Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 11, 2011

Probably Mom.

I used to hide my son’s coat if he left it lying around. Became a game for a time. My daughter complained when she found it in the shower.

I always seek my eyeglasses, the watch, the keys and the purse.

Wonder why Calvin even bothered to look. It’s probably not even freezing outside!

That’s a funny thing about looking for something. It’s always where it supposed to be.

Once I found my watch in the deep-freezer.

Some people!

I have the same problem with my younger sister. She hides my stuff where its not supposed to be, in their proper places.

It is more annoying to find things at the places they should be than to find them at other places.

Consternates the heck out of my hubby when I do that. It’s so endearing to see the little boy within the man.

Dogsniff: For a time it was icy and it showed nothing, after a while it worked again. I found it when I defrosted the freezer!

I may grow up to be just like Jeremy. Poor Mom.

I found the cheese slicer in the cheese compartment of the fridge once. Sure enough when I looked in the kitchen drawer, there was the cheddar.

Makes you wonder why we don’t try looking there first!

I feel that way when my wife does the laundry sometimes.

JohnnyDiego: That’s why I stick to Timex – I can always find the instruction manual on their website!

How does drawing your foot prints on the floor help?

I always say that best way to place things is leave all things where you last used them. Odds are that you need them in same place next time. Well, at least it is more probable that i need hammer next time in same place, i definitely do not use hammer at my toolbox.

any time my wife moves stuff again

I hide my money where she will never find it, behind the detergent.

Ridiculous!

Looks like Calvin got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

Please do not show this strip to my wife. I would never hear the end of it.

@James That used to happen a lot at my house. It stopped for two reasons; first , whoever does the laundry gets the money, two he now does his own laundry.

I can’t find anything unless I’m looking for something else.

i have a great filing system. there’s a pile for everything, and everything is in the pile.

Your Mam?

Hehehehehehe xxx

Anything you are looking for you always find it in the last place you look.

I’ve heard of someone who pitched the wet towels found out of place, to the tree outside the window. At the end of the week, when there were no more clean towels available, every body had to pick them from tree. They finally learned the lesson.

You’ll search the place over and not find something. Next week, a search for something else will turn up the first item, after you no longer need it! Also, I’ve found things misplaced before, put them where they belong, thinking I’d never look there for them there. And when needed, can clearly remember where I found it but not where I put it!

My girlfriend nagged me enough about putting things in order in my appt that I decided to do it once. There are things I haven’t found yet since, :-)

I still have that very same problem.

How did the tv remote get in the fridge ?

It’s not just I sometimes stop thinking. I loose my mind completely and can’t find it anywhere. Not even in the closet.

i have that proplem

Calvin’s jacket soon will be ‘coming out of the closet’.

Quote from a notepad: “Of all the things I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most!”

I wish I could turn my head all the way around like that.

I hope mom gets the point!

Of course! Once you find it you stop looking for it. Otherwise it wouldn’t be the last place you look.

When I couldn’t find my kitchen towel after searching the whole house, I gave up. Later in the day I opened the refrigerator for a snack and found it on the vegetable drawer where I had placed it earlier to soak up water dripping from the icemaker. Hey, it’s not a place you’d normally look, would you?

DAD!!! ELLLEEEN!! HAVE YOU SEEN MY COAT!! Oh wait.. I’m wearing it..
