Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 28, 2012

Do Martians hate Hoosiers?

Does that mean that Calvin lives in Indianapolis?

It may seem strange

It’s time enough until evening, perhaps thought will come until there!

Martians whomping Indy Nascar hiney IS more interesting than other people’s lives!

Pre-blogging. Amazing

I have a feeling it’s going to be a book with a lot of pictures.

I wonder if this work of art surpasses his masterpiece depicting a squadron of B-1s nuking New York.

And that’s how tumblr dot com was invented.

I thought that’s why calvin hired Watterson, to create that journal…. and, btw, nice job!

@masterskrain “The Apple-less Indians 500”: I’m only 1/2 way thru my first cup of coffee, but THAT is a REAL groaner. Aren’t you almost embarrased…?

The Calvin Perspective on the importance of his thoughts is what drives Facebook and Twitter.

If Calvin is a genius, he shouldn’t have dangled that participle.

Why not Chicago???? There’s a city I’ve wanted to fall off into Lake Michigan for years. And I moved to Indiana to get away from that dump.

The irony appeals to them — the will rename it humanopolis after we are gone!

I would have chosen a city with a name that was easier to spell.

No, they don’t hate the entire state—just Indianapolis for never being invited to race.

I’d buy that book.

Naw, not even the martians will want Cincinnati.

its hard story….

Calvin needs a blog.

You should write science fiction Calvin.

I remember when I was in I think 3rd grade. I drew a dinosaur on the front page of my notebook, because I was bored. My teacher got kind of angry at me though. I didn’t actually start caring about my grades until I started 4th. So, now I’m a good student. : )

Ok…I don’t know car racing because watching cars run around in circles for hours is what I call “Nap time”. So, please consider that it’s the thought that counts.

Love the smell of the pun in the morning:-)

Calvin the Conceited.

That’s what I would call him.

Strange to see what Calvin says in panel two. I figure it’s a direct quote from Hobbes, though, and maybe he doesn’t mind the plagiarism.

“my youngest used to draw those types of pictures in the first grade (in his note books) … his teacher thought they were brilliant (it’s nice when someone else thinks your kid is cool) LOL”

+++++

Sadly, nowadays that sort of picture is more often seen as violating some sort of rule, against weapons, or as an indication that the kid in question is seriously disturbed and in need of intervention.

Does anyone ending in ‘apolis’ need to worry? That’s not fair.

Uderzo et Goscinny.

A great beginning.

Isn’t it Indian-appleless?

Pedal to the metal, and turn left ??Not much of a race …

The Martians run Salt Lake City – best kept secret in the country….I know, I live here…

Thanks, I like to draw, but I’m not very good at it. You must be great at drawing, seeing as your an artist. : )

Thank you Night-Gaunt 49, that’s very good advice. I’ll try to follow it. Thank you again. : )

@cookies333,To get you started in the new school year (if you haven’t already), it’s you’re an artist, not your an artist. It’s a very common mistake. No criticism is intended. Enjoy school and make the most of it! Have a great time! :o)

What began as jokes based on the comic has resulted in a PC-lecture from Dogsniff…a symptom? It was a joke and no one seemed hurt by it…are you okay? Who are you and what did those doctors do with the real Dogsniff!?!

@Vonne Anton: The real Dogsniff is hidden underneath the Dogsniff that you usually read on these pages, and it can take people a long time to figure that out. He’s very human, he’s multidimensional, and he’s a great guy.
