Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 25, 2011

Than get up and turn the world inside up!!

The last panel is classic. I bet Hobbes would like to maul Calvin, but he’s too sleepy.

Hobbes seems a bit perturbed. Maybe he got up on the wrong side of the bed. But if Hobbes hollers, nobody will get any sleep!

“When I was a lad (I served a term…)” and was in bed at 7:00 PM, I’d listen to The Lone Ranger on the radio at 7:30, then later in the evening when I was awake, I’d listen to Fibber McGee and Molly, Doctor IQ, and other programs from my parents’ bedroom.

Hey, what happened to Hobbes’ canine teeth? That is the reason Calvin doesn’t look scared

Reminds me of the time when (kid of 10?) I went into his room to shake my uncle and asked “Are you sleeping?”.

To put it mildly, I found myself on the other side of the door in no time after this!

Calvin you need to zip it like now!!!!

Who can sleep with all that racket?

New adventures are waiting!

Hobbes Need to sleep be late Sure..

just Hobbes be Lazy Tiger

I bought TV Ears so she could listen while I sleep. They do not stop,“Do you know what he used to play in? So and So is her third husband. Doesn’t she look good now that she got divorced?” I have bought foamy things (no, the kind that are still legal) They do not help with an elbow in the ribs and " Hey look, it’s So and So. He shot his wife and bought off the jury."I snuck the bedroom TV into the basement (not for me) while she was shopping and I knew I had tons of time. Two burley delivery men with a handtruck squeezed the new one through the door as she bubbled, “Look Dear, surround sound!”Revenge is best served at 5 AM.

@Lewreader – What the heck are you talking about?

Good morning everyone

A while back my phone rang at 5:00am. I picked it up and said a groggy hello, and an annoyingly cheerful voice said “Good morning! Are you up?” I mumbled “No, who is this?” He said “Who always calls you this time in the morning?” I said “Nobody does!” and hung up. Damn wrong number.

I seem to remember a C and H strip where Calvin got in trouble for implying that cats were laid back since they got 13 hours of sleep a day. Aren’t tigers nocturnal?

I agree Calvin. I hate having to go to bed at 9:30 PM. everynight.

Yeah, I do wonder how much childrens’ generally ridiculously early bedtimes are because “it’s good for them” and not “it’s good for me”. 8-9 hours of sleep… if you get up at 7 to get ready for school then the kid doesn’t need to go to bed until 10 P.M.

well at least he is not awake alone although I am sure he wishes he was

Puddlegum, do you remember when Fibber opened the closet door? Loved it!!!!

I hope he doesn’t have a west-facing bedroom window — that really makes it hard to go to sleep when the sun is shining in on your bed!

JohnnyDiego: Mine waits until I am engrossed in a TV program and yells, “Are you asleep?” I try to break her of the habit by closing one eye and after she yells, slowly turn my head to reveal the other was open. It hasn’t worked yet.

Eeeeeeeek!

I’m just like Hobbes in the last panel when someone annoys me when I’m half asleep.

LOL xxx

it’s a comic. it’s funny. Don’t analyze it to death!’

My hubby would say I fall asleep and I say no I’m awake. To prove it I would tell him okay I’m still awake about every hour or every 30 mins sometimes I tell it is such and such a time and I’m still awake. I was so mad at him. Then when I could not sleep I go out in living room and read. I tell him later told you I could not sleep.

Grouching Calvin, hidden Tiger…

Since retiring, I let my body decide how much sleep it needs – no alarm clock. I usually go to bed at midnight, wake up to go do you know what around 7AM, take my morning acid reflux prevention pill, back to bed and full awake and raring to go around 9 to 10 AM. Friends and relatives have learned not to call before 10:30 or so.

Hobbes knows very well why he cant sleep.

My sons always balked about going to bed. Then I told them that they had to go to bed, but they didn’t have to go to sleep as long as they did something quiet like reading. They’d stay up a whole extra 15 minutes maybe.

All I had to do was slow them down enough so they could fall asleep. Once they drop below mach 1.5 or thereabouts they usually crash.

The non-sleeping tiger also has supurrrrb hearing…..

You’d best lay down, Calvin; lest you want to be eaten.

reminds me of me and my sister

Sheesh! You don’t have to roar.

Panel #4 is what happens when your constant whining and complaining “pokes the sleeping bear” . . . er . . . tiger!

ROTFL

Let sleeping tigers lie.

The parents put him to bed early so they could. . . .

rofl

This was me, I confess. My poor parents — but they did put me to bed while it was still light out — so I suppose they were partly at fault.

Love hobbes on last panel!
