Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 02, 2009

You just blew a good thing, Calvin…

…Reminds me of the kid in ‘Oliver.’

Thank you, Fer Lefer, and the same to you.

Well, it was too good to last.

Don’t bother asking for bacon, eggs, and waffles Calvin. You’ll find yourself kicked out the door in 5 minutes!

She only got up there quick to tell you about school tomorrow. Now, if tomorrow would only hurry up and get here for Mom.

A sure sign that Calvin’s recovered: he’s now as selfish and demanding as ever.

Calvin had it made, too bad he lost it all.

Hobbes seems to have abandoned Calvin.

Knowing mom, she would have anyways packed him to school! So Calvin is enjoying while the good time lasts.

There you have it, Calvin, for being cheeky!

Back to abbynormal for Calvin! Should’ve left well enough alone!

Merry Christmas to all! Seems like Calvin’s feeling better… HAHAHA

Now thats the sign of a healthy kid .. esp. Calvin .. but alas his big mouth .. !!!

Did anyone stop to consider that being confined to be is too boring for Calvin and he wants to go back to school? Think of the adventure! Will Mom think to call and warn Calvin’s teacher or will she give herself an evil chuckle and let fate be fate?

Calvin, where’s your PR consultant? You need another communication strategy to get more out of your “in-bed” situation

Another fantasy, huh?

Good One, Andy! I can just picture the kind of signs Calvin would make for his bed-in! Where is Hobbes anyway?

Hmmmm, I tried this with the love of my life. I miss Mom

Miss Wormwood has had a peaceful few days but that’s about to end come tomorrow.

EMET Only when he’s old enough to tell the wife to get him a beer.

I don’t know what made me think of All In the Family.

Calvin, you have sealed your doom.

My guess would be Hobbes is in the top dresser drawer with Calvin’s shirts pulled over his head because as we all know tigers have very sensitive hearing. And let us not forget his sence of smell, and guessing that Calvin is about to get the bleeep slapped out of him..!

Eventually Hobbes wouldn’t agree with Calvin’s line of argument and doesn’t like to get involved… hehe… :-)

my mom would have taken me to school late after paddling my butt

oh that’s right, that would be child abuse these days

It’s the human condition: Adam and Eve in the garden, just like Calvin and Hobbes staying home from school, neither realized what a good thing they had. Seems like none of us can help ourselves from screwing up sometime.

@bald 716 - Did we have the same mother? Mine would have done the same thing! LOL

I am looking for the Calvin & Hobbes comic strip which has Cal standing under a tree wearing shades.

Hobbes came along and asked what’s he doing. Cal : looking cool. Hobbes : You looked more like youre bored. Cal : The world bores you when you’re cool’

Thanks

SWEET find!

if your well enough to shout, your well enough to go to school,, mom always told me,, “if your well enough to leave your room and watch TV, your well enough to go to school”

ed-in-toledo

i’m not really sure, but my mom did visit my sister in Michigan once in a while and passed through Toledo on the way from Erie Pa

Push it until it breaks…

You know I’m kind of anxious to see the next panel, when Calvin’s jaw just drops to the floor.

Hobbes is a little ashamed of this behavior He is hiding under the blankets

Or maybe Calvin smothered him under the covers.

Too bad Calvin, you had a good thing going.

…and everything is back to normal (such as it is).

My Mom never had to worry about me because I got bored being home sick. I couldn’t wait to get out of bed and get back to school and my friends. It was usually the doctor who would advise Mom I’d stay home another day or two. He’d usually say I could get out of bed but move to the couch so I could watch tv and take it from there. I guess it’s because I had the whooping cough alot when I was a kid, before they came up with a shot to prevent it. I thought I’d suffocate and die from it one day. I have a feeling since they came up with a shot for it that some children did die back then.

Man, Calvin is REALLY sick!

C&H fans,

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

So many forums on the web are full of profanity and negativism. Thank you all for being upbeat and positive all the time and celebratory of one of the simple things in life – a bratty-yet-lovable six year old and and his wise sidekick. (Or is it the other way around?)

I enjoy reading these posts as much as I enjoy Calvin because of the positivism. (Is that a word?) Keep it up.

I agree with Calvin86. And here´s something positive. Calvin’s gonna positively drive Susie Derkins bonkers when he goes back to school. He’s been charging up his battery for a few days!

time for him to get out,if he can yell like that,vacation from calvin is over miss wormwood

You asked for it, Calvin…hahaha!
