Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 06, 2015

For a stuffed tiger, Hobbes sure has a very expressive face.

Yep, years…

More like months behind.

I would hazard a guess that Bill Waterson’s well might have been running a little dry that day, and so he proceeds to masterfully demonstrate how to make lemonade from a lemon. (Sorry for mixing the metaphors…)

ha ha ha ..calvin has got a good..ah..i mean..uh. well..oh ..uh.. oh never mind..

Reminds me of the pet rock phase.

Back to the drawing board, Calvin.

Or just dumb. Lol

Hobbs thinks your a blockhead Calvin.

Why the heck am I laughing so hard right now?

Of course now they have an app for that.

Be sure to submit your patent for that. And include the smaller, eco “Green”, variations.

Yes, Bill Watterson — you were always ahead of your time with this strip!

I remember once reading that somebody was planning to market a novelty item, a block of wood that you would put on your desk with “mental block” written on it. I have deliberately not googled or looked on Amazon to see if there is such an item for sale, but I wouldn’t be surprised. At least I guess you could use it as a paper weight.

They laughed at the guy who came up with the pet rock too

That is actually cute.

I don’t know why but it’s cute.

That idea was formed in 1975 by a Princeton student named Phil Gould.

Years ago, I purchased several gallons of distilled water from the local market and pasted labels saying “Latex Paint Thinner” on the plastic containers. We then created a feature end with the product displayed and a sign stating, “Latex Paint thinner”, $1.99 gallon. (the distilled water actually cost $1.49 gallon at the next door Red Owl store).Although we never actually sold any product; i.e., we explained it was just a joke, it was amazing how many folks brought a gallon or two to the cashier..I am sure some will be critical of this…

You got reflexes of excuses to get out of homework.

Why would a tiger need a writer’s block?
