Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 06, 2018

Hobbes’s o-line is not doing a good job protecting Calvin.

No Calvin, you need a referee.

but who’d play with you, Calvin, in a — so to speak — one-on-none football game?

This explains the futility of the Cleveland Browns.

You should see if you can persuade Susie to block for you. She might if she knew the rush was coming from Hobbes. She could easily stop him with smooches.

Hobbes has his claws retracted, at least.

Just don’t play against the Peanuts.

I’m sure Moe would love to play any game that involves smashing Calvin!

Love the look of sheer terror on Cal’s face in panel #3. Watterson was a master of a single figure in a single panel doing so much. Hobbes’ happy faces, Calvin’s grumpy face. Cal with his tongue out as Mom throws him out of the house. Every singe aspect of C&H was near perfection.

Time to switch to Calvinball.

At least another center.

Must have been what Stafford felt like Sunday

I hear Charlie and Lucy are available.

Calvin has got to learn to get out of the pocket.

Hobbes should play for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Hobbes, ever the defector.

Dallas Cowboys.

I want to thank you all for not mentioning my Lions. Except Herb. It wasn’t Matthew’s fault (I like to tell myself).

Calvin, give up that stupid “football” and go back to Calvinball. That way you have a chance of winning, by cheating more creatively than Hobbes.

As long as it comes down to speed, strength, and aggressiveness, always bet on the tiger!

Calvin NEVER plays with other kids. It’s somewhat sad.

That’s just like a cat: no kill so important that it can’t also be fun!

You know you have problems when you need more imaginary friends.

Getting tackled by your own center? Almost as bad as the Butt Fumble.

Wouldn’t be Calvinball with more players.

“…some more players” would involve Calvin actually getting some friends, or at least some patients with a level of psychosis that allows them to think a stuffed tiger is alive…piece of cake…

The giants stink the Texans are somehow better

Ask Suzie to play! I’m sure she could pound Calvin into the ground just as well as Hobbes!
