Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 01, 2013

HAPPY NEW YEAR !Here’s a Calvin and Hobbes New Year’s Day strip from four years earlier:Click here: Calvin and Hobbes (January 1, 1989)

once again i need to remind my self that this was written many years ago. back then the customer service hot lines were local and hot, and they would actually give you customer service if you weren’t completely satisfied.

Hi Broncster!

Hobbes says that the universe is free. Maybe that’s where physicists came up with the term, “free space.”

Happy New Year to All C&H Fans

Can you imagine what a couple Calvin and Danae would make if they ever grew up?

Thanks, Brian K. Happy 2013 to you too. Aren’t we all supposed to be out partying somewhere?

Happy New Year, somebodyshort. Looks like your avatar already has a hangover.

HAPPY NEW YEAR C & H Fans!!

Happy New Year, Marg. I thought your fingers would be too tired to type, after all of your contributions over at Big Nate yesterday.

OK, here they come. Last time for this early in the morning, since my holiday break is ending.

Here’s Lucy at age six, the same age as Calvin:Click here: Peanuts (January 25, 1962)Click here: Frank and Earnest (September 3, 2009)Click here: B.C. (May 12, 2009)Click here: Ziggy (July 2, 2011)Here’s one from near the end of Peanuts, with Charles Schulz perhaps reflecting back on his own life:Click here: Peanuts (October 3, 1994)

Keep out the riffraff.You going to let Susie decide who is riffraff ?Not MoeMaybe Hobbes?

alway Love C&H….

We pay from the day we come into the universe until the day we die. Of course Calvin doesn’t realize that because his parents are paying for him for now.

New Happy Year.

Happy New Year everybody. Wish you all have a wonderful time.

And a ‘thank you’ to Hobbes for those additional strips. I have no idea how you find them but I am glad you do.

happy new year to all the members …calvin rock….

Careful what you wish for,Calvin.

The refund is not being born!

Thanks for the years of enjoyment; reruns CAN be fun! Happy New Year everyone………

When is Lent?

No “free” lunches. I can remember when companies put stamps on their return envelopes? And you got S&H Green Stamps, and free glasses at gas stations? Now that was “free”.

Well if the universe did have a customer service hot line it would be a some alien planet on the other side side of the galaxy where no one speaks in your language. They may even call the planet INDIA

YES!! I did think sugar. What does that mean? I’m old, or have an open and creative mind??? Hahahahahaha!!!

how about this calvin…we are in an universe, that is in another universe, and another universe that repeats in infinity at the same time parallel universes are conjoined with our universe. blows your mind don’t it.

If we had a cover charge, the free loaders in D>C> wouldn’t get in.

I like that last Peanuts strip, Hobbes. I sometimes do the same thing, but I don’t hear the voice. Also, it’s the only time I’ve ever seen Snoopy curl up like a “normal” beagle.I haven’t commented before, but I love your comic analysis and links. You really do know how to enjoy a strip.

A cover charge to keep out the riff-raff? But wouldn’t that exclude Calvin on two counts: He doesn’t have any money and he’s riff-raff!

“Nothing is free,except air; and they’d tax that if they could.”-“They” would buy it, and sell it back to us… on a breath-by-breath charge if they could.

When you’re a successful businessman, Calvin… You can make sure all of that happens.

Good Luck!

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Speak of the Devil…………..

Happy New Year! Thanks Hobbes – great assortment of comics for today. Thanks TopCat – exceptional! And David Henderson – very funny! I bought C&H sugar the other day.

Give the riffraff their own planet.Happy New Year everyone.

Ahh Calvin the universe is indeed free.. But life has a large cover charge. No one is getting out of it alive…

@Hobbes, four years pass by and Calvin is still short!

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I’m new here. how do you add a favorite?

If I write a book, I think I’ll title it, “And who are THEY, anyway?” :-)

@Thomas Linquist: Thanks for your comment, and I’m glad you enjoy the extra strips. By the way, when I post a different Calvin and Hobbes strip for the day, I try to use earlier ones and avoid the ones that we’ll be reading for the next three years, as we finish out this cycle of reruns of Calvin and Hobbes. Also, some of those later strips are ones that I have deliberately “saved” and never read, so that I can enjoy reading them for the very first time when they appear. When comic strips are first run, a lot of the enjoyment is in opening up the paper, or logging on, and wondering what the characters are up to today.

My raff IS pretty riffted, must be all that celebrating I did last night. I’ll try to do better next time.

Happy New Year, everybody!

A year full of laughter, love, and the sound of tigers purring (that is, growling, friendly-like).

@Hobbes-

Sarcastic tigers…lol.

May we all have a better time..!

Happy New Year!! :D

@Thirdguy, and to whom it may concern,“Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.” In other words, (as Mr Micawber would say), Happy New Year!

Actually, Mr. Micawber would say “In short..”

Hi mythreesons. I hope that you are in good health these days and that you have a good 2013. I’ll be posting some after the holidays, but not every day.

I’ve seen that before. I believe if someone gets reported multiple times(MAYBE by other people)they’ll be banned.

By the way, on your earlier comment, I’m glad you didn’t die. I wonder what it was that made it a near death experience…..

It’s California and Hawaiian Sugar Company, headquartered in Crockett, California. It’s main claim to fame was its use of cane sugar (as grown in Hawaii).

Of course, we don’t grow much sugar cane here anymore, too expensive to handle. (sigh) Ahh well, Happy New Year to you all. :-)

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL THE C&H AND PEANUTS FANS!!

Calvin, we would BE the riff-raff.

Happy new year to you too

I’v resolved to read one C&H comic strip a day :)

or more…

Good thing she found you right away!

@Jeff0811: Calvin seems like a bit of a free radical himself.

Calvin’s idea of New Year’s Resolutions: giving other people lists of their faults and shortcomings to overcome, so as to hopefully make it a better world for Calvin to live in! (LOL!)
