Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 06, 2010

I’m staying far away….

Sorry, kiddo, you’re on your own.

Everybody dropped dead Calvin, enjoy the world by yourself!

And Mom’s making monkey heads for dinner!

No Calvin because we agree with you at least sometimes. We’ve all been there at times.

You’re entitled to your feelings! Just don’t try to make me responsible for them.

Luv the expression in the third panel…I’ve worn the same expression on occasion.

You really dont want everybody to drop dead Calvin. Do you? Either way not many would volunteer to cheer you up now!!

Well aren’t you little Mr. Huggeble today!

Trying to have your maggots and eat them too, as usual, hmmmm?

I can honestly say I’ve never been that mad at anyone besides myself.

And BTW, Susan001, I believe the parenting way to put it circa 1955 was ” You want something to cry about? I’ll give you something to cry about…..”

Calvin, It’s a lonely path you’re headed down.

“Cheer up” successfull!

Alle Menschen san ma zwida …….

calvin, dont rely on people 2 cheer u up, theyll just piss u off even more

Where’s Hobbes? Calvin needs you Hobbes!

Tape him to the garage wall with some duct tape.

Whenever someone tells me they are in a bad mood - I know they are just looking for attention. So… I ignore them.

Been in a mood like that… But I didn’t want any cheering up, I would “send myself” to my room to cool off.

Judging from the comments, a lot of people seem to hate the world and the fact that they have to live in it. Well, the world does generally suck, but if we all got together and spread a little peace, love and good will around maybe we could change that. It would be worth a try.

i’m dying just as fast as i can, calvin.

Looks like somebody has been reading the details of the health care reform bill…

Years ago, I bought a t-shirt with the 2nd box printed on it. I wore it to work on a Friday. One of my bosses, the GM (who luckily also had a warped sense of humor) took one look at Calvin & the sentiment on my shirt, raised his eyebrows & said: “EVERYBODY!” Once in awhile, I still wear this shirt & while some people have no sense of humour, there are still some people who think this is a hoot!

must be Monday again

I wouldn’t come near you with a 49 and a half foot pole, Calvin.

I particularly like panels 2 & 3. Priceless.

“You want something to cry about? I’ll give you something to cry about…..”

~~~

If I had a dime for every time my dad said that to one of us… I’d be quite rich.

My husband was the role model for the second panel. And we’re still married.

jrbj - perhaps we could also all hold hands and sing “Kumbaya” (sp?). Iran would hear the noise, know that no one was paying attention, and launch!

Hobbs should remind him that ’ being a tiger he is always happy and loves everyone.’

“If life gives you lemons then make lemonade” I wonder what wine would taste like if made with his sour grapes?

If THIS isn’t the epitome (in the kids kingdom) of “Been there, Done that, Bought the shirt, Wore it home…”…then I don’t know WHAT is…or he could just use some freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies. (It’s just a suggestion…)

fer lefer, nice way to bring up the fact it is three kings day which marks the end of christmas. coffee turtle, no, no, it’s ssdd. redskins< NICE ONE! sorry to tell you this paul m. it’s vinegar. runninandreadin…….toll house? i’ll be right over!

1 redskins fan, if everyone had the attitude that you seem to adhere to the human race would have annihilated itself by now. Feel proud of yourself.

“Doesn’t anyone want to cheer me up?”

Arrgh! That me lad is what the grog is for!

When life hands you lemons, squeeze one into your rum.

When life gives you lemons, throw them at slow moving people.

“Vinegar” works for me too …Ronald. Still I wouldn’t want any sour pickles made out of that vinegar!

He doesn’t want hobbes. Hobbes would just get anoyed and push him in the mud again

“expectaions” Calvin…. tch ..tch…

A bucket of ice water applied topside should do the trick.

hey doesnt everyone feel that way every now and then…CUZ I KNOW I DO!!!

Bad day Calvin , So

The cheering up always makes it worse.

Gilda Radner used to sing a song called ”I Love To Be Unhappy” “I love to be unhappy I live to be in pain When days are full of sunshine I’m lookin’ for the rain”

Sometimes just going with it gets you over it.

I can’t agree with Calvin. It would be terrible if all of the people who are scum just dropped dead. Geez! There would be bodies everywhere! Big, stinking piles of rotting bodies.

I have to say that it would make it pretty uncomfortable for the 4 or 5 of us who are left.

This must be how Charles Joseph Whitman felt one morning.

Mr. Crabby Pants apparently didn’t get enough sleep last night.

I’m a big hugger emotionally and physically. Everybody just needs someone to listen sometimes without judgement. I talk to everyone everywhere I go and I especially will start up a conversation with someone who gives off the body language of having a hard day. Sometimes I don’t even have to say anything and someone will just start talking to me about their day. Afterwards I can just see the tension in their bodies just melt away. My husband says I have a gift. I think alot of wars in the world could be avoided if we all hugged each other more often.

i can see why hobbs is hiding today, calvin is such a grouch , he needs to stay away

People who need people… still think people are scum.

More proof that Calvin is an ENFP in training: like Linus Van Pelt, “I love mankind - it’s people I can’t stand!”

I feel like that sometimes..

I’d give cheering him up a shot, just to get a few more of those wonderful glowering expressions. His father seems to think this way sometimes, too…

Solutions:

get a snake book go play calvinball with hobbes teach yourself how to drive

spread your bad mood and irritate Susie

happy yet?

Sometimes it feels good to feel bad.

This is my favorite Calvin cartoon. I just have to laugh every time I read it.

and thats my teen daughter,,,

And—what makes you think you would be one of the chosen few?

That’s always what stops me when I wish God would just blot out the world and start afresh, with perfect people.

I wouldn’t be part of it.

No, Calvin. Enjoy your ‘angry’.

Porcupines have a hard time finding someone to hug them.

If life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

Obviously, it all depends on who is doing the choosing. In my hypothetical, the chooser is ME. Odds are that I’m going to make the cut.

“It’s good to be the King.”

oh well, negative has its price Calvin

No, no one wants to cheer you up

Insulting his own kind, somebody better cheer him up!

well at least hes not hiding how he feels
