Lio by Mark Tatulli for January 05, 2020

that matches so well with today’s Calvin and Hobbs

What an excellent strip – very clever.

In honor of the 25th anniversary of the last Calvin & Hobbes strip. Well played.

To grunt and sweat under a weary life,

But that the dread of something after death,

The undiscovered country from whose bourn

No traveller returns….

The Tragedy of Hamlet Prince of Denmark, Act III, Scene I

I guess all those sightings on the backs of cars and mud flaps were false reports.

Hard to believe it’s been 24 years since Calvin and Hobbes folded.

Even has the correct colors for the hat and gloves…

I knew it.

I Keep a copy of the original Calvin and Hobbs to give to someone making a life change (retire, new job, leave, …)

“Local businesswoman Susie Derkins under investigation”

Look for Suzy.

Good grief!

Sooo sweet. Thank you.

Well done.

Rerun!!!

Wait, I thought Calvin was alive and living under the name “Frazz.”

clever… but not funny

No, no, no, no! This is even more heartbreaking than the final “Let’s go exploring!”.

Perfect tribute! Well-played, Sir, well-played.

Hmmm. love it but did not really need the thought bubble, would have made it more poignant.

Now we just need some snowgoon mourners around the body.

Oh no Hobbs is dead

Probably it was Moe instead of Susie—or perhaps a SMALL dinosaur?

Delightfully sick. Great strip today

Very touching!

The real ending (hats off to Mike!): http://www.ragingpencils.com/2010/4-9-2010.html

You are an evil, evil man Tatulli—and I dig that about you!

Hobbs is not a doll!! He is a Tiger!! :-)

Oh no! But I saw them today! Did Susie do them in with the snowman’s head?

Brilliant, Mark!

Oh dearie me! Such a grimoire this tale is! Lio has come upon the remains. Time to call in the author(ities), Lio….

Is this LIO a rerun? Even if not, ‘too soon’.

SOOOOOO SADD

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I miss Calvin and Hobbes

nononononononnnononnonono no!

so, after calvin said “lets go exploring!” in the last calvin and hobbes strip, he went so fast with his sleigh that he riped off all his skin when he crashed into a tree?
