Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 08, 2012

Love his face in the last panel!!

The sad reality of this is….the boy wrote the story himself…now Freud….take it away :):)

Time traveling chowderheads never get any respect.

Well Cal, you were too busy doing the actions in the story to actually WRITE it and Hobbes wrote it for you—but cheer up, your “reslanting” will up your grade!

There. Wasn’t it worth the wait to see this? :)

Ha ha haaa….

I saw it ending so!!

Teach is on the edge of her chair, she’s loving this! Hobbes is a shoo-in for an A!

Chowderhead! i’m gonna call someone that today.. :)

That’s pronounced chowda-head, Calvin. That’ll teach you to read Hobbes’ works before submitting it.

Calvin discovered that if he wants something done right, he has to do it himself. Not pass it off to some low-level peon and try to take the credit.

Who is Tyler Durden?

“Stripey furball?” Sounds like jealousy to me.

@oronicle womble: I just wrote you a reply at the end of the June 5th comments.

Soooo……. the 6:30 Calvin took the paper back with him and didn’t read it. Did he not have enough time?….. or did time progress in a linear fashion at his origin point?

Obviously, this boy should be home-schooled. I’m sure Mrs. Wormwood would be the first to sign a petition for that to happen.

@The Doctor: The 6:30 Calvin took the paper back with him, but he didn’t bother to read it, since it was done and he wanted to read comic books instead. We saw him reading comic books at 7:30, in last Saturday’s strip. Of course, then he seemed surprised to see the other two Calvins, as though he had no memory of what had happened, but we won’t go into that……..:>)

LOl LOL! I KNEW he would get a shock if Hobbes wrote it!

Let that be a lesson to you, Calvin. Write your own papers from now on.

And get rid of the time machine.

LOL xxx

Restaurant in Boston…that chowder smelled and tasted like it had been traveling for quite some time. I didn’t eat it, and gave it a poor grade. Someone here is also spoiled.

Fish begins to stink at the head!

I think you’re going to be in so much trouble with Mom when you get home, Calvin, that you won’t have time to deal with a “stripey furball”…

The problem with most inexperienced time travellers is that they don’t think 4th dimensionally. Calvin SHOULD have dropped off his homework with the 4:30 Calvin, giving himself more time to prepare. Then he would have already had it at 6:30, and, since his time machine seems to correct paradoxes, he would never have had to go on the trip at all, leaving more time for reading comic books.

Ya coulda checked out what it said at least on the bus Calvin. Then you wouldn’t be so surprised. You could have made some last minute corrections.

Nice Job, Hobbes

Now let’s hear …the rest of the story!

If Calvin had restrained himself, and not overreacted, he might have gotten a good grade, especially for being willing to humiliate himself in the story!

Calvin showed himself to be a real ‘chowderhead’ by not ‘clamming’ up when he began to read the story

“No thanks to Calvin”? Hobbes, you twit. Without Calvin, there would be no story. No assignment for one coming your way, either.

The great thing about this strip is that Watterson never reveals conclusively whether or not Hobbes is real.

Well, Calvin, this is what happens when a “time traveling chowderhead” who’s too lazy to do his own homework lets a “certain stripey furball” write it for him and then doesn’t bother to read it in advance before turning it in . . . or, in this case, reading it in front of the entire class!!!!!

;-)

What a great face on Calvin in the last panel – that kid is an absolute rubberface. Maybe when he grows up he should go into show business – he’s got the imagination for it…gave me a good laugh to start the weekend….I’m not much into chowder, but lobster thermidore, I’m there bigtime…

Bill Watterson has never confirmed Hobbs is imaginary. He said something to the effect, is he imaginary or is he only visible to Calvin?

One week hence…Calvin: "YAY-Y, HOORAY, OH, BOY!! IT’S SUMMER AGAIN!!(To Hobbes) Sigh — “BO-O-O-ORING! What do YOU wanna do, Hobbes?”“I dunno. Yourself?”“Ho-hum. Boring as usual.”

Pays to read your work over before you show it to the world.

This one is fantastic.

The words, the facial expressions … love it all!

I not gonna eat That Chowder. Now that I’ve heard that it is going to be made from a tiger head!!! Ewwww……
