Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 17, 2015

Oh Calvin, how could you set him up so easily?

Humans don’t smell so fine by nature! They always must work against smelling horrible!

Your fault, Calvin! You set yourself up for that!

With his nose?

Good comic. Animals can smell what you have eaten. Prey animals can detect if you have eaten meat in the past two weeks from your body odor.

Sometimes, it’s just worth it, right, Hobbes?

Little boys in my area smell of pencils, sunflower seeds, and a certain cologne that all moms use to plaster down their hair for combing. If you get in the elevator at lunchtime you can often percieve that warm-schoolboy-smell.

Hobbes sounds like he’s been listening to my dad.

sniff sff sniff hmmmmm… sniff sniff sniff hmmm….I must be careful here…

Nothing like getting the truth from your best friend, it keeps you humble.

Cool Comic

Walked right into that one, Calvin.

Maybe if you wouldn’t deny your baths, you wouldn’t have been insulted like that.

I thought Hobbes would say “Tasty”.

Don’t ask questions that you don’t want answered.

Interesting

good point.

Me, too!

Sadly, there are those who are actually allergic to soap. Luckily, there are allergenic soaps available.But Calvin totally set Hobbes up with a meatball belt high and out over the plate. Hobbes did what any good hitter would do with it; he drove it out of the yard.

First rule of trial lawyers: Don’t ask a question to which you do not already know the answer. (OK, it may not be the FIRST rule, but it’s right up there!)

I like it love those comics

Humans do try using one smell to cover another. One example is after somebody walks by leaving a strong smell of ivory soap, or cheap perfume. Ugh!

“On his return it took nearly a month before his wife was no longer able to detect the spicy aroma his body had acquired from living on the local Sri Lankan diet.”

Sounds like an excuse. Probably the smell of his Sri Lankan girlfriend.

Did anyone else imagine Hobbes sounding like Tigger in that last panel?

Oldest joke in the book.

It’s obviously brand new to Calvin though so I won’t ruin it for him.

Ya beat me to it, ’tater.

It is said that the Vietcong could track the Americans by the drugstore smells; they brushed their teeth and spat the minty-freshness on the ground and it lingered.

One of my uncle Genie’s four jokes:“How does a donkey with no nose smell?”“Awful.”
