Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 05, 2014

I guess, it stops being cute when you’re 6.

Naked is fine when weather is warm enough!

Well, that’s One way to be different, Calvin! ;)

You won’t enjoy the sunburn on your winky, Calvin.Even Tarzan had a loin cloth.

Calvin’s new clothes!

Illegitimi non carborundum, Calvine!

For Calvin, breaking from the routine is one of the bare necessities of life.

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to wear.

In the book, he decided that since the natives he saw had clothing, and the pictures he saw in his father’s books had clothing, he should wear clothing. So he killed a native and took his loincloth.

I’m with you Calvin.

Natives and nudists who are consistently in their birthday suit, have little concern for sunburn. It’s only the occasional sun devotee that has reason to worry. Do natives and nudists have the same type of skin problems that sun-bathers do? Anyone have statistics?

First laugh out loud of the day.

@Hobbes … I have the original “The Universe has an Attitude, Mom!” strip cut out and hanging up since it was first published in our local paper. The colors are fading, but the philosophy is one that I, at least, still live by …

Better not run into Suzie like that. He doesn’t have pockets to hide his water baloons.

Hey Hobbes goes naked all the time!

Nice try, Calvin!

Doesn’t everyone wear their birthday clothes when they go to their birthday party?.Well if not, what do you wear? Nothing?

At least wear shoes, the sidewalk is hot this time of year.

I hear my wife say occasionally, “Honey, I have nothing to wear!”.I will respond, “Well honey, don’t wear anything…special.”

I like how mother is always reaching out to grab him before his plan can mnanifest.

lol. hilarious.

Calvin’s mom couldn’t “bare” to let her sun go outside in the buff.

Baby steps, Calvin – try a kilt first.

Love Calvin’s smile as he is about to go outside.

@NightShade09: Yes – that’s a good observation. And Bill Watterson also gets to break the boundary of the circle with Calvin and his mom. Of course, Bill Watterson broke a lot of other boundaries during his career as well. He didn’t like things to be too routine, any more than Calvin did, especially when he was designing his Sunday layouts.

If the neightbors saw that they would think his parents don’t watch out for him.

I love how we don’t even need to see what mom is saying!
