Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 10, 2012

Mouth wide open and crying like at the dentist!

A boy’s dream is everyone else’s nightmare.

Last week, at the dentist I thought, my end has come. He wanted to pull out a tooth and needed more than an hour. The tooth broke and he had to cut me open to get it, afterwards he had to sew it like a ruined T-shirt, a horror!

“(….dong!…) And on the right side, ladies & gentlemen, you’ll notice we’re IN the Grand Canyon.”

The grocery store is in St. Louis?

That is sooooo funny!!

Good job mr. Watterson

I have only one thing to say to Dentists when they are pulling teeth, wake me when you are done.

I can think of a lot worse places to go, but when asked if he was afraid of cars, Spock said “Not at all Captain. It’s your driving that alarms me.”

This reminds me of what I think is a Far Side cartoon, depicting the side of an airborne plane with a bunch of frazzled passengers in the windows. The speech bubble from the cockpit reads something like: “Ah, oh no! We’re out of gas! We’re going to crash! Oh, wait, that’s the PA announcement light.”

I have told folks on different occasions that I was within ten miles of the Grand Canyon, but never went there. Now if Calvin had been my pilot…

Excellent strip!

I love the artwork in the 3rd Panel.

Gotta love kids who are backseat drivers. My toddler niece gets strapped into carseat and shouts GO! GO! GO!

Bill Watterson sure ran wild this morning.

I just get a good hold on him (you know where) and ask him, “We’re not going to hurt each other, are we?”

I have to laugh more from the clever comments I read than I do about Calvin!! Hobbes, the cartoons you find are hysterical! Thanks for the extra laughs!

Isn’t the “Grand Canyon Suite”?

Who dose not find going to the grocery store dull sometimes ?

My daughter just finished hs from senior year had to go different dentist to get all her wisdom teeth pulled. The dentist pulled all four at one time. Ice pack time.

nice calvin

I recommend female dentists every time: smaller hands!

@Lucy fur: Don’t worry about the plane flight, but be extremely careful driving to the airport and home, since the risk is so much higher.

Thanks, guys, I need to make a dental appointment for a cracked crown and you are NOT helping!

Many years ago, on a commercial flight from NY to LA (Ontario), we were ahead of schedule, and the pilot announced that we were flying over his home country, the Arizona desert. He moved back and forth over the area, pointing out the sights to the people on either side of the plane, then said that he would fly us over the Grand Canyon, which he did, much to the delight of most of us . . . My guess is this was his last flight.

“Mr. School Bus Driver, if I were driving, I’d take the scenic route; via the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, and onto the Cable Cars as a side attraction!”“Well, you’re NOT driving; and San Francisco is NOT on the way to school!”Note: the strip is based (probably) on Chagrin Falls, Ohio — Watterson’s home town; I live here in SF, by the way.

This strip is a wonderful spot of brightness in my day – praise You, God, for bringing it into my life…

Funny, though one must remember this was before 9/11.
