Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 09, 2012

Where are the snakes when you need one ?

Hobbes likes it peacefuller!

I love it. childhood is fun

Calvin is just looking for a reason to scream like a loon.

You can always have another cup.

I love Hobbes Face’s

Over at Get Fuzzy Bucky has been complaining about movies with people who scream like birds. Maybe someone should introduce him to Hobbes.

I have a snake…people scream at first, but then they warm up to Tyler and learn to love him. Of course, he isn’t poisonous, but…funny story about that: Tyler has been in captivity all his life, yet when he is startled he coils up and shakes his tail. He’s never seen a rattlesnake, but instinct makes him imitate one in defense. Amazing, really.

I find your lack of faith disturbing

I love snakes, it is fascinating to see them move so quickly without legs!

Indiana Calvin Jones.

When I was in middle school, our biology class had a few snakes that someone had found . . . harmless, gentle snakes the teacher said. Come winter break, the teacher needed someone to watch the snakes and I volunteered. I had a great time watching the snakes, holding them, and seeing them slither around my floor. As the year went on and more kids babysat the snakes on weekends, etc. kids started reporting odd behavior from the snakes. Turns out those harmless, gentle snakes were actually babies that were growing into their larger, particularly aggressive adult snake species behavior.

Scream like “Clair de Lune”!

“Wheel”…run around in circles!

I thought that Calvin got his morning jolt from chocolate frosted sugar bombs!

I hope Calvin hasn’t drank coffee before…

Hyperactive and sleepless nights are Mum and Dad’s worst nightmare.

it is not hard to find a snake in the grass, just go the Washington DC they are everywhere. Sadly, when we find them the most that we can do is run around in circles screaming like a loon. Even a morning jolt of java doesn’t help.

I like Calivn’s plan. It’s a lot more fun telling others about snakes. Telling stories about drinking coffee just does not cut it.

Remember, Calvin, so they can’t get you, you have to run in a serpentine pattern.

I sometimes think Hobbes deserves a better imaginary friend.

sombody has to say it, so….“Snakes, why did it have to be snakes. I hate them, Jock. Hate them”

You had better hope it’s just a black or a garden snake Calvin.With the strangely warm weather this spring we got a copperhead in the office back in April. I was going outside to grab the lunch guy when I looked down and saw it. At first I thought a kid had left a rubber snake on the floor, then it hissed. Stopped in my tracks and backed away slowly as it was in strike pose, 2.5 feet away tops. Talk about getting lucky.

Try a JOLT cola. Twice the caffiene and an entire day’s allowance of sugar in one can. We used to power them down on all-day fishing trips.

YES IT DOES WEAR OFF QUICKER

Two words: Lewis Grizzard.

It’s very cute . . I had a beagle when I was little. I left you a message on the Non Sequitur board, by the way.

I once had a cup of Starbucks that was so strong I was nearly as high as the airplane I was flying in…..that wasn’t the worst, however – a cup made from boiling a handful of grounds in an old coffeepot (with the grounds settled by breaking an egg over them) had me shaking for several hours afterwards. Cowboy coffee…..

ah……the snoopster. i always loved your comments.

Not something I would do Calvin, even at your age I learned the poisonous snakes from the harmless ones. Cotton mouth, copperhead, rattler, and coral snakes. . . .

I live a looooong way from coral snakes, but even I know: “Red on yellow, kill a fellow; Red on black, friend of Jack”

Good summer fun!

Cool new avatar! You changed your screen name and avatar all in one day! : )

I don’t drink coffee and I don’t like snakes. No wonder I have such a hard time getting up and moving in the mornings . . . I don’t get that extra little jolt that only scary snakes and caffeine-laden cups of coffee can give me!!!!! ;-)

when in danger,or in doubt.run in circles,scream and shout.

Hi Adam/Snoopster, I just wanted to say that I do enjoy reading your comments, and so do many other people. Such as Snoopy 323. I don’t think you should leave GoComics just, because of a few people. Anyway I hope you decide to stay, because I’m sure lots of people would miss you! : )

I, for one, have no intention of apologizing. Anything I may have said to you as Snoopster or one of your newer alter- egos was said not to put you down but rather to wake you up to what you still need to learn. If you felt insulted, read the words again; they were aimed at an 11 year old who had something to say but needed guidance on how to get people to listen. If you are who and what you say you are, stick around.
