Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 06, 2009

Ah, the lack of gullible Moms is a tragic thing…

Must be a mistake. They just ran this one.

No, I’ve definitely seen this one recently before, too.

She isn’t any fun at all.

This is a repeat…this is a repeat.

But it is one of the better ones! LOL

yeh abt 2 months ago

Mom tried that when she was a kid too.

how do they think of a new idea everyday .. .amazing

FlyGuyP38: Some weeks ago, I saw it too!

Yes, they ran it September 11.

My wife always says this is what will happen to me, as I always hold my sneezes in. For those of you with a good Calvin memory - I tell her I’m trying to blow my socks off.

Yesterday I sang with our choir before audience. And just within a song a terrible sneeze went up. I came to the end of the song, but than I burst!

it’s a glitch in the system

Mom could have pretended he lost his head and turned it into a where is Calvin’s head game. Then magic Mom could have done a hokus pokus and made the head reappear when she pulled his shirt down. Adults keep fooling themselves with reality when it is really the illusion of relative material existence. Kids seem to know that, but somewhere along the way we all forget.

This one actually ran on October 25th…but is funny enough to see again!

BuzzDog You are correct. I finally found it myself. What I remember more about this strip was the animated attachment by Hugh B. Hayve of the same strip.

It’s still one of the best ones and I don’t mind seeing it again so soon.

I wonder why it’s repeated again so soon?

Folks, I hate to tell you this, but they are ALL repeats.

wcorvi We know that - at least most of us do. They just normally don’t repeat a particular strip so soon after its last showing, which was Oct 25th in this one’s case.

Yehh, it’s a repeat!!! must be a mistake! how funny!

Made me laugh yet again.

They finished the entire series quite some time ago, and started over, but I’m not sure they started at the beginning again.

a busy mom just isn’t any fun.

I don’t think Calvin’s mom actually likes him.

wonder why they repeated this one.

Has Bill Watterson retired? I had noticed occasional repeats, but I was under the impression this was still an active comic. (I had been absent for a while.)

Man!! I really DID oversleep!!!

gbwooden Watterson stops doing this strip in December of ‘95.

Man, did you ever oversleep!

Susan001 It’s just a comic. No doubt this is how Calvin perceives his parents to be in his warped little world. And if they weren’t the way they are portrayed, would it be as funny?

Mom, be more enthusiastic

Did somebody say rerun?

And you’re talking through your… bellybutton?

That’s OK–THere’s a new C& H reference over at Foxtrot today…

this is an older one….still excellent tho

How gullible do they think we are? They already repeated this one recently.

Mom is such a killjoy!

I generally sneeze in threes - each one progressively more violent than the previous one. Though I have yet to sneeze my head off. That would be cool, in a restaurant at lunch time, perhaps.

Here we go again!

she’s neither gullible nor a sport. pooh pooh!

Jon, I knew a man who used to keep his sneezes inside. He back blew his sinuses into his brain and it killed him. No joke, his name was Thibideaux (not sure I spelled that right).

@ everyone… they are all “repeats”. Watterson’s last strip was on December 31, 1995 i.e. fourteen years ago. He’s now living the simple life in Ohio.

Yes, it’s a repeat…. just like all of them are repeats. As far as I know, there are no fresh new Calvin cartoons. All the toon’s are in the books.

Unless of course … they are doing repeats just like TV seasons run repeats when nothing new is available… or maybe the artist is ill.

I THINK THESE COMMENTS REPEAT MORE THAN THE COMIC DOES (yes, i shouted … and you would too if you had read all the comments)

As my husband likes to say to me after a particularly huge sneeze, “She huffed & she puffed & she blew her face off!”

yea
