Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 10, 2012

Hobbes! Hobbes!

Hmm… this sounds like Susie.

I think it’s Hobbes, too.

“Be sure to drink your Ovaltine.” ( A Christmas Story)

or, he could get special glasses to see the real world. like in the movie they live.

Hobbes is egging Calvin on,boy this is getting hard for Calvin to not get over excited .

I’m sure Susie wouldn’t waste her time sending Calvin a coded message. And it can’t be the big bully: I’ll bet he can’t even write, let alone write in code.

Porridge brain,um Porrige brain…that’s brain food…could mean there’s a hidden message within the code….thnk Calvin think..

it has got to be ‘Hobbes’ because I can’t see it being Susie(like Arye Uygur)—she wouln’t waste her time. But that brings us to the quantry that Hobbes only does what Calvin imagines him doing. So, we have the ’ chicken or the egg’ problem. Excuse me, I have a headache—too much thinking at my age.

Deciphering has come a long way since the 50’s. Remember when you needed a Capt. Midnight secret ring? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvKlqMjfk1Y

All the smart money is looking toward Susie. And I thought is was mom!

encrypting tiger.

Both secret admirers and secret detractors add spice to life.

Craaaaap. I just opened those letters I THOUGHT were from the IRS…

I remember Ralphie not being too happy when he found out what his secret message was…..

Hobbes has gotta be drinking Wild Turkey to come up with this

Are you sure the 4th letter is a B? It could just mean you like porridge….

I think it was Goldielocks, she’s always been a troublemaker.

It has to be Hobbes!

What if it’s Susie?

She’s called Calvin names similar to that.

LOL xxx

Mmmm, porridge brain!

It’s actually never been established that Hobbes is a figment of Calvin’s imagination. I personally believe that Calvin’s just the only one who can see Hobbes, the Transmogrifier, etc, due to his amazing mind.

@IndyMan

So… Calvin is a “multiple personality,” and the note is from one of his “alters”?

Yeah, that would work…

Ok, this is why I don’t trust stuffed animals.

If this is a repeat of the earlier strip, in 1992, I’ll be very disappointed. When work has to be duplicated, you’re running out of ideas. Change the ending and throw everyone off.

A secret detractor is like an antitractor, and the opposite of a protractor.

It’s definitely Hobbes, he always loves to insult Calvin. I can just see the fight now.

Actually, everyone’s right…It IS H****s.

I still think it’s Mom!

Years ago, my dad received an insulting Valentine.Instead of blowing his top and accusing anyone, he just filed it quietly away.About a week later, a classmate asked him:“Get any Valentines this year?”“No, not a single one.”“You didn’t? Why, I sent you one!!”

Can’t be Hobbes. If it were Hobbes, he’d no longer be in that gray area, is he real or is he a figment of Calvin’s imagination. We really don’t want that question answered do we?

Does he have to use the bathroom again because it’s so cool?

Spoiler:Hobbes is sending the messages.

Didn’t we already answer which one Hobbes is? Calvin can’t tie himself to a chair, or have himself hit with a pouncing tiger.

Hm. This is an 1992 strip.
