Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 25, 2010

He does make life difficult…..

Maybe Mom and Dad can get rid of Calvin because of Parental Abuse.

Mom’s right around the corner, Calvin!

Hi, Marg, Mike, Grog & Fran!

Poster child for birth control.

GM earlybird specials

Calvin ‘s going to get Sammella heh heh

**Good morning Marg! Good morning Fran and Kizzzy! Good Morning L’Wolf! Good Morning Grog!**

Calvin will have to scramble for some excuse while mom is still shell shocked. This is not going over easy with someone as hard boiled as she is. His butt is going to be poached for this and no one is going to see the sunny side at all.

Excellent, Mike!

Hey, good one, Mike………………..you got them all over easy!

Good one, Mike.

You’d expect such ‘feats’ from an egg-straordinary boy like he is.

Another carton will do the trick, surely. This can’t possibly end badly.

More challenges like this Calvin and you could starve. Fortunately there’s always delivery pizza.

Even after Calvin has had his way with the kitchen, I am willing to bet that the kitchen stays cleaner than some single guys’ kitchens I have seen ;).

to solve it, Clavin and me must be carefully, in order that, there aren,t any mistakes, do it better…

You’ve got to admire the spirit of challenge and discovery in the boy - only to see it evaporate when his Mom “discovers” his experiments!

Mike Firesmith, …my sentiments eggsactly! Did it all come to you eggstemporaneously? ‘The chickens have come home to roost.’ Well, they say ‘imitation is the sincerest form of flattery’, although I know I’m not the original punster, only the most prolific perpetrator on this website. The first man was probably the original punster, but I’m not ‘adam’ant about it! I claim no credit for your cleverness, so you may totally eggsult in it. It should be eggshellarating! I’ll just butt out for now!

I mixed 4 jigsaw puzzles to make it a challenge. Mother was not amused. I hear the milk man, get an extra 5 dozen.

Calvin must be switching eyes instead of closing the same one every time.

Oh to read all the egg-cellent puns this morning makes going in to school and facing the freshmen all the more egg-citing! Thank you all for an egg-zillarating start! @Mike, I didn’t think anyone could do as well as Puddleglum2, although I think he egged it out with ‘eggstemporaneous”

I think we all agree that Calvin’s turning out to be a bad egg - a real stinker.

Still, that’s odd. His usual impulse is to make life easier for himself.

Calvin is an example of why childicde should be legal!

Calvin seems not worried at all about facing mum later!

What a mess! Egg - art?!

After reading all the eggscrutiating puns today, I have one question. Have you people no shame at all?

Some day Calvin will learn that some challenges are not what they are cracked up to be. Even a crackling challenge can be a disaster. Eggcitement can lead to egg on the face very quickly.

Time to crack some eggs.

PS: Hard to crack Mike’s Eggcellent post! Kudos!

After reading all the eggscrutiating puns today, I have one question. Have you people no shame at all?

The obvious answer, of course, is no. ;)

Some of us, however, understand that brevity is the soul of wit. We have too many eggheads around here with cracked senses of humor, and after a while the running mess they create gets to be no yolk at all.

Well the egg’ll be on your face if you don’t get that cleaned up, Calvin.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠

I commented on my trip because someone a few days ago asked a few questions on where i stayed and if i could see haiti, and if i had fun… so i answered and got flagged for it????

keltii, I’m the “culprit” who showed an interest in your trip by asking questions, and I thank you for responding. The flagger is the one who could be eggscluded. He/she is eggspendable.

Johanan Rakkav, Henny Youngman must be one of your favorite comedians of all time. Eggsually, he’s one of mine, also.

Loved all the yolks, folks!

See, the secret to having fun in life is to make little challenges for yourself. One of my daily addictions is to read C&H before opening my email, for fear of missing something. Every once in a while, my dedication to this ritual pays off, with life-telling gems like this. That’s why I tell my adult children I’m my own favorite form of entertainment!

sandfan, “Eggscruciating” is great! If it weren’t for us irrepressible punsters, you wouldn’t have had eggcasion to use it. “Have you no shame” is often quoted as Welch’s outburst to Senator Joseph McCarthy, but it really was “Have you no sense of decency, sir?”

Johanan Rakkav, P.S. Sometimes eggstenuating circumstances provoke more eggstensive punning. I’m sorry you are provoked, but please let there be no eggspectorating with your raspberry!

Eggcellent posts today, everybody!!!!!

;-)

Meanwhile, will mom have to clean up this mess today … or will this be yet another chore Calvin will gripe about having to do? After all, he/she who makes it should have to clean it up. It’s only fair!

Linda Arney, “Up in the morning and off to school The teacher is teaching the Golden Rule” I’m glad we’ve made you eggstatic to go to school. Well, maybe that’s a slight eggsaggeration. The eggstent of the puns this morning has eggseeded some people’s eggspectations. A few others might want to shell us, or eggspunge us with some form of eggsecution. Enough is enough! Eggscessive, even! Eggsit stage right - Snagglepuss

What an eggsasperating kid he is.

What fun! You have ‘outdone’ yourselves today! Eggcellent if I may say so.

@keltii, I enjoyed your comments about your trip. You should not have been flagged.

Hard to believe that practise makes perfect in this case.

@frank corona, Your comment yesterday, regarding being off topic, was itself off topic.

my sympathies with his mom- i know how depressingly boring cleaning is.

You guys and gals are all scrambled!!!! :-D

He needs no one to egg him on as he is always a good eegsample of a bad eggsample.

I’ve been away for a few days. Eggstatic to see you back, Marg.

Eggcellent yolks today, folks. Thanks for cackles to start the day.

Keltie:

I enjoyed reading about your vacation

Blessed are the cracked, for it is they who let in the light.

Is there no voluntary recall of these eggsistentially rotten puns?

rshive said, about 12 hours ago:

More challenges like this Calvin and you could starve. Fortunately there’s always delivery pizza.

Delivery pizza? Would that be a placenta?

Incorrigible punsters here today - please don’t incorrige.

OK, 2/3 of a pun… what a stinker! :)

I love cought Hobbes eating a tunasandwich in the first strip of Calvin and Hobbes!

After all the eggasperating and eggecrable puns here, the yoke’s on you. (And the stove. And the floor.)

They actually did an experiment (eggsperiment?) where the goal was to get a ball into a hat on the floor. No limit on where you could stand, or where your hand was when you released the ball. The score was based on how many of the series of balls went and stayed in.

Girls tended to go up to the hat, and drop the ball in from a couple of inches away.

Boys tended to stand at least ten feet away and see if they could toss the ball in.

Between the car and this mess, Calvin is egging his mother to the point where his backside will be fried over hard….

Jokes with food are not good!

what is a six year old doing cooking without supervision in the first place?mom deserves what she will discover when she walks into the kitchen.

What a way to start the day.

I’m sad I didn’t get to read about keltii’s trip – who would flag a comment like that?

I’m getting caught up after being off the computer for a few days. I missed all your egg-citing comments! Great job everyone on the egg puns! Good fun.

I was away yesterday, but this is an enjoying way to get back in the mood of work!!! I can’t wait to read today’s comic and comments!!! :) And my father was cooking for himself at 6… it happens!!

Trying to be a chef … out of the list for u calvin :)
