Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 24, 2019

Don’t worry, Calvin. You’re parents will cut open Hobbes in the morning and take you out of his belly. You will be good as new.

my, what a sound sleeper Dad is there oblivious of his wife and son have a little late-night argument over laundry

Even a tiger is a happier camper than Calvin.

Tomorrow rub the fish on Hobbes, that way when he’s dreaming of eating he will bite himself and wake up.

From neurosis to psychosis.

Bad time to “hang out the dirty washing”.

And you didn’t even GO fishing with dad.

The third panel is priceless!

Bears love the smell of cooked fish….but not as much as the smell of fresh meat scented with cooked fish.

I enjoy the strips about Hobbes dreaming and Calvin’s reactions to his dreams. My favourite quote from one of these strips is from Calvin to us readers “If he starts ‘running’, he’s going to get a pillow in his kisser.”

I wasn’t sure if Calvin thought he smelled like fish or if he had an “accident” out of fear.

Mom doesn’t care if her son is attacked by a vicious fish-eating tiger?

I’m amazed that dad hasn’t been kicked out of mom’s tent.

Something about Calvin’s story stinks!

Hobbes will eat me up, let me stay in your tent Mom, please, please!!

Nightmares can be scary. Especially the interactive ones.

Just aim Hobbes at Dad, which would be an interesting test of the tiger’s “reality factor”.

Calvin tartare

I just read of a recommendation for a U.S. Psychologist-General because we citizens need one. And, I vote Calvin our Poster-Boy. About now, mom would plea nolo contendere.

Get him Hobbes – he’s been a little grump this whole trip!

The real problem is that bears like fish too.

So sleep in the buff.

“You don’t care what my clothes smell like, Mom? So it’s okay to strip everything off and toss ‘em into your tent after you’ve gone back to sleep?”
