Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 03, 2015

You can’t keep a good daydreamer down for long.

The sounds can distract you from daydreaming.

That dress style was extinct by the early Paleolithic period.

Today’s Calvin and Hobbes is a rare one, because Bill Watterson doesn’t use any words.Charles Schulz also occasionally drew a Peanuts strip without any words. Here is a series of three Sunday Peanuts strips, drawn one per year. In these strips, as in Calvin and Hobbes today, actions speak louder than words.Peanuts (November 24, 1957)Peanuts (December 14, 1958)Peanuts (July 26, 1959)

Absolutely fantastic artwork from Mr. Watterson here.

amazing

I’m curious that Spaceman Spiff’s spaceship has a steering wheel instead of a yoke like planes do. I guess Calvin has never seen a cockpit before.

If I wanted to read comments about Peanuts I would have logged on to that comic strip. Let’s keep focused, okay?

A nightmare!!

if I had been confronted by that image of a teacher at calvins age i don’t believe my words could have been put in print in a sunday strip..whoa !!what the ##@&…!!?

Spiff is rudely interrupted in his exploration.

The first five panels remind me of the last 20 minutes of “2001: A Space Odyssey.”

Reminds me of the Ralph Phillips cartoons from Looney Toons (which were the only Looney Toons I really liked).

@neverenoughgold: Sound effects don’t count……..

I had a 4th grade teacher who reminds me of Ms. Wormhole…

My fourth grade teacher,ms ordersMy sixth grade teacher,ms garrison..they were sisters....no lies..The memories are sadly disappointing..all I’m sayin..

Half the reason I come here daily is to enjoy @Hobbes’ “Theme of the Day” extra strips and occasional comics technique and history lessons. :)

The other half, of course, is to enjoy Watterson’s incredible legacy work on C&H.

Calvin is going to grow up to be a cartoonist. I think this is autobiographical

The Mundane culture cannot understand that we ADHDers have the superpowers of hyperfocus and inability to listen to guff, like a lot of the nonsense in our school textbooks. It is not an inability to pay attention, but a neurological imperative to pay attention only to what is important.

Daydreaming? You mean all that Calvin sees and hears isn’t REAL? Well, I see that stuff, too! So there! You must be wrong…

I bet Calvin could feel her hot flame breath on him.

That’s when it starts to get real.

@bluram

All you have to do is scroll through them. No one forced you to read them. And many of us thought it was an interesting post. Sheesh.

I think this is what programmers call a “context switch” :-p
