Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 17, 2013

If at first you don’t succeed… try something else.

yep Linux0s, more like one is not meant for that task!!!

He certainly gives up easily.

Fun is fun, and some fun is funner than other fun. Stick that one in your kite-eating tree, Charlie Brown!

Is that a trial balloon?

I am not a number!

pls on cul de sac strip Grandmom say chiggers does is mean …?

Calvin just finished watching the movie “Up!” Yikes!

Balloon works without effort!

Now that’s progress….. I think.

Charlie Brown he’s not.

Trial Balloon: You can’t fly the kite if it is vertical.

If at first U don’t succeed ………….. try something new !!!

Chiggers are nasty. Tiny little things that live in weeds and get under your skin and itch like crazy/

I see a new product coming to market soon. A kite-shaped balloon.

Where’d he get the helium? I’d blow up a balloon and be all frustrated that it wouldn’t stay up. Metaphor for later life?

If at first you don’t succeed, try second base or shortstop.

Sister123 has the right idea. I was thinking of attaching a large enough balloon to the kite to lift it. “You Raise Me Up.”

Had the same problem when my family got our first kite, but our parents said no to helium in our balloons, so it was a no win situation all round. XD

Charlie Brown could learn something from Calvin :-D

Balloons are more fun anyway

Go on. Do whatever gives you fun.

It works… STOP Complaining!!

Charlie Brown should have thought of this.

LOL… I love his angry face in the 3rd panel.

The Balloon WILL work better, Calvin.

I think that would be unlikely. He’s a wishy washy blockhead who can’t make friends no matter how hard he tries. Calvin’s seems happy having Hobbes as his only friend. He doesn’t even try making friends with real kids.

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again. Then quit. There’s no use being a damn fool about it.W.C. Fields

you should balloon other end
