Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 03, 2009

O M G…. Don’t either one of you sneeze.

Uh oh.

How in the universe did a pair of binoculars become powder?! Regular broken I can understand, but this just teases entropy to the limit of disorder..

Was a road roller was levelling the side walk Calvin was running on ?

What..did…you…dooo!

The lenses are “Dust in the Wind”.

“Cartoon physics” strikes again! :)

NOW he is calm?!?

charlie37133 said, arrange two funerals. one for the binoculars one for yourself, calvin

That bad? lol

the glue, I remember I was trying to glue a china cup even chair leg that I broke, afraid of my mom would found out and blame me…never work! =[[

Yes, that bad. In fact, he might consider cremation and having his ashes combined with the dust of the binoculars, then shot into space. Thus endeth Spaceman Spiff.

Or he could tell the truth. You think?

The truth is looking more like a viable option with every panel read. And don’t forget the waterworks. After all, Calvin is still a kid. And kids look so pitiful when they cry.

Calvin you bone head. Do you remember your model plane and glue incident?

Did Calvin burn the binoculars up to ash?

Musicnut1986: “Dust in the Wind”, isn’t that one of the greatest hits released by Kansas in 1977 ??

Any sneeze or breeze and it’s “Gone With the Wind”!

My suggestion from yesterday, “They got stolen”, is looking better and better.

But the dinosaur skeleton Turned out OK. Maybe he reached the 5th level of Glue Mastery. on the other hand maybe he really is a genius.

WTF! Maybe you should pack your bags and find a train to live in. Just like a hobo.

As a physicist, it’s the first time I see a phenomenon like this: a complete disintegration of binoculars. I have to study this somewhat deeper.

They’ve been completely CALVINISED!!

Tell your Dad that you have discovered a new process for total destruction and there are Zillions of dollars to be made in the waste management industry.

(Don’t tell the Military.)

Just add water!

Made of pressurized plastic,which in turn will explode upon impact.

Aaah… Aaaaah… TCHOOO! Oops. sniffle

Don’t think I’d try glue Calvin. Your record on that isn’t too good.

watcha said,

Just add water! –gud one

Honest Dad, I was just looking at them and they broke

Oh my, Calvin, when you break something you really break it don’t you?

Geez! And I thought my boys could break things when they were young!

Calvinized! LOL, that was a good one, Superfrog!

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Time to plead “spontaneous combustion”, Calvin.

Maybe they’re still under warranty…

try this one calvin

hey dad you never answered me when i asked about using your binoculars

Nothing to glue, too little bits!

No glue, nor replicator will never get Dad his beloved binoculars back ever again. Calvin is just going to have to bite the bullet on this and and fess’ up to Dad.

Yeah, I agree, Calvinized….excellant.

But dad, they are only a little scratched.

I wonder if Bill Watterson reads these comments. I bet he’d get a kick out of them.

“The truth is looking more like a viable option with every panel read. And don’t forget the waterworks. After all, Calvin is still a kid. And kids look so pitiful when they cry.”

A teacher and principal friend (in a prestigious South American school) once told me that the students knew to take advantage of this. The older ones (age about 8-15) would stand in front of his desk with head bowed looking repentant and cutely sad. The younger ones (ages 6-8 or so) would come around the desk to stand by his chair and look up at him with those big, sad, puppy-dog eyes.

I think we all know Calvin will tell the truth when the time comes; he just has to wend his way down the guilt/anxiety trail.

Ladywolf, (WTF)!! My my, such talk for a young Lady.

Once upon a time dad had binoculars…

i don’t know about this this, calvin..

Calvin! Glue is never going to work. Scotch tape should do the trick though…

somebody tell lio he’s going to have visators

Calvin, just hope Dad doesn’t notice its broken. He probably won’t realize that its his binoculars

haha when i break stuff it just breaks to pieces but calvin breaks it to dust.i agree prepare for 2 funerals

I bet they were some cheapo binoculars that Dad bought especially for Calvin.

HyukNuyk, at least he won’t glue his fingers to the binoculars, if he uses tape that is. But if he did use duct tape, I’m pretty sure Dad would notice.

Mmm… Calvin I don’t think glue is the solution, and I’m with Marge, don’t anyone sneeze…

A road roller must have gone over it. Calvin, if you used the binoculars to see the road roller coming to u, you could have saved yourself & the binoculars.

Hey, Calvin, before you die, make sure you tell the truth, & tell your Dad you love him; Making a Will would’nt hurt either!

Dad’ll understand

All the King’s horses and all the King’s men would have a better chance of putting Humpty Dumpty back together than that mess!

calvin should use his transmogifier to turn them back into normal binoculars

tbree…. it’s a cartoon what do you expect? an actual accurate crack?

Play on Mom’s sympathies…Dad’s are less forgiving when it comes to their toys.

They can probally fix that with some glue and a little elbow grease.

they left out the part where they were run over by a cement mixer than burned
