Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 16, 2009

Calvin, in trouble again….

Dads are always the ultimate in life forms.

Blast em. You may never get a better chance.

Better set that blaster to “Stun”!

Oh no! Calvin won’t be able to sit for a week.

Go for it Calvin, It’s worth it because you may never get this opportunity again.

If you do it, Calvin, you won’t see your next birthday!

This is why I hide the dart guns in my house

Maybe he will be in trouble again, but mom asked him to wake up dad. I qoute: “By popular request.” This time at least Calvin could have a real excuse.

Calvin has the alltime best imagination…

Is that Nerwin in the second to last pannel??

Spaceman Spiff by popular request is the ultimate Sunday treat.

Dad you need to install a lock on your bedroom door.

Calvin’s dad will do what I did. Reach up an arm, pull the kid down under, and pretend to go back to sleep while they squirm. It only happens once.

locks are good. Shackles are better

Dad is sleeping so unsuspecting, if he knows…….

I think that dad may be awake After all, how long can a six year child be standing on you and you not wake up? This is going to be a special moment between Calvin and Dad. Dad’s not all bad.

everyone, let’s have a poll for what our favorite strips are. these are mine:

1:Calvin and Hobbes

2:Peanuts

3:Foxtrot

4:The Far Side

5:Big Nate

I remember this cartoon giving me nightmares when it first came out. Just like one referring to Kafka. Excellent work!!!

…..oh, you mean MOST favorite… this, of course is a list of the all time WORST

*Why doc, whatever do you mean? Moi? (placing innocent look on face with fingers crossed behind back)

My daily reads:

Calvin and Hobbs Broom Hilda Brewster Rocket FoxTrot (classics) Frank and Ernest Free Range Lio

I sometimes look at Wizard of Id BC

I used to read Peanuts when it was new.

Blast him, Dry!!

JFri, I will right around that certain witching hour tonight! Wanna help?

Spaceman Spiff explores the outer reaches of the universe… by popular request. But even then he’s concocting trouble!

Dry, after his comment at the other place?

YOU BET!!!

I hope that blast of hot air is just coming from his nose.

Today’s comic is a classic example of why Calvin & Hobbes still rules the comic world.

Thanks a million Bill Watterson wherever you are.

Hey, does anyone have all the calvin books? if you dont, im a bigger fan

A reclining alien you say Is there a recoil to your ray gun ? Because you may be tumbling down off of said Alien

The old saying “Never Wake a Sleeping Bear” applies to dads too…

Havn’t seen Spaceman Spiff for longer time!

My list:

1) Calvin and Hobbes 2) Calvin and Hobbes 3) Calvin and Hobbes 4) Calvin and Hobbes 5) Gaston

=DDD

Dunno what’s worse: getting hit by a so called “death ray blaster” or being awakened by a trumpet (what Calvin does in another strip)LOL

Can you vote more than once for a cartoon?

Calvin is toast.

i’d vote, but couldn’t possibly narrow it down to 5 strips, so i won’t bother to try. i wouldn’t wnat to slight any of them.

Pibgorn - Just because I’m well liked there. Big Top - It’s just cool to hang out there. Calvin and Hobbes - It inspires my imagination. Garfield - What’s not to like? C’ est La Vie - What ! I’m a girl and I just like the comic strip.

What five strips I like best depends on which five are the best for that particular day.

The ones I don’t like at all, on the other hand…

I read more then 5. this strip included and peoples comments as well. I do not read everyone since I have books to read. Here are some not all Andy Brenda Cathy FB&FW Stone Soup Gasline Alley I also read DT. I will end here there are more. For comedy Foxtrot, One Big Happy,Pickles

My favorites:

Calvin & Hobbes Dilbert - although I can’t find it here, dang it. Peanuts W.T. Duck B.C. Garfield Foxtrot New Adventures of Queen Victoria

DIE Dad,DIE!!!!!!!!

By the way, saturntv, try dilbert.com

Agnes Baby Blues Calvin & Hobbes Mutts Peanuts Pickles

It’s like Calvin loves being in trouble.

I read comics from 4 different sites a day plus have a friend send me some from The Daily Ink which I think is supposed to be paid for but she gets forwards from a friend and then forwards them onto other friends. So my favorites are not all here at gocomics.

Garfield is probably my all time favourite. I also love Pooch Cafe and all comics with dogs and cats like Buckles, Fred Bassett, and Dog eat Doug.

I like family ones like Stone Soup, PreTeena, Boomerangs, Pajama Diaries, Sally Forth, Blondie, Drabble, Pickles and others.

I like Retail since I know that world so well.

I know I’m forgetting many that I read every day,

I just love it when he does Spaceman Spiff! Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite but I also read Garfield but in books now to my granddaughter. My son collects the old Far Side books and they’re a rip. I have some of the old Yogi Bear comic books that I’ve collected.

Stone Soup For Better or Worse Pickles Calvin and Hobbes Brenda Starr The first three I can identify with certain periods of my life. The other two are sheer fantasy.

Spaceman spiff shouldn’t really want to wake the sleeping monster ..

Calvin is way too small a kid in comparison to Dad in the last frame. Check back to the strips of last week on the camping trip. Favoourites of mine: Dilbert Foxtrot Garfield etc…
