Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 11, 2009

So very true….

look out Calvin, there is bump over that hill….

This has always been one of my all-time favorite C&H strips!!

We need more time to do all the nothing we want in life!!

lonewolf, I agree, its nice to sit back, and accomplish nada for a while.

I am good at doing nothing. I wish I had more time for it.

Hobbes is right. Summer is over. The harvest is in. HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all the Canadians posting here.

i, too, excel at the art of procrastination. however, since i do do things eventually, i have obviously not reached perfection. still, i try.

It will get done when it gets done and that’s all there is to it.

Einstein said, “Imagination (Doing nothing, thinking) is greater than knowledge”.

“There’s never enough time…” “Time flies”…soon Calvin will be ‘over the hill’!

It looks as if Calvin and Hobbes are going off into ‘the wild blue yonder’. “Hitch your wagon to a star!” - Emerson

“Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God.” - William Carey

Very true, but it was wonderful! Being in fresh air, sun, swimming, bikeing and hikeing , for all these things time is always too short!

God has made nature so wonderful, so that we cannot get enough from it!

Nada is wonderful, it gives me time to reflect on the wonderful things in life, that I sometimes take for granted.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too Yukoner!

To find the true meaning of existence you must empty the things of the material world from your mind and let the nothing of true existence enter in to it. All else is illusion.

The weekend’s more than half over yet and I haven’t begun to do nothing. Maybe today I’ll do nothing but watch football.

Great strip.

A

Oh I wish there was more time to do nothing. But whenever I start to do nothing all the things I need to do start talking to me.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in Canada, this is going to be my first Canadian thanksgiving and I’m looking forward to it.

Love the scenery! A single path going off into an unknown future.

Yes, such expressive artwork and uncluttered wisdom….as usual.

To DreamScourge: …..into unknown future or into heaven, it’s unknown future too!

Ah, autumn, one of my most favorite times of the year…the other being spring. And soon to look forward to the beautiful tufts of white snow hanging from the green boughs, which unfortunately we get but only once in about 10 years here in S.E. WA. But, “I can dream, can’t I”.

I may appear to be lazy but, I assure you, on the molecular level I’m really quite active.

Retire like me and you’ll have so much time to do nothing, you’ll never know if you’re done or not .

summer with calvin and hobbes must be crazy!

Calvin’s got that right… Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends in Newboro.

Calvin is chanting my motto. The less I do the more I enjoy.

time enough to sleep when your dead

I love this one! The artwork as well as the wisdom!

Time to oil up the old snow blower.

Calvin will have to spend more time in the house in winter with Mom and Dad And the gang More fun coming up for us

What most people do on computers (like right now) wastes a whole lot of “nothing” time, doesn’t it?

For me tomorrow is Columbus day I work pt for the county true county is closed to the public but workers go in as in service day. Just a normal work day for me. We here missed out on the snow in SC KS. Canada injoy you holiday ours is coming in November.

I think this comic strip is very true and meaningful there is something about it that is very true (I don’t know why)

I must be doing something wrong because even in retirement, I don’t have any time to just sit back and do nothing! Doctor’s appointments … house work … yard work … it never seems to end! Oh, to be 6 years old and able to enjoy Calvin’s version of ” doing nothing” again!!!!!

@LX013 I know Calvin drives his cart like a mad man but somehow I don’t think he’s ready for the afterlife just yet and assuming he believes in some deity or another he will certainly have to do some sucking up to gain access to the ‘land of puffy clouds’ Some how I think Calvin would get bored with the rigid rules and soon get kicked out for dousing the god of that realm with one too many water bombs.

I love running ‘a’ round a lot!

It’s a true fall day in northeast New York, about 50 degrees and quite windy. My granddaughter will be here soon so we’re going to bundle her up and get out the kite. I always flew kites with my Dad growing up in the Spring and Fall. When my son was small we ordered one from Lucky Charms and it came with “Lucky” on a parachute. The leprechaun attached to the kite and when the wind hit it just right it would glide to earth. I wrote a letter to Lucky Charms thanking them for the great offer and the hours of fun it gave my family and they sent me another kite which I thought was so cool of them!

The price of Turkey is as high as Calvin & Hobbes on that down-hill-run . Happy Canadian Thanksgiving you’ll up there .

Doing nothing is so very tiring.

You cant stop and rest….

I agree with hobbes,summer is over,don’t know where it went.

“But there never seems to be enough time to do the things you want to do, once you find them”- Jim Croce, “Time in A Bottle”.

Melissa I made a reference to Croce yesterday. “Photographs & Memories” I believe. Both seem to apply appropriately.

Love Croce….a man who died well before his time.

Yes Croce suits Calvin’s comments. Great art as usual and apt thoughts.

Autumn is almost here in Beijing =[[

This is my favorite Calvin & Hobbes scene! I love the sentiment!

hey this is so wonderful. Can anyone tell me in which book this one is? And if there is a European supplier for print of this one? I know of a friend who would definitley like this.
