Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 14, 2011

Hobbes guessed correctly.

somebodyshort where have you been, haven’t seen you for a while.

“Smooch?” Is it UnPC to say kiss?

You will find out in due time, Calvin.

G’Morning, Grog, Mike & Marg.

thats one thing which made me smile since morning..thanks to both Calvin and Hobbes…for bringing some happiness to my life..

Oooooooooh!!!! This was soooooooooo funny; I couldn’t stop laughing.

Uh, Calvin, that’s closer to the After photo than the Before photo, if you’re old enough to get my drift.

Oh, and the simple and truthful answer to your question is “yes”.

**Good morning Marg! Good morning Fran! Good Morning L’Wolf! Good Morning Grog!**

Why do people kiss with their eyes closed??

@pouncingtiger: Smooch is more than kiss, it meens also hug, pet… all ways of showing love to another person in a bodily way.

Calvin..beauty is in the eye of the beholder…everything has some beauty to it.

Hobbes… you are a genius i say… genius

Hobbes said: ”I bet that’s why they close their eyes when they smooch”

So did me and Tink when were kids.

The nightlook of Mom is surely not attractive enough to bring ideas of reproduceing to life!

Right now the odds of Calvin surviving to reproductive age are NOT looking good…

I’ve never thought about that. Thanks for the thought, Hobbes, eh, Hobbes?

I don’t think I’ll show this to SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED.

Oh the wonders.. We all started unsure of that answer until we come of a certain age.

In the third panel, Mom is yelling so loud she’s blowing Calvin’s hair back. That is SOME mad!!!

You’ll find out, Calvin, your testosterone isn’t flowing yet.

What makes you think of these things at 3AM, Calvin? Back to sleep Mr. Mud.

Good morning, Marg, Mike & Lonewolf!

“Right now the odds of Calvin surviving to reproductive age are NOT looking good…”

Oh, he’ll survive, but it’s hard to imagine him getting any dates in the first place.

Hey twpsi, is that your real picture? if so, I’m sure Calvin will forget about the bugs and stuff.

Great comic - been reading them for years. Calvin can sure creat some great fantasies.

My wife may be the Little General but I always love those smooches.

Just answering some of the mail:

Smooch is such a Hobbs word.

The best and most creative thoughts arrive at 3 AM.

Susie will date him - but I imagine that relationship being like two scorpions in a bottle.

I’m glad my kids not like Calvin. My son would get bored and drew something got him in trouble.

I would have expected Calvin to find hairy bugs cute, attractive even. It’s GIRLS he’d find ugly!!

On Calvin’s part that’s deep. But on Hobbes part that’s challenger deep!

When he gets of age he will not think about this problem at all.

Love is when you see your spouse like this at 3:00 a.m. and see how he/she looked when your date started at 6:30 p.m.

Grog,

That’s SIR Mud, thank you.

The big questions always occur to you at 3 am!

good point, Hobbes! LOL

It’s his mother’s fault - she forgot to give Bi-polar Calvin his Melleril before he went to bed….

The pursuit of science has no limits, especially time of day.

They eyes are closed to enhance fantasizing about the one one would rather be kissing.

I think Calvin would rather osculate than smooch.

And in a few very short hours … this poor, exhausted Mom won’t be able to blast a tired, sleepy Calvin out of bed with a stick of dynamite in order to go to school!

Trying to get Dad to go to sleep at 3AM caused Calvin.

Hobbes, remember that Valentines Day comic? If you smooched Susie, would YOU close your eyes?

Well, it’s not like hairy bugs live in the same looks-obsessed world as humans.
