Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 11, 2009

Women are always asking me the same question. But will I tell, no. But I will show you.

A squashed chillbain?

This is going to be my only post tonight :

Face it Calvin Susie can read you like a book. Come to think of it so can everyone here .

Now I got to get back to my party. See you all later.

But Calvin keep in mind the possession is nine tenths of the law.

I think Calvin is flirting.

Dang! She spoiled the fun, don’t you just hate when that happens. Then again how many times have you tried this stunt.

Twenty-five years later, their son Calvin Jr. is going to come up to them and say the same thing … and they’re going to look at each other … and bust up laughing.

So true, rayannina. Those two are made for each other; Calvin just won’t admit it yet.

Thankfully the feeling isn’t mutual, else Calvin and Hobbes’ club G.R.O.S.S. (Get Rid Of Slimy girlS) would be countered by Susie’s club G.L.O.B.S. (Get Lost Onery BoyS).

Sussie’s so sick of Clavin’s creepy lunch and stuff…lol

genius!

Don’t be such a spoil sport, Susie—a squished toad can’t hurt anybody.

every time i read this strip, i always wonder what was in his hands, well that can be the 7th wonder of the world, or the 8th, whichever comes next

no one in their right mind would guess…..but i guess i would…. c’mon susie whyy you ruining Calvins discovery

I think I know exactly what was there (or maybe more accurately was not, as Calvin’s hands were basically empty).

is it a booger?

It isn’t sugar & spice & all things nice.

Ladywolf17: I hate to be grumpy or rude, but while your comments re the strip are interesting, your continued personal digressions are distracting. What if we all made off-subject comments, e.g., “I have to get ready for work,” “I have to go clean the house,” etc.? The forum would become a chore to read! It’s not about us; it’s about Calvin.

Calvin sings: “I’m smushing up my baby bumble-bee…” “Hey! I’ll show Susie.”

Calvin and Susie are obviously hot for each other.

maybe it is nothing but gummy worms he had in his mouth

It’s a miniature Calvin….

Good for you Susie. I’d walk away too.

Florchi: I agree. The toon cmnts are fun and (sometimes) interesting. Leave your personal stuff on MySpace, Twitter, Facebook, anywhere but here.

Bill Watterson has established repeatedly that Calvin and Susie’s relationship is akin to that of most young boys who have feelings for a girl, but believe that girls in general are something to be avoided, and therefore express it via annoying said girl. I still love this specific strip, because Watterson leaves what disgusting thing Calvin has to the readers’ imagination.

“I suppose that depends on your point of view.” That’s deep!

Florchi and nlnap19 - with all due respect, please don’t bring up the past. People are entitled to and have made friends here (take Big Top for example). There is nothing wrong with that as long as it’s within reason.

Now, back to me reminiscing my ‘Susie’ years….

Oh, how I would love to see an adult version of Calvin, with Susie and he married, facing the dilemmas of raising a child too. It might be so, so hilarious.

I guess that it will be a tiny spider in Calvin’s holding hands to show Susie a nice surprise, eh! Ha!

green_engineer, Florchi and nlnap19 AND don’t bother to post the comments about politics, too! I don’t want to read about it. Just post the comments about comic strips for enjoyable and fun. Peace!

Florchi & nlnap19: I am in total agreement with you about the Wolf family…and I dont’ think I’m being mean by saying, again, that “they” sound phony and are most likely one and the same person.

Anyhow…Today’s C&H: Calvin has to work on a more innocent look than the one in panel 3.

The one-tenth is Calvin wouldn’t be able tp pull his hands apart becuz of the glue that keeps them stuck together.

Way to go Calvin. Good poker face. She’d never guess what’s in your hand now!

C’mon Susie!! Just one guess…don’t be a spoilsport.. lol

TapiocaHead, the model-airplane thread was over 2009/06/07, so it couldn’t be glue (remember, his hands were functioning nicely yesterday when he surprised Hobbes with the cattle-prod)–though it could be the cattle-prod from yesterday.

Awesome, I am so curious about what he’s got in his hands (I need to know) that I’m going to be thinking about it all day, do girls have no curiosity!…

Ah I had a girl like that when I was wee bit of a lad no higher than a grasshoppers knee, she was skinny, redheaded and as cute as a button, she went to a different upper school than everyone else because her parents moved so we lost touch, I saw her once again many years later and she was still cute ^_^ Little things can change the world.

I would tend to agree with green_engineer concering Florchi and nlnap19, many people here make personal comments sometimes off topic, peoples continued annoyance with just Ladywolf for this shows that they have developed a personal dislike, and insisting on making posts about it is the same if not worse than what they are accusing Ladywolf of, because their personal off topic comments are directed at other people.

If it bothers you that much then just read as far as their names and then skip to the next poster, very simple and a lot more mature than sniping at people.

Well that’s my personal sniping done for the day, time for me to go back to being mature again lol

If Calvin opens his hands the worm will get away they always do

I think that Calvin is doing this as part of a larger plan. He figures Susie will not look in his hands, so therefore he gets her to … (run away? miss seeing something she will kick herself for later? ) Then he springs the trap. And she flattens him. It’s shameless how they flirt

Joy618, i was reading this and thinking the exact same thing, lol! I do this with my sister all the time. my mom will give me something and tell me to show her, and by doing what Calvin does I get to keep it to myself! hahaha sorry Calvin maybe next time!

good morning! how about this one.

Calvin: Hey Susie! guess what I have in my hands. Susie: It better be something so totallly gross or your wasting my time. Calvin: oh it………….. Before Calvin can finish his sentence Susie quickly plants a big wet one on Calvin and walks away smiling and laughing, as our stunned hero just stands there with a blank expression on his face.

(Well excuse me people for having an active life style maybe I should complain when you go off topic).

And stop bringing up my past, I do not dwell on it anymore. PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL OF YOU. SEE YOU LATER.

Most probably, it is yesterday’s cattle prod in Calvin’s hands.

I smile remembering a little boy chasing me home with grass burrs, throwing them at me occassionally. I cried, and my mom said: I guess he just loves you.– Ha!

Remember Anne of Green Gables and her tormentor?

Susie doesn’t quite fit sugar and spice and everything nice but Calvin does meet all the qualifications for snakes and snails and puppy dogs tails not to mention cow prods and transmogrifiers!

@ladywolf17, your version would have been really hilarious! I can’t even imagine what Calvin would have done. P&L

A note to some of you: Do you remember that comic the other day that had Calvin looking at his reflection in the puddle I do. ladywolf is at a turning point in her life. She is growing up into a young woman and will soon leave her teenage years behind. Some of you hate it when she goes off topic. That is understandable, as I hate typing this. If my daughter says something like (got to get back to my party see you later) couldn’t you just say something like (ok see you later ladywolf have fun). I mean come on people aren’t we supposed to be sophisticated mature adults here. Rest assured she is working hard to better herself at this online interactive thing. All I ask is just a little patience from all of you. You all are great people to be around and I enjoy each and everyone of you. now lets all get back to enjoying Calvin and Hobbes.

I don’t understand this one a whole lot. WHAT IS HE HOLDING?! I do like the underlying “puppydog love” thing that is going on. Ladywolf, I assume the party is over now, I hope you had fun.

What indeed is Calvin holding in his hands. I guess that will be one of life’s little mysteries.

@wolfbyte, I agree with you. Unfortunately, not everyone is as mature as their birthyear would indicate. Those who are can cut a little slack for the youth who sometimes are a bit indiscrete. But if they never tried, they would never learn better, and it’s the responsibility of every adult to help others learn how to be more mature, at least a little.

At least Calvin has an excuse for acting like a little boy. And for having Suzie guess what sort of slimy, gross thing he might be holding–all the funnier since we don’t know, and have to imagine something probably ten times worse than if we did know….

Well said wolfbyte. Nobody, at least not us people who comment, own this website. There are people who say things that I find disgusting, not your daughter, but that is what you get here

Ladywolf and wolfbyte are the same people! That’s why people are annoyed! How that is not clear to the rest of you is beyond me. I come to read Calvin and Hobbes and escape and instead come crashing back to reality because I have to read this nonsense.

You don’t have to read that nonsense. Nobody is forcing you to read anything you don’t want to read.

You could just skip the “nonsense”, seriously! Dont be too harsh on ppl, please!

whether the “wolfs” are two people or not, i don’t see any reason they should not be on this site, commenting. just like the people who rant about conspiracies, or other topics not directly related to the strips themselves, you can consider the source and skip the line if you recognize the name. once or twice should be soon enough for most folks to decide if it’s worth their time to read. the angst is totally unnecessary.

Sorry…I was feeling pretty angsty yesterday. Still annoys me though.
