Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 23, 2019

How are you going to get back in your skin?

This is one of my favorite plays on words that Watterson has ever done in these strips.

You’ve ruined the fun of the past few days

No. She’ll probably just smack them bones.

If I recall, this could be the second time Calvin as a skeleton. The first being a living x-ray.

Is our boy about to take an outdoor excursion sans “skin?” Always funny.

Didn’t Vincent Price have one of those in a basement or was he just on acid? His memory haunts us still – it’s like he’s still with us. That movie was a killer but now it’s over the hill. And didn’t he end up treating his wife like the pits?

Looks like Halloween came early this year.

Is jumping out so easy?

With all that force being applied in panel one and two, I’m surprised something internal didn’t get released.

Achmed the Dead Terrorist’s not so evil brother?

haha, I always adored the funny Calvin skeleton. Watterson knew how silly Cal’s proportions would look on a thing like that.

The artwork is really well done; love the details.

And here I thought this kind of thing only happened in “The Banana Triangle”.

This can’t end well.

Someone should have told him to shed his skin like a snake.

Some “Bug” will come along and step into that skin. Nuther Edgar.

Very humerus, tickles our funny bone

Calvin popped out of more than his skin. He also popped out of his muscles, body fat, and internal organs.

Heh, Calvin’s skeleton is cute!

He looks wider in panel 3. TARDIS skin?

Nah, your Mom will see right through you.

When it gets too hot to swim a lot and you can’t get ice cream cones,It ain’t no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones!

Make for a good one of the month of October.

Ah, the imagination of the eternal six-year-old…
