Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 22, 2023

One can always hope.

It’s like Calvin is making a bucket list.

6. Getting a heat-seeking missile for Christmas. I’m sure this list will be his next letter to Santa.

My favourite little joy used to be popping the paper seal on a jar of instant coffee, etc. with a spoon. The sound it made was so satisfying! Then they started sealing those jars with plastic, which made no sound. Maybe now plastic has fallen from favor they’ll go back to paper.

I definitely agree on No. 5 being a wishful thought. :D

I bet that Calvin would love to do that last one to Moe!!

BTW, he already has a happy tiger (Hobbes IS happy, isn’t he?).

6. Having a best friend in Hobbes……

obviously referring to Moe the bully

Like # 5 ???

That would be number 5, right.

Getting up five times a night to go to the bathroom and not the usual six. Or seven.

Come to think of it… Four out of five is actually pretty good.

I’m sure the #5 will eventually happen….one day!

I had to tell myself doing a lot worse than 5 wasn’t worth it, so the scum I went to school graduated with bodies intact.

The fifth one really isn’t worth the retaliation. You know there will be some.

What’s life without a little joy, ol’ boy?!

1. Hobbes reads them first while Calvin is at shool.2. He never had a dog (although His dad wanted one instead of Calvin)3. He has NO friends and gets no BILLS!4. Hobbes eats all the marshmallows while Calvin waits for the chocolate to cool.5. Keep dreaming kid…or, try watching the Karate Kid..

Every underdog’s dream – getting even. Most don’t realize, some times until much later, that outworking and outstudying the Moe’s succeeds where the short-lived pride that might come from attempts at physical retaliation will not.

Screaming funny strip.

How about Mom saving you from eating worms…

When I was a kid my sister, who was much older than me, got the idea to have me right down 5 things I liked and 5 things I didn’t like every summer for a few years. I forgot all about it until she brought out the papers about 10 years ago and I read them. I wonder what I was thinking about that made me chose those things back then? I don’t remember liking scrumdillicious bar so much or disliking the little black haired girl so much.

What? Not petting a happy tiger?

“Huck a rock at me”

Calvin’s list of the world as he knows it.

What, you’ve never eaten the marshmallows from your hot chocolate?

I’m pretty sure you haven’t done #5, Calvin. But I feel your wish to do this.

I’ve never experienced #5. Anger, but not to the point of violence

“Throat”, I think it’s his throat. Not neck.

Number one joy of life- -Having a tiger to hug.

6. thinking of the perfect response immediately, instead of 3 days later

Love Calvin’s face in the second panel!

I hit a kid in the 5th grade right in the face that was picking on me for weeks. I was the one who got in trouble but he never bothered me again.

Calvin, I hate to tell you this, but you’re the kid with no more teeth in that last scenario.

Fifth item referring t Moe? I hope not.

Bullet no.5 will perfectly fit for Moe, Calvin. You need to experience that.

I love it when Hobbes is sarcastic.

Especially the bully one. He is too busy decorating the sidewalk.

Hope that isn’t a school assignment.

6. Watching burning Russian tanks and other armour.

I completely agree with all 5 statements. Especially number 1. Remember, a new comic book doesn’t have to be new, it just means you’ve never read it before.
