Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 10, 2012

I said so yesterday!

Hobbes is right! Science cannot declare everything and it is not good to declare everything in a scientific manner!

“Cloudy, the sky is grey and white and Couldy, sometimes I think it’s hangin’Down on me…” (Paul Simon)

Ask Dad… he never fails to amaze with “science”.

I think something’s clouding your vision, Calvin.

@leftwingpatriotI was waiting for your comment on tomorrow’s strip.

Calvin, you’re leaving out the part about it sticking out its ethereal tongue at you.

Cumulo…what?!

Dad’s science: run heavier & heavier trucks across a bridge. When it collapses, build it for one less truck!

Yesterday, Calvin had his head in the clouds. But today, with his scientific focus, he’s more down-to-earth.

Now in case you were wondering. . . . . .

Cumulonimbal is not a word, but the word cumulonimbi looks like that and that means; An extremely dense, vertically developed cumulus with a relatively hazy outline and a glaciated top extending to great heights, usually producing heavy rains, thunderstorms, or hailstorms. Hope that helped!

@bmonk (from yesterday): Here is the Peanuts strip you mentioned, which was used at the beginning of the movie A Boy Named Charlie Brown. I’ve also included a Pearls Before Swine tribute to Charles Schulz by Stephan Pastis, from this past fall, the week of Schulz’s birthday.Click here: Peanuts (August 14, 1960)Click here: Pearls Before Swine (November 27, 2011)

But honestly, when was the last time you saw the word “cumulonimbal” in a comic strip (besides all the times this particular strip has run)?

“It’s an ill (very peculiar high-altitude) wind that blows no good.”

Hobbes probably is a peculiar portent prognosticator!

I had a cumulonimbal thing once…. but it scabbed over and eventually fell off. Left a small scar.

I think they say that just to get you to listen to their entire schpeel.

Every once in a while, I see a cloud in the shape of Kentucky.

I thought that Calvin believed in horoscopes! : )

I saw a cloud that looked peculiarly like a cloud…but living in Arizona in the summertime, that is peculiar indeed.

I would love to see a Hobbes cloud.

Would be so cute!

Your cloud has a silver lining, Calvin!

;)

And sometimes, clouds just look like . . . clouds!

Where did Calvin learn those complicated words?

the only thing cloudy here is his vision.

I have never seen a nimble cumulo.

Cumulonimbal is indeed a word. It refers to that which is of or pertaining to cumulonimbus or cumulonimbi. It’s a perfectly good post facto manufactured adjective.

I would like to “cumulo” a lot more money….

its raining here every day ha haaa

Maybe it means there’s monsters under his bed, like on Sunday.

It is a giant painting nice pictures .
