    Notice when something goes wrong, one parent always says that the kid is the other parent’s.

    Hobbes isn’t quit a figment, he does have a physical body so calvin could be tossing him in.

    Maternity is a fact.Paternity is an opinion.Even DNA tests only give a probability of fatherhood.

    #blink, blink# Why do I have a sudden feeling of impending DOOM?

    I have a feeling that Calvin’s Mom can be very convincing, when she explains things!

    In today’s strip, it would appear that Hobbes is alive and not stuffed, because it seems inconceivable that a stuffed animal could generate enough impact force to empty all of the water out of the tub. But some will claim that Calvin only imagined that Hobbes did a cannonball, that Calvin himself did the cannonball, and that he then imagined himself flying out of the tub as a result.Some readers are convinced that Hobbes is alive, and others are convinced that he is only stuffed. It’s a faith issue. Science has never been able to conclusively prove or disprove either point of view. And no amount of heated rhetoric by those on one side can change the opinions of those on the other side.If one wants to avoid arguments at all cost, one should never discuss religion, politics, or Hobbes.

    I like how, in the last panel, Dad is able to turn his head a full 180 degrees to talk to Mom. Practically an “Exorcist” moment.

    @Grog…can’t leave him alone… But then, we would miss out on all Calvin’s fun.Love the fact that on this strip there are no overly serious comments…The FBOFW, comments would be child abuse for leaving a kid alone in a tub.

    Hobbs gets a 10 for splash and Calvin gets a 10 for moon in the air.

    Do y’all really think that Hobbes doesn’t exist? Of course he exists. The problem is that the parents are incapable of seeing him for what he is. BTW, if you had Calvin running loose in your home, would you not have a tendency to blame your significant other?

    More like 100/100: each partner better give 100% . . . or you barely meet in the middle!

    “There’s always numbers and letters on the end of the flight deck of aircraft carriers. Little late to be giving the pilots an eye exam, isn’t it?”

    ++++

    But not too late to figure out which aircraft carrier you are over and contemplating landing on. . . .

    For those that might be interested, The number “32” was the hull number of the USS Leyte, an Essex class carrier from WWII. She was named after the battle of Leyte Gulf.

    (Perplexed) @Dogsniff: Strangely, the site has been fine for me ever since they did the server maintenance the other night. Before that, I was sometimes waiting several minutes for a page to load, and sometimes it wouldn’t load at all.

    And our boy is in a classic ’50’s Venetian Pink tub? Maybe neither Calvin nor Hobbes made the mess; could have been a torpedo from “Operation Petticoat” that got sent back in time.
