Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 22, 2011

Such excitment!

We all have days like that Calvin. Welcome to the real world.

The kid’s got a future in show biz.

So he had a good day. That is nice to hear :-)

I had such a day yesterday, nothing worked as it should. And when I saw my son in the evening he said his day was the same like mine!

Sounds like a good good day.

Ah yes. After a day spent contemplating the intractable problem of evil and the diabolical atrocities of war, it’s time for another discussion on snowpants. I guess Calvin and Hobbes has a little something for everyone.

I have to admit, I was very relieved to see that today’s strip wasn’t on the topic of nuclear annihilation.

Yes Hobbs, a little lightheartedness is in order. Yesterday was much more a super serious ethics discussion than a happy romp with a sassy scamp and his faithful Hobbs. Um, I mean the tiger Hobbs, not the commenter.

Yeah, Calvin and I have never been able to figure out who that “Hobbes” commenter is…

Thank god today we have something to do with snow, after such a serious discussion on serious topics.. :D

What a ‘Show and Tell’ !!

Well instead Calvin’s mom should be more concerned about how was the day for people around Calvin…lol..

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you enjoyed it, Calvin.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠!

Well, there Calvin and I would’ve parted ways. I never enjoyed getting into hopeless messes for the sake of getting into hopeless messes.

His backup temperament is certainly different from mine, even though our core temperaments are the same. At the core, we want to be imaginative. As a backup, he wants to have fun, I want to be competent.

Calv is a sport!!! Atta boi!!!

Calvin was in heaven - all that attention and he didn’t even get sent to the principal’s office!

Yes, of course…….

Calvin, you crack me up.

Nothing like a pair of snowpants to alleviate a tedious and boring education.

Sometimes we teachers recognize genius…and style.

This was a common, daily occurs in the 70’s wiggle wiggle fall over great snowday imagined conquered but yet it was cool as all get out his zipper was frozen this truly is amazing sight and wow factor. “the iced over perfect stache’ picture fireman”

Thank God! For a minute there yesterday, I thought State of the Union was back! :-)

Ah yes, to be the center of attention.

Calvin you must have had fun. Were the other kids watching and laughing to. Being a class clown for a change must be different then the tormentor.

I can just picture mom shaking her head back and forth….LOL

What an adventure as all little boys love! I think.

This would be the highlight of any child’s day when it breaks the monotony and routine of each school day

Tedious, Terrible, snowpants zippers frozen with snow. I hated it! Nothing as frustrating as a jammed zipper on a coat etc. Thank heavens I am not a man.

Hobbes said, about 10 hours ago …..Yeah, Calvin and I have never been able to figure out who that “Hobbes” commenter is…

Not hard to figure out. You sometimes post as Jonathan k., and probably a couple of other names, always trying to compare yourself to a cartoon character who isn’t even an adult. Seems sort of sad really. Sorry if I misspelled your name.

Very interesting day.

Only a boy can both enjoy and appreciate all of that.

Enjoy the day,Calvin 100% Teacher 40% Custodian Janitor maybe 10% Enjoy the strip Ratlum 125%

I wish I had that sort of spirit in my younger days! I’d have evaporated out of sheer embarassment… love u,Calvin =D

His classmates want him to wear them again tomorrow, too. While everyone is struggling with the snow pants, no school work gets done.

Snowpants are what I get if I shovel too much.

And then people wonder why in the world this 25 year old NEVER wears snow pants!!

If you got snowpants on, you’re running around in your underwear….

fran650: I have never posted under any name other than Hobbes. I’m sorry if you don’t enjoy having Hobbes on this site, but I’m writing for others who do. You have been a long-time contributor to this site, and I have appreciated some of your comments in the past. I also supported you when you lost your favorite pet, your dog Kizzy. Please allow for some flexibility with the wide variety of posters to this site. The fact that we are not all alike makes this group very enjoyable.

who would want to do that again?

HOBBES: If Calvin and his buddy Hobbes can’t figure out who the commenter “Hobbes” is, have them ask me. I’ll defend my position until my computer dies.

looks like calvin found a way to skip school without getting in trouble…

Mythreesons: I thought your computer was already dying. No luck yet with the avatars?

Hobbs, whoever you are….I really appreciate you and am glad you post your thoughts and observations.

I thought it would be really neat if you actually were Calvin’s buddy Hobbs…..but no, that would be asking too much.

Glad to have you here with us.

HOBBES: I think my son, a MAC whiz who lives 600 miles away, has put so many safety features on my computer that I can’t do some of the things others can. He said he would drive down sometime this spring and fix some stuff. I’ll probably put up one avatar and have it the rest of my life.

PS: He can control my computer with his in IL through iChat, but he is a new divorcee setting up a household,has a job that takes him out of town a lot, and has custody of three children when in town. I try not to bother him.

Only when a stuck zipper in your snow pants prevents you from becoming “Stupendous Man” is it aggravating. If it happens while in school and it makes you the center of attention, then it’s the greatest thing to happen ever!!!!!

:-)

What a child’s life is can never be replaced.

What a child’s life is can never be replaced.

its a cartoon, get a life.,

It probably made the day go by faster. Also by the time he got undone, there wasn’t much time for school work!

Ha–this is just SO Calvin …

Love it.

I remember he needed the custodian to get him out of his onion costume during the nutrition play.
