Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 29, 2022

If we could all play, who would watch?

Another superbowl game…..

Is Calvin interested in any other sports? Maybe golf or tennis?

one-on-none sports sure can be dull

Calvin is me at his age, but with a soccer ball. Not that at 15 I have improved, neither at 20 or 30. I have had a bad feeling with sports.

I see a future as a Buccaneers QB

Does Calvin run outside during commercials and then come back to watch the game?

What’s the punch line here?

Looks like our little friend is going back to the drawing board.

Let the big kids do what they can.

Had a bad day on the field so he decided to watch someone else have a bad day.

When I was a child, I was too sensitive to play sports.

Next panel: Dad literally throws Calvin out of the house, saying that playing football “builds character”!!

Calvin…the anti-athlete…

He’s not having a good day and afternoon football is on. Not a good day at all.

Football is not fun when Hobbes is not around.

Charlie Brown with baseball, Calvin with football.

That’s what happened whenever I tried to kick it too.

At least Hobbes didn’t tackle him again.

Football is NOT his game…

Ravens were 3rd and 36 on one drive still won the game against the Buc’s TNF (10/27/22)

Oy! a football is such a brutal sport….

If at first you don’t succeed…go watch those who did.

Yeah, that’s pretty much what happens to people. Those who can, do. Those who can’t do, teach. Those who can’t do either, critique.

Those who can’t…. watch TV!

competitive kite flying!!

Calvin with a football at 6 years old is me with any sport at 19.

The professionals make it look easy, don’t they?

Hey live in my state, in the last 4 or 5 years we average 3 wins each of those years. Toss the head coach and have 3 wins thus far. 5 games left to go yet there is a chance we can get to 5 wins and just maybe a bowl game.

Calvin’s always shown essentially zero athletic ability.

It looks so much easier on tv.

Not many of us can compete with professionals.

Good to see baseball winning. The idiot box is nowhere close to it. Love to see kids playing in the sunshine.
