Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 04, 2011

LOL

No, not quite.

Mom, go away!

Tree is better, it is alive!When I was a little girl I didn’t like playing with dolls, I wanted always something alive!

On the top step? That’s worse than the tree.

It’s all downhill from there.

I’m with rogue53 on this.

Since when does Calvin go along with what his mom says so easily?

hahaa I love C&H and every comments

Here is a Peanuts strip that may provide some further insights on today’s topic:Click here: Peanuts (1972)

@GretchensMom:Regarding your avatar problem, I looked at your other comments on this from other strips, and you mentioned that you were using Firefox and downloading images from the Web by right-clicking and then using “Save Link as.” You need to be using “Save Image As”, not “Save Link As.”If you still can’t get the Web images to work when you use “Save Image As”, you could try uploading a photo from a camera that you know is a JPG file, as long as the file size is less than 2 MB.Also see my suggestion last night, about trying a different computer, in case your Web browser software is corrupted.Good luck, and I hope this helps.

All kids (and tigers) climb trees or at least they should. It’s better than sitting around playing video games all day.

Looks like the branch they were on isn’t dead.

Where is Rat when you need him?

Be careful, Calvin, a ca’t might walk under your ladder.

Aw mom you had to ruin Calivin plan to live for danger. He was just relaxing or chilling on that branch.

That’s what the roof is for! Just do it, Mom won’t mind!

@suzleigh,Usually Mom is ‘barking up the wrong tree’ when she tells Calvin what to do!

Nature always wins.

Aw, come on Mom — little boys (and stuffed tigers) bounce when they fall!

Might be safer but man the view is not near as good.

Hobbes is not quite the same when Mom’s around. . . .

brilliant

There’s always the roof.

Reading these strips can be a very interesting exercise since it causes us to reflect upon the past, but it can also be difficult at times.

It’s a lot cuter actually.. I used to do that.

xxx

Calvin’s parents need to get him a used jungle gym to climb around on. I can’t deal with climbing on ladders myself – my sense of balance isn’t up to that sort of thing…

Lol @ Calvin’s expression in the fourth panel :D

Where’s the extension ladder when you need one?

Calvin wanted to branch out and go out on a limb.

lol!

Well, some of us would be dead…..

Ahh, the time tested tactic of agreeing with someone to bolster ones position, as you’ve accused others of in the past. Well done hobbes (the impostor). Must we ALL see things as you do, or is there room here for personal opinion?

moms are no fun.

Wait, But the ladder is also dead wood…
