Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 29, 2010

I’ve had those days, Calvin…

that’s because your body is smarter than your brain is.

One of lifes realities.

OH! you have a brain?? I know someone in Alice and Wonderland who might change places with you!!!!

Often I say, you must work harder for earning more money, but my body doesn’t do it!!

That’s the reason why I get my coffeemaker ready the night before so I just have to push the button when my alarm goes off in the morning!

C’mon, Calvin, switch into Spaceman Spiff mode and put that imagination to work as your motivation!

Bring out Hobbes! I’m sure he can retrieve the truck.

The brain is willing but the body is weak.

So much for the experts to say that our mind control our body movement..hmph…so this mean that it is not 100% proven..

Prudence over valour!

Both my brain and body do not listen to me.

Sometimes it seems as though my mind is sleeping while my body’s awake and vice-versa.

Good Morning, Morg, Mike & ♠LoneWerewolf♠

Alice in Wonderland? or did you mean The Wizard of Oz?

Yup. I’ve had those days as well…

**Good morning Marg! Good morning Fran and Kizzzy! Good Morning L’Wolf! Good Morning Grog!**

Steal The Truck Calvin!

Welcome to the club Calvin.

No wonder Calvin’s body doesn’t believe his brain, look how messed up it has gotten lately in those scuffles with Hobbes.

When he gets old enough, his brain will write checks, that his body can’t cash!

@greatgreenmoose..YES!!! my brain wasn’t working at ALLLL!!!!!!!!!,, thank you, gee, don’t fail me now body………..

The body and the mind always have different ideas. They just reverse as you get older!

Good afternoon all.

An experience I have had many times .

This one reminds me of all the “Peanuts” comics I’ve seen where poor little love-struck Charlie Brown would make all these elaborate plans to introduce himself to the object of his affect, “the little red-haired girl” … only to always chicken out at the last minute because he simply couldn’t get his body and brain to work together at the exact same time in order to do what he so longed to do.

At the age of 67 problems with the mind-body relationship become increasingly more frequently experienced. Calvin is only six. He needs help. And a lot more sympathetic and kind friends. He seems to be a loner. Haven’t his parents noticed this?

A lot of my checks just bounce now!

I don’t understand why he doesn’t ask a teacher to get the truck back, and get Moe expelled for bullying, too.

And once you convince your body, you will then need to convince Moe’s body.

My brain never believes my body…

It’s true, Calvin is especially susceptible to bullies because he has no friends. Being a loner is his chosen lifestyle and it shouldn’t come with this kind of penalty.

But it’s reality, and this is where we loners get the moxie to defend ourselves later. It’s a loner learning experience. A Moe eventually comes along for every single one of us, and better sooner than later.

I don’t remember how this story turns out, so I’m following with interest. I seem to remember more encounters between Calvin and Moe.
