Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 14, 2009

:0

Things is getting worse and worse.

A rather knotty situation.

This does knot bode well.

cub scouts…that sounds like something that hobbes might have been in, before he left to live with calvin…but all those homophone-inspired puns are starting to get…well…a bit predictable, I must say…

Hobbes has done knots too well!

Let’s knot get carried away with these puns.

A little young to be a Cub Scout isn’t he? Still, the look on his face in panel three is just priceless! LOL

DaDaDavid – You’re not a homophonephobe, are you?

More importantly, will it be Mom or Dad who comes upstairs to get The Great Calvinoudini?

stpatme says: A little young to be a Cub Scout isn’t he?

Cub Scouts starts in first grade with Tiger Cubs, which seems appropriate for Calvin somehow…

Looks like Calvin’s gonna have to yell down to Mom, “Sorry I can’t come down, I’m all tied up at the moment!”

I will knot engage in punsterism…

This can knot be happening.

existential thought…………..

Oh, for heavens sake, I’m knot reading any more of this.

Oh knots, this isn’t fun anymore! Not for Calvin anyway.:D

I would hope that Hobbes could chew through the ropes, but I’m a frayed knot.

But we’re knot done yet! And we’re knot going to apologize. Just sit tight until we really get this whole situation tied up without loose ends.

existential thought………….. Frida, you, bychance, don’t think….. ah nevermind I don’t want to lead us into any Gordian actions…..

that expresion on panel 3 is priceless, I enjoy these guys so much every day

Scouts Canada Beavers 5-7 yo Wolf Cubs 8-10 Scouts 11-16

h2oman: priceless!!

Calvin’s mommy will be very cross if Calvin will not come down to eat the supper at the last chance. Or she will go upstair his bedroom and catch him in the act that Calvin sits on that chair with tying up, she will be exploding, ka-boom up the roof! Be prepare seriously!

One day my sister-in-law, possibly 13 then, came out the back door of their house to see what my husband, then about 10, was screaming about. He was dangling upside-down from a rope securely tangled around his ankles. She went back inside….. a neighbor finally came over and let him down.

But then Calvin would have proof that Hobbes is alive…

That’s great noose Marderofski!

This whole discussion has degenerated into complete pundemonium.

It happuns sometwines, Yukoner

i have a joke:D

a string walks into a bar and asked for a bear, the bartender says “we dont serve strings here” so the string walks back out and pays some guy to beast him up then walks back in about 10 min latter all beat up and messed up and says to the bartender, “hey man can i get a bear?” the bartender asked “aren’t you the same string that just came in here about 10 min ago?” to which the string replied, “Nope I’m a frayed knot.”

seemed appropriate for this one. love this one by the way. and Calvin’s face when hobbes “accidentally on purposely” pulled the wrong string. best one in a while.

I have seen this strip before. I think that Bill Watterson makes strips any more. I think this strip is in Authoritative, Indispensable or Essential C+H. It is funny though.Calvin’s face in panel 2 is so funny! ~joseph_001

punderism indeed

Yes, these are all reruns. Bill only produced the strips for a little over ten years (1985-95). He quit for various reasons, including pressure to merchandise his images. But they are still good, still timeless. We miss Calvin; long live Calvin!

he knows his mom is making broccoli

Avemaria, if she is making broccoli, is it in an effort to pun-ish him?

Such a knotty child…perhaps he ought to be sent to the knotty stair?

tabbylynn says: “a string walks into a bar and asked for a bear”

Why you would ask for a bear in a bar? Surely you’d be better going to a zoo?
