“But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb. The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.”
II Peter 2:22
As sambo10 said yesterday, “The comment does tie in with the comic strip.” If I could, I might take sambo10 to an IHOP for whole-grain pancakes. I hope that’s not politically incorrect. I never understood that one, since Little Black Sambo was set in India, not Africa.
Calvin is the only one allowed to do any mud-slinging today. :o) HAPPY Independence Day! Yes, I know; officially it’s tomorrow.
I remember looking for fossils on the playground, holding hands with a boy in third grade…my sister told on me that night and was upset when I didn’t get into trouble…she looked just like Calvin in the last panel! Happy Independence Day, everyone!
Again Happy Fourth of July Everyone! The fireworks last night were outstanding! The fair was alot of fun, our town really knows how to throw a party!
I was three years old when my parents found me Eskimo Kissing a little boy behind us in church! I didn’t even know who he was at the time. Thirteen years later I was approached by a guy in a bar who wanted to know if I wanted to rub noses with him. I found out his family had a summer house. I gave him a kiss on the cheek before we left. Oh, first love!

Thanks very much for the Ctrl-wheel tip, I never knew that. I used to save some strips with small font dialogas a jpeg and then enlarge it. You just made reading these endless comments all worthwhile. Greatly appreciated.
Hobbes has always been Calvin’s alter-ego. Hobbes always says what Calvin cannot at that age, and visa-versa. That will be all of the dime-store psychology for today. Enjoy blowing things up and overeating barbeque!
“In the Spring a young man’s fancy…”
Calvin doesn’t look very fancy tossing mud at Susie.
I guess Calvin didn’t tickle her fancy, either.
BTW, if anyone is interested, the quote is from “Locksley Hall” by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
Happy 4th of July!
If you left click on the comic, it will get somewhat bigger and left click again it will return to original size. I had to do that today to this one. The ctrl-scroll wheel one I learned about a year ago and can be very handy for all sorts of sites.
I use control plus+ to enlarge.
Calvin can give good advice (“just ignore her”) which Hobbes could easily do but Calvin couldn’t take his own advice. Of course, he didn’t really want to.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY everyone as we remember on July 4th for those who fought for our freedom.
Teresa google has spell check on the control bar just highlight the comment section and check the abc that is what I do at times.
Thanks, Kab Buch! Yours are the only fireworks I will see this Fourth of July. Our town has no money for such luxuries. It’s okay. Libraries are more important.
Susie … if you had better things to do than sit around with Calvin & Hobbes and play in the mud like a pig, then why did you want to join them so badly?
Calvin … let’s face it: even Hobbes can see how much you’re secretly in love with Susie!

LOL!!! Love is in the air!

Does the last panel mean that Calvin agrees with Hobbes??
alviebird over 14 years ago
This has to settle the argument, once and for all. Yes, they are in love. They may not know it, but they are. I had my doubts, but not anymore.

“Hee, hee!” Susie knows how to push Calvin’s buttons.

They’ll graduate from mud slinging to mud wrestling when they hit high school.

I sure do wish these were scanned at higher quality. I can barely read it with my old eyes.

Sorry I’m late. There is a very large Hobbian type animal loose somewhere near my house.

There is no love sweeter than throwing mud at girls… just ask her lawyer after the divorce.

JackAlaska, hold down the Control key and use your scroll wheel to enlarge. If no scroll wheel, go to View / Zoom in your browser menu.
If using Firefox, make sure “zoom text only” is not checked.

DINO! Hanging out in bars when you’re only 16? NO-NO! You could have gotten into big trouble!

An old man’s fancy as well.

I almost always have to “enlarge” Calvin - others, not so much. Shoe, for instance, is very clear - as well as Wizard of Id. HAPPY 4th Everyone!!!

You might as well just accept it Calvin, you’ll never win when you fight with a female.

Even though I zoomed in, this one was still hard to read, needed to be scanned at a higher resolution.

There are two rules to use when arguing with a woman, and neither of them works.

Actually, Susie, you don’t have anything better to do, since you wanted to sit in the mud and play.
