Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 13, 2010

Was it young Susie?

she always gets picked on. LOL

It is a shame that she has to sit next to him. Yet, probably entertaining.

AHHHHH….Young love

Isn’t that one of those war tactics……shoot one of your own?

Calamari surprise.

Inka dinka doo.

It seems, that it was Susi!

She oughta kick him in the tenticals.

Wait ‘till she develops…he’s screwed.

….”kick him in the tentacles” ROFLMAO!

Nice defensive move!

wow wat a face she has got!!! Great calvin

Calvin, just keep running and don’t look back.

She’s gonna make sushi out of him…

Why does everyone assume Calvin’s to blame? I don’t even see him in the strip.

Lewreader It’s a given - like letting go of a hammer and knowing it will fall. You don’t need to see it fall.

That technique is much more effective underwater.

The wormwood and the gall of it.

With natural shooting ability like that, Calvin’s true calling in later life will be that of a Marine Corps sniper. Hu Rah!

Twenty years from this Suzie becomes Mrs. Calvin and bears a whole new litter of Calvins and Suzies. It’s too bad Bill Watterson gave it up.

Got her and got her good!

Reminds me of my shenanigans in school.

The really funny thing is that C&H was drawn between 1985 and 1995. Fountain pens and ink squirting was history even then. I quit using fountain pens when I was in Junior High School in the mid 60’s .

Lewreader is right. Calvin always gets the blame. Where’s the evidence? To quote Bart Simpson: “I didn’t do it. You didn’t see me do it. You can’t prove anything.”

True, Calvin is technically not seen at the scene of the crime. Let’s look at the clues.

1) The dust cloud left behind by the culprit appears to have originated from the desk, implying that it’s a student. Also not that Calvin is usually at this particular desk.

2) The culprit pretended to be a squid, so he/she must have a vivid imagination.

3) The target was Suzie, so the culprit may have something against her.

4) Suzie calls for Miss Wormwood, so it can’t be her.

5) The strip is called Calvin and Hobbes, and 99% of the strips have one or both of them in it, while the remaining few talk about them.

Therefore, based off this overwhelming evidence, it must be Calvin’s mom!

Susi is the one, who is dirty!

This comment gets the blue ribbon today!

the big leap in technology for ink pens, I remember, was the introduction in the late fifties of the ink cartridge pen…..it was so cool, you got these little plastic cartridges of blue or black ink, dropped them down the barrel of the pen , then screwed in the nib part of the pen on top which punctured the top of the cartridge releasing the ink…..no muss, no fuss! Heck I’m so old, the wooden desks back then had a 3 inch hole in the corner that, we were told, was for use of the old fashioned inkwells dating back to the thirties & forties

please excuse the miscellaneous ramblings … I think it has something to do with the drinking water in tulsa—-

did I ever tell you about the job in tulsa i once had ,teaching homeless people how to speak spanish in art class?

Suzie’s such a cry baby………..

In trouble again, Calvin?

Calvin’s homeroom is the principal’s office.

Good Morning, Lonewolf I think we are in agreement there, too. LOL.

Somebody quick slap a piece of paper on her face so it can be used for a Rorschach Test… Oh and then administer the test to Calvin!

run calvin,take advantage of the confusion.make your escape.

I was going to say that it’s been long since school kids used fountain pens, but you all beat me to it. I have fountain pens that I have used for calligraphy, but they are prone to clogging with the waterproof ink, so I generally use dipping pens. The last scroll I did was GothicE type font but needed to be so small I used a crow quill type pen.

6-year olds don’t use pens at all in school. They’re still into the pencil and 1-inch-apart lines.

Add Nighthawk to list of Okies I posted yesterday (or did I?) It seems like we are well represented in the comic reading world. My reason is that the local paper’s comic page is awful. Can’t understand why Peanuts reruns are found funny in paper or on TV. We get Mallard Fillmore but not Doonsbury, so guess how the rest of the paper is slanted!

Told you so!

I don’t care what girls do, 6 and 7 year old boys DO NOT like anything about girls, unless they’re the kind that wishes they were born one, but that’s a different story.

“Calamari surprise. Inka dinka doo.”

Well done, cleokaya!

Jan thanks for pointing that out, your’e right that is not realistic at all. NOT FUNNY. Thinking about….tigers cant talk either!

That Susie is a trouble-maker. Always disrupting the class like this!

The pen was an implement of destruction clandestinely brought from home to wreak havoc.

u cannot prove that calvin did it he was not on sight

nighthawks: i remember actually using those ink wells back in 2nd &3rd grade, I guess i’m pretty old, maybe i did something wrong, but i had one of those cartridge pens and one time the ink poured out of the barrel all over a pair of tan denim jeans

There are fountain pens and there are cartridge pens. Both can make a huge mess, but it’s the fountain pen that can actually squirt. I occasionally used cartridge pens through high school. Messed up a few shirts and at least one pair of jeans.

I had an old fountain pen that I filled with “invisible” ink (made from my chemistry set). Wrote an entire, long, letter to my cousin. Who then had to call me to ask how to read it. I told her to warm the paper. She got to read most of it, except the page she caught on fire.

I will agree this is no accident

If I were Calvin (and, sadly, I am not), I would blame Hobbes, the same way he blames Calvin.

Only Calvin knows who the real culprit is (but he is not in the picture). He left Hobbes taking care of his stuff, and Suzie got her due when she was “trying to borrow” Calvin´s pen.

Notice there is no writing materials on her desk, yet Calvin´s stuff is out, further proof of her evil attempt to do her class work while Calvin wasn´t there.

Typical Suzie stuff. Shame on her!!

Calvin went straight either to the principal’s office or home.

That’s old school.
