Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 11, 2025

How would Calvin smell without a nose? Still terrible!

I like Hobbes’ laugh in the 3rd panel

He bathes every Saturday night!!!

You set yourself up for that, Calvin!

I never knew that Hobbes was learning things from other imaginary tigers.

Hobbes Reminds me of Tigger with his laugh today!

He walked right into that one!

I spat coffee. Going to have to make a fresh mug.

He walked right into that one. :D

It makes sense that animals have names for smells. Their noses are magnitudes more sensitive than ours.

Yeesh. I’m acting as if Hobbs is real!

That’s it Calvin!! Rub Hobbes’ face in some petrichor!!

I wonder if wet tiger smells as bad as wet dog.

Well then, I sure hope he don’t fart !!!

If he had said “Delicious” Calvin would be in deep doo doo, the tiger word for poopie.

I think we all walked into that one. Even those of us who’ve read it before!

He bit!

it snowing in Virginia!!!

Good on Cal. Open mouth, insert foot.

My dog has no nose.

How does he smell?

Terrible!☠️

Don’t ask questions you don’t want to know the answer to.

chortle

Also, panel 4 is a tribute to Goofy’s holler as he falls, speeds off, etc.

Calvin has no nose. How does he smell?

As a brewer we had a few to describe how beers smelled. Petrichor, grassy, piney, horse blanket, buttery and even cat pizz.

Set yourself up for that, Calvin.

I think that last panel was easier to draw than the first three….. :0)

I would have thought the word word be ‘delicious’

……that was a “home run”!!!!!!

My first full on giggle this AM. I needed that.

Way too cool, you just got a third degree burn there Cal ! ;-)

walked into that one

That’s actually a double zinger, because compared to animals, Calvin (and other humans) are really terrible at smelling things!

So worth it!

To be fair, humans smelling bad to other animals may be one reason we survived as a species.

Good one Hobbes, but a wet Tiger doesn’t smell like roses either.

When someone pitches you a fat one, ya gotta hit it out of the park!
