Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 08, 2014

Hobbes can rule out a career as a professional poker player.

It’s not only the face you have to keep straight, Hobbes….

Love Hobbes tail in the 3rd panel.

“Can’t read my, can’t read my, no you can’t read my poker tail”…oh, I guess you can.

Those expressions in the 2nd and 3rd panels; Mr. Watterson, take a bow.

Hobbes has a “tail”

He has a tell-tail.

Reminds me of the cat in “Gordo” when he was stalking a bird.

Not when they draw their inside straight.

Hobbes has a “tattle-tail”.

That’s some tell you’ve got there, Hobbes.

Meh for the poker face. Hobbes needs a poker tail.

Cat’s actually lash their tails for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they slowly swing it back and forth when they’re looking around, as if they’re thinking about what they’d like to do.Often they’ll actually lash their tail when they’re stalking, especially if it’s a string instead of a bird or mouse. So when they’re playing.

What have you done with your tail, Hobbes, has it got youngsters??

The tail gives it away. (Hobbes has a great hand)

Don’t play against pussy players. ;P

I guess you’d have to know how to play Poker to laugh at this one.

Hobbs is just like my dog. Great poker face, but lousy poker tail. Always wags when he gets a good hand.

Noooo, Not our Calvin!

Nothing in the rule book says you cant watch your opponents tail.

Hobbes focused too much on his poker face.

Looks like Garfield’s tail when he’s preparing to pounce on a hamburger.

Hobbes has a good poker face, but he really needs to work on his poker butt.
