Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 15, 2011

Mexicans wear them

Calvin doesn’t need no stinking sombrero.

Try it with two pairs of sun glasses!

Cool people don’t like to do anything like anyone else. They like to be unique, and do things like get lots of tattoo’s, have their pants crotch at about their knees, wear their hat sideways, etc. You know all that cool unique stuff no one else does.

I’d say Hobbes looks pretty cool, rockin’ that sombrero. Not everybody could pull that look off!

If Puss can wear boots, then Hobbes can wear a sombrero.

Everything has been done already, so there’s nothing unique anymore. The funny thing is that everyone tries so hard to be unique, so in reality they’re just doing what everyone else is doing.

Something people here might want to know: Friday 18 November, three days from today, is the 26th anniversary of the first appearance of Calvin and Hobbes as a syndicated comic strip. It ran for just over ten years, ending on 31 December 1995 with 3,160 strips published.

Sparky did not quit. Watterson should get back in the saddle.

to day very handsome Hobbes’s …….what ’s happening to Cal?

I don’t care what Calvin says…Hobbes is cool no matter what!

Yes, it’s not much fun without a sombrero!

Try again Hobbes, but this time with a poncho and a side arm.

Too true Hobbes. What fun is being cool if you can’t wear a sombrero?

You should wear a fez now, Hobbes. Fezzes are cool. :-)

Hobbes looks realy good with the sombrero!

Love that look on Calvin’s face in panel two – LOL

toooooo coooooool

One has to wonder, though: where did Hobbes get the money to buy a sombrero? Where did he go to buy it? Who would sell a stuffed tiger a hat (don’t forget – only Calvin sees him as alive)?

I wear a Sombrero now… Sombreros are cool _

Can’t wait for the Mickey Mouse Pants! Too Cool!

I agree with Lucinda, everyone knows fezzes are cool.

I always considered this C&H’s first misfire. The punchline sounds like something out of the feeble last years of “Peanuts.”

I don’t think Garfield is old or stale – and Jon is still cranking them out….

Hobbes: Being cool is not fun. It’s hard work!I’d rather enjoy myself than be cool.Which is one reason I’m a nerd.

bmonk I LOVE THAT AVATAR! That’s hilarious!

You’d never catch Joe Cool wearing a sombrero!

Or a coolie hat. Coolie hats are cooler than sombereos. But just barely.

Hobbes, You’re NATURALLY cool.

xxx

Right on, Hobbes!

Cool one!! Hey number 3 I hope you get this but you should put a picture of you in the comments so I can see your pretty face !!!!! Later!!!

Sparky stayed on top his whole career. I never found him boring and certainly never tedious.

Got my shades, my bomber jacket; gonna run to walmart right now and get a sombrero.

Never knew you could buy cool. Thought you had to earn it. Silly me.

If I wanted to be cool, I’d dress up as one of the Blues Brothers. I think they’re cool.

Hobbes needs a horse with a fancy leather saddle with silver inlay all over it = way cool south of the border, muchacho….(I don’t think I spelled that right, but I’ve never been cool either)

What I want to know is how Hobbes bought the sombrero. Did he walk into the hat shop and say “One sombrero please”? This conjures up all sorts of interesting scenarios of tigers, shop assistants and sombreros……. hmmm…

I bet if the “Occupiers” all wore sombreros they would get more respect.

Maybe he got it from the basement

Animal hats are in right now, as are cartoon character hats.

Precisely Susan. Cool is mental. No one wants to be warm. Girls like it when someone says they’re “Hot!”. Guys like it when people think they’re coooool~ … No one likes being in the middle.

EVERYONE is pretty in some way, Number 3. Don’t sell yourself short. :D

think you’re pretty! And funny and sweet, too! <3

What’s the point of LIFE with no sombreros!?!?!

But sombreros ARE cool!
