Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 08, 2014

Hobbes should have read something in French to really mess with Calvin.

In what book are you reading this incomprensible whatever Hobbes?

Gotcha, Calvin!

Unfortunaiely, a quote from the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or the Bill of Rights would likely produce the same result today. A foreign or classical language is not needed to outwit a limited attention span. OOH! SQUIRREL!!

I used to repeat everything my friend’s 5-year-old son said until he started speaking in Russian, which I can’t speak. However, he was so surprised that I was able to mimic his Russian.

With Hobbes by his side Calvin will not become a Wimpy Kid.

Well Calvin would have a lot more fun with a Monty Python reference, but it would go over the heads of most people (adults included!) reading the strip :)

Where is our Hobbes-the-commenter?I think he is a religious of some kind…maybe he got penance for messing around on comics sites.

Hobbes should’ve read one of Calvin’s study books, that way he’ll be tricked into doing some of his own homework.

THIS would have been more like Hobbes:“In such condition, there is no place for industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving, and removing, such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” (From Leviathan)

And THEN you die. No Rousseau here.

Tigers don’t quote philosophy?

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable,

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table,

David Hume could out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel,

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There’s nothing Nietzsche couldn’t teach ya ’bout the turning of the wrist,

Socrates himself was permanently pissed…

ha ha really ..nothing to say… ha hahhahah

where is susie

When my oldest boy was in high school, he was assigned to do a 15(?) page essay. It was suspected that the teacher did not bother to proof these essays, so as a test he put together an essay in which the first two and last two pages pertained to the subject.. Then, I went to my books and the middle pages were copied from books and newspapers in Spanish, German and Turkish!He passed!

His younger brother is now a school teacher!I asked him if he assigns lengthy essays—“No way!! I don’t want to waste my time having to read them!”

I thought that game was over yesterday, when Calvin didn’t repeat Hobbes?

I love the last panel. ROTFLMAO!

Best way to deal with some1 who repeats you is to start in with Jerry Lewis’ "1 hen, 2 ducks, 3 squawking geese … " routine! Ends it every time. ☺

Beautiful tongue, Hobbes!

Thus endth the trick… Yesssss…

I guess, the strip can now be called “Calvin, Hobbes and Kant.”

I just realised another way Hobbes could’ve had fun with Calvin’s copying is to scream a bunch of swear words and watch as Calvin’s parents punish Calvin for repeating them.

In Mexico I had a kid doing this to me. It actually helped, if my pronunciation was off he’d exaggerate what I’d done wrong, so I could easily hear where my mistakes were. When I wanted him to stop I switched over to English.

Why is not Hobbes reading Hobbes?

4 thumbs up!
