Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 07, 2018

Calvin, you’re going to lose 2 fights today.

You would expect Calvin to be in victory formation if he ever knocked out Susie’s eye. Turns out he has a light side after all.

Uh-huh. How timely. Girls aren’t always the sweet, innocent victim. They can very well hold their own, and then some. Beware.

Well, Calvin, you ASKED for it. You go, Susie!

Heh, that’s one point for Susie!

LMAO “Can I see the socket?”

Reminds me of Laugh-In… Socket to me!

The shear brilliance of Watterson!

Now is that love or is that love!?

Next one please!!

“Calvin got his butt kicked!”

This is too funny for this morning!! ☺

Go, Suzie!!

My all-time favorite.

That’s how long relationships start.

From here on in, this will be referred to as the Suzie Special!

To quote Kahn (who was quoting from what’s been attributed to either a Portuguese or Italian proverb although the Klingons may also use it) “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” On the other hand, at least Calvin didn’t miss.

What year did that one come out? This strip should be about their kids by now. Can you picture the lawyer Calvin would be?

The female of the species strikes again!

HA! Now it’s Calvin’s turn to have his eyeball “knocked out!” ;)

Susie has a good right.

In the land of the blind…

Be grateful it wasn’t your teeth.

The ayes have it.

Mad Magazine, ca. 1968: Man standing on sidewalk; second man walks up, slaps him on the back, and asks, “How’s the glass eye doing?” First man’s eye pops out, bounces into the street where it is promptly run over by a handy steamroller. First man replies, “It’s doing okay. Guess I’ll have to get one for the other eye now.”

Why do I get the sinking feeling that those two will marry someday?

When I first read this strip, I thought Calvin and Susie each lost one eyeball for real and for the rest of the strip, they drew two eyeballs for them both even though they had one because it looked weird if they had just one. You’ll have to remember I was like seven or eight, so I had the craftiest ideas (if crafty means weird). After reading this, I developed a deep fear of losing one or both of my eyeballs (which I still have now. And yes, I am a paranoid person). WHY WATTERSON?!? YOU CREATED ONE OF MY DEEPEST FEARS! But I still think this is funny.

“Can I see the socket?” Brilliant aside.

Sassy Susie ! <3

And … “Where did it roll”?
