Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 20, 2012

Stupid monsters couldn’t get details right.

Click here: Peanuts (November 11, 1968)

They uploaded the new comics like 2 minutes ago and people have already made comments?

@torn newspaper.yeah, sad, eh?some of us are having the afternoon coffee break… yesterday…different time zones.

I’m pretty happy with my username.

SurveyI think that a lot of Calvin and Hobbes posters would be interested in knowing what countries are represented by the posters here. If you do not live in the U.S., please tell us what country you are in.(Or, in Puddleglum’s case, “Please tell us in what country you are.”)

@JoanHelen: I left you a reply yesterday, with the Peanuts strip that you were asking about.

je ne t’ecoute pas

@kbyrdleroy: The strips are archived on GoComics, but I save keywords that I can search on my PC, to locate them by date.

Those monsters are always willing to take a new tack.

Bad monsters, I’ll chase you away!!Austria, you know!

Sweden here.

Monsters under the bed:They lie, I lie!Love it!

Under-bed monsters are very cunning -- or not.

I’d let Hobbes loose on the monsters,,,that would show them…or what was left of them.

S. Spain here. 40ºC at 14.30h (and yes, we use the 24 hr clock.)

Calvin! ALWAYS keep your arms and legs inside the blankets or the monsters will bite them off!

really does mom..?

Brooklyn, NY. The REAL Brooklyn (it IS a country), not the newly hipsterized Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Fort Greene, Red Hook, etc. And definitely not Park Slope, which was livable once before the baby strollers took over and the expensive restaurants.

…Canada (prairies)…or, as an American politician once referred to it – “Soviet Canuckistan”…

I am in Honduras C.A.

Well, monsters are idiots, and i hate that school for me is this week. NOOOOO!!!! :(

Love how Calvin’s hair stands up on end in the 3rd Panel!

@Hobbes,“Another country heard from” …from another country heard …heard from another country …whatever!I’m in an awful, or is it aweful, ‘state’ after seeing your reference to my grammar police proclivity relative to a preposition at the end of a sentence. Suffice it to say, we have mass media here, and we have country, too, even though the commonwealth is densely populated and the common wealth is densely distributed.

To follow up on my previous comment:“Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.” Phil. 4:11In my case, it’s an ideal, not an achievement!

USA, but spent 1964 in Turkey – Army, Manzarali StationA secret cold war listening post, on a tall hill, near a major highway, Army style buildings and acres of antennas!In God We Trust -All others we monitor.(Presently near Iowa, Mo, Illinois junction)

Makes me think of Stephen King’s “Dreamcatcher”, which I am reading now.

Wow. Shape shifters. Lol

Not a good way to start the day.

I really like my user name too!!!!! ;-)

Calvin must be more “lip-smackin’ good” than we originally thought!!!!! ;-)

The monster in the closet would have done it better.

Oregon, aka Gods Country. Lately I feel guilty living here.No drought, no heat, only a few fires but small. We are truely blessed living here. The world has become a very tiny place. Look at us all chatting and being silly every day with each other readin’ the funny pages. What a wonderful world.

Never seen so many comments! ^^ I see there are more Calvinists than I thought. Anyway,

I hail from Catalonia, and live some 60 miles north of Barcelona, not far from the French border.

@Puddleglum2 – great your comment on Paul’s dictum to be your ideal; it’s mine too … By the way, I’m a great fan of Puddleglum, and cannot but notice his approach to life, he reminds me of Thomas Didimus. …

Greetings to all.

Seriously hoping this won’t turn into what I believe it will, but, 50% in Western Samar, PH…. the rest @ the other home in USA.

Did Dad tell him about the monsters to keep him in bed? Mom?

Sorry I didn’t read the comments, guys. There was an ad for car insurance on the left side of the page with a great looking 1950s babe. It kinda took my attention off of the comment section… :-)

Something’s drooling under the bed. Wait, where have I heard that before?

The MOMsters did’nt fool Calvin this time

@Dogsniff: well, you shouldn’t.

When you become an adult, things that go bumb in the night is usually your car hitting a tree because you didn’t have your headlights on….
