Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 18, 2011

Something a bit less challenging, perhaps?

Changing subject (game) when you lose

Biting with all his power!

reminds me of my big brother

Good Hobbes’s

Calvin never loses.. he just cant win.. right o_0

Winners never quit and quitters never win.

Snerk!

Now set the ball down and spike Calvin, followed by your victory dance.

I thought Calvin would be a bit quicker off the mark , he should have said “My ball , my rules , no touchdown” .Or does the ball belong to Hobbes ?

I could have envisioned a similar result with Moe, but a stuffed tiger? This is definitely not your game, Calvin.

Dogsniff gets today’s bad pun award.

How timely!Hobbes = LSU TigersCalvin = Ole Miss Rebels

Yesterday, it was lacrosse with Suzie, today it is football with Hobbes, Calvin needs to find new games to lose at.

Why I study karate.

If Calvin were fishing, he would have (made) the ‘tackle’!Hobbes must be made of ‘the right stuff’!

Hobbes made ‘six points’, but Calvin probably won’t learn any of them!

This calls for a round of “Calvin Ball” where the rules are fluid and Calvin always wins.

@Dogsniff: Hahahahah! Very, VERY good – wish Lewreader would jump back into the mix; great comments there, too.

Anyone for Cricket!!!

This reminds me of Tim Tebow last night against the Jets…

Calvin Ball?

I had a cousin who would run in slow motion with the ball. My sister and I together couldn’t stop him, only occasionally snatching the ball from his arm.

Calvinball

Other kids’ games are all such a bore!They’ve gotta have rules and they gotta keep score!Calvinball is better by far!It’s never the same! It’s always bizarre!You don’t need a team or a referee!You know that it’s great, ‘cause it’s named after me!

Time for a different game? I’m sure Hobbes would go for basketball…

Happy Calvin and Hobbes’ birthday everybody!

I use to do that to my little brother,, now he picks me up and throw me like a football !!!

What, no Hobbes = Tebow, Calvin = Jets defense jokes? Anyone?

me and my big brother a LOOOOONG time ago. miss him.

Calvin and Hobbes is the greatest cartoon series ever.

When I was in the Juniors we used to climb on each other’s backs!

LOL xxx

LOL…good one!

The ol’ Statute of Liberty play…..works every time!

This is the sort of strip that always puzzles me – Calvin is being bested by a figment of his own imagination.

Reminds me of my sister

Better practice more, Calvin

Hobbes, that is NOT how u play football.

Hobbes’s designer label – Calvin Climb.

Love it! How do you manage to always come up with all these cute things?!?

When it comes to a game like football, and it’s Calvin against Hobbes . . . it’s good to be tall! ;-)

Hobbes (the poster): Thanks for the “Peanuts” explanation on yesterday’s forum . . . but I’m still wondering about the name. Charles Schulz didn’t choose it — even hated it — but someone had to come up with it and I’m just wondering how. (Personally, I love the name but then “Peanuts” is what I grew up on since it was “born” before I was.) Any more thoughts? Thanks!

Happy Anniversary C and H!

@Gretchen’sMom,What’s this? Are you ’Kline’ing off my bandwagon? Is it by design, or ’clothes’ion? Did I ‘wear’ out my welcome? Will you be ‘ragging’ on me soon? ‘Wear’ will it end?

@bmonk,Was it one time when Calvin was mischievous, and he was afraid that Hobbes would ‘talon’ him?

Once again, Calvin’s imagination gets the better of him.

Hi GretchensMom and Number 6The origin of the name “Peanuts” is an interesting story. I’ll write something on it tomorrow morning, since others on this site may be interested in it also.

Gee Hobbes, didn’t that tickle? I would have dropped the ball with a kid squirming around like that.

Hobbes scored without even throwing the ball, running or touching it down. Now that’s the kind of football I can play and win with!

Hobbes: Off the charts. Calvin: Off the charts. Relatively.
