Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 07, 2015

I thought Calvin was already a little pest.

I sense a hint of disappointment.

And suddenly it occurs to Calvin, that he will need a pilots license to be able to fly and attack his Dad.

Now I know, where tyrants come here!

The basis for a good horror movie scrapped.

@Grog: The comment count used to surpass 86, but in those days, 79 of them were by Hobbes….

You should see the comments on Ballard Street,when a B’day comes around. Good morning,everyone.

@LeadingEdge: LX013 just had her 7-year anniversary as a poster on GoComics. It’s amazing how much her English has improved over the years. She lives in Austria, so she doesn’t have to post at 6:00 in the morning like some of us.

Maybe we can post more than 86 comments today.

Maybe we can post more than 86 comments today.

Maybe we can post more than 86 comments today.

(Etc.)

Twenty and counting…

One what, Calvin? A mosquito or a vampire?

I guess if I had a choice, I’d prefer vampire! Mosquitos have a very short life span…

The male mosquito eats fruit. As Kipling noted: The Female of the Species is More Dangerous Than the Male.

I wonder whose bright idea it was to put those two mosquitos on the ark?

32 and counting.

If an adult acted like Calvin did, he would be in a room with padded walls.

Oh it’s WAY WORSE Calvin…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………they’re poisonous.

Vampire bats, on the other hand . . .

I hope I never live to get bitten by a mosquito.

No thanks!

I thought mosquitoes, like flies, were ubiquitous. Perhaps I’m wrong.

Mosquitoes are the main reason, and flies too, that I don’t kill non-poisonous spiders. If I find them in the house I capture them and carry them outside, much to my daughter’s chagrin. She calls me a spider lover. I don’t love them, I just respect them, and want to give them a chance to do their jobs :)

Hi Leading Edge

.

From yesterday: “There are some nice things about being a woman. I’d think I’d like the idea of having brought a life into this world.”

.

“But I don’t think I’d like being pregnant and as for actually giving birth?? I’m an engineer. I’ve looked at the plumbing. That’s got to hurt! No thanks, I’ll stand there and watch it happen in the mirror behind the doctor.”

Lol, I agree with you 100%. The pregnancies and labor were difficult, but totally worth it. I absolutely love being a mommy. That was my life’s ambition, I had my boy and my girl, and I am so blessed to have accomplished my dream.

Let us know when your book is available :)

We’ll see!

We’ll see!

We’ll see!

Next in the morning, 6 am!

@LeadingEdgeI happen to know that LX013 is an Oma in real life. In terms of age, she is probably closer to being a Mutti to me.

A chatty group here, aren’t we?

Thanks to the majority for keeping things civil, too.

Only if there’s a full moon.

They can give you West Nile Virus or malaria, two very real concerns . . .
