Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 27, 2023

That’s because tigers know what you mean when you call them putties.

Calvin taught he taw a putty tat!

Is Calvin Tweety now?

Nobody likes to be baby talked at after they are old enough to walk.

Scratch that approach

And Calvin is just finding this out NOW?

The big problem is that you interrupted Hobs nap.

“I tawt I taw a putty tat!!”

Calvin sometimes forgets that Hobbes is not a pet and is sentient… oh, and a tiger. Hope the “being a tiger” thing finally hit home… with the emphasis on “hit”.

Especially when they’re trying to sleep.

I can’t imagine anyone likes being called that.

Leave sleeping tigers lie or alone or something like that.

Like the old folklore tale, " you knew I was a rattlesnake when you picked me up."

Calvin the chew toy….

Maybe just not while sleeping.

Can’t blame Hobbes, Calvin should have known better.

Hobbes is a persuasive teacher.

Especially if you put “Silly” in front of it…

No

Hobbes puts up with a lot from Calvin. But being called a “Putty” is just to much for a Tiger to bear!! lol

Live and learn…or do we? ☺️

Panel #2 is awesome

He tawt he saw a puttie tat…

Pity.

LOL….Yipes ! Stripes !

Nobody does, really. Some just take the offensive at the offense.

Scawy putty

And now you have an interesting “Tat”… ☺

Of course they don’t, this isn’t Power Rangers!

No longer warm putty in your hands, eh, Cal?

The only difference between a tiger and the putty on your sofa is a few hundred pounds.

A few years ago you could have lifted up this comic with Silly Putty.

Great face and pose from Hobbes in the second panel! I take it he’s not a fan of the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons, either…

It’s actually “I tawt I taw a puddy tat!”

I DID!! I DID saw a putty tat…

Never talk baby talk to an apex predator.

one of my all-time faves

“I’m like putty in your hands.” … I give. What is a “putty” here?

He ain’t Sylvester. (Though Tweety should stay clear.)

So noted.

Didn’t know that Calvin was into self-harm.
