Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 12, 2022

When great minds meet.

Calvin’s discussions would be a big hit on social media today.

Solving world problems…..

Dragonflies are awesome! This is what comes to mind.

wonderful

Important conversations

Relevance is relative

My cat’s always listen but do not seem to always agree.

Do bugs barf?

They have generated a hypothesis. Now they need to work out how to test it.It’s great to see the intellectual process of scientific method at work.

I just had an idea for a new piece of exercise equipment that spins you around until you barf.

Butterflies’ built-in gyroscopes are not very good.

Betcha they barf when “Raid” hits them!!

Barf-flies!

Deep Thoughts…by Calvin and Hobbes…

For some kids, just having a friend is good.

Sadly, if Calvin tries to talk to another kid about something like this, they’ll just think he’s not of this earth and run away.

It’s great to have such a friend!!

It’s still a valid question. Why do they move around so randomly? I mean I suppose, if you don’t know where the food is, one direction is as good as another, but why so many directions in the same minute? They all look like me walking around at a nudist beach.

Small minds discuss people. Big minds discuss ideas.

Reminds me of the scene in the movie “Stand by Me,” based on Stephen King’s novella, The Body, where four boys sitting around the campfire earnestly consider the question: “Alright, alright, Mickey’s a mouse, Donald’s a duck, Pluto’s a dog. What’s Goofy? . . . Goofy’s a dog. He’s definitely a dog. . . . He can’t be a dog. He drives a car and wears a hat. . . . Oh, God. That’s weird. What the h### is Goofy?”

And snails eat with their feet

My guess is that makes it harder for predators, such as swallows, bats, and dragonflies, to grab them.

Hobbes is mess… Great!

Crazy loops and zigzags seem to be the state of conferences in today’s American collegiate athletics.

Best friends ever.

Flies barf on their food

There is a small percentage that like that type of knowledge.

True that, Calvin. True that.

The look on Calvin’s face in the second panel was a signature look for the comics of this era and always makes me chuckle…thank you Bill Watterson!

… and such lofty ideas, too!

Now that’s a friend

this is one of the best cartoons about kids ever
