?

Maybe Calvin can slip his arms through the leg holes in his pants and right himself again That way he can see the birds and newschoppers when they get there.

I guess because they’re usually worn under a pair of trousers. Or because they have a pair of leg openings – [like trousers have a pair of legs]. Undershorts would be difficult to put on, or to wear, without those openings.

This is the episode where you finally learn Calvin’s last name:

Murphy!!

Exposed ???

How do you know Calvin’s last name is Murphy? I never have recalled there ever being a time when his last name was said!

I know how this sequence ends! Let’s just say that Calvin will eventually be “safe”! lol!

Are those Calvin Klein underpants?

Jillandscout - it’s a reference to “Murphy’s Law” - whatever can go wrong, will.

Same reason a bra is singular?

BOTTOMS UP!

Never mind a pair of pants – Calvin needs a pair-o-chute!

Cameloo,

Calvin has the required black and white thing going on but I doubt he has enough of the bored and sultry look needed to be in Calvin Kleins.

Don’t kick off your shoes, Calvin!

How Smart. Ha ha. Got any more good ideas?

Lets hope he can fly. Haha

Calvin Murphy was a point guard for the Houston Rockets for several years starting in 1970.

At least he’s not a plumber………….

Hey Yukoneric, are you acually in Yukon? If so, were?

Baslim the Beggar: Yes, I think English is wonderful, too! and so interesting…

the comments were as entertaining this time as the strip!

…And you thought having vertigo was bad…

Ha ha, never happened to meBlush
