Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 30, 2011

Uh-oh!

NOT SUSIE!

Betcha Hobbes invites Susie to join his club…

Enemy appears!

Will they join together against a common enemy….or will Hobbes give Suzie a lifetime membership to C.A.D?

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠

Quick! Calvin! Fire a water balloon!!! A BIG ONE!!

Is Calvin talking to himself? Is Susie stumbling upon Calvin talking to himself?

Stay tuned to the same Calvin channel, Stay tuned to the same Calvin time………..

I do believe a lifetime membership is in order, Grog!

G’Morning, Grog, Mike & Marg!

Ha..ha..Calvin is now in Rut… wanna see how He get out of this..

Susie is the common enemy to unite the warring partners! And I really think Suzie has a crush on Calvin. And Calvin has his secret crush on Suzie!

I highly doubt that Susie “stumbled” on Calvin’s treefort purely by accident. She is up to something!

If only Calvin knew how to lie.

As today’s strip begins, things have taken a violent turn.

Clubs and violence are often closely linked. Here are two additional examples in the comics:

February 23, 1971

December 4, 2010

(Note: Click on the “back” arrow after viewing each one – don’t close the window.)

Panel 3 is evidence of what I’ve said all along. Hobbes is a figment of Calvin’s imagination and Calvin supplies both the thoughts and speeches for the tiger.

This turn of events will unite them into common cause again.

Susie!!!

Maybe Calvin is a figment of Hobbes imagination.

I don’t know if this is funny but for Calvin arguing with his imagination.

“Hey, Calvin! At whom are you yelling up there?” This is an emendation from the Grammar Rescission Ousts Susie Society!

BTW, who is Yikes?

I originally thought so too but it doesn’t explain how Hobbs can tell things to Calvin that Calvin doesn’t already know

the enemy of my enemy is my friend.. although not sure susie is hobbes enemy

Susie likes Hobbes, but she can’t stand Calvin… for now.

I don’t see that about panel three. I still think there are two complementary views of the world: Calvin’s and everybody else’s–and the two are never definitively separated, nor is one shown to be wrong.

Hobbes is imaginary? You guys have such an imagination….

Susie on the scene. Are Calvin and Hobbes ready for the voice of reason?

My imaginary alter ego tells me things I don’t know all the time… and he’s definitely Hobbes to my Calvin…

Hobbes (the Poster), I’m thinking a lot of our real-life peers need to talk to some of Calvin’s real-life peers, the ENFPs of the world. This is how a lot of us ENFPs live. :))

I noticed that in the fourth panel, hobbes is not a doll, because Susie does not see him

I believe in Hobbes. You should too.

Imaginary friends are only real to the person imagining them. Unless, perhaps, they exist in another dimension that is only perceptible to “special” people. (I don’t believe the latter scenario.)

I knew a horse owner who was on permanent disability. Turns out that one day he went “crazy” and couldn’t work effectively. His affliction was that he claimed he could “Talk to God”. And I mean “Talk” as in real two-way conversations.

One day, I heard voices coming from his horse’s stall, and quietly stepped into the empty stall next to him. He proceeded to carry on a heated argument with God (I assume), but I could only hear his side of the conversation.

Then I carefully stepped out of the stall, and noisily pretended to approach the stall. All “conversation” ceased, and he spoke to me as if nothing had been going on.

It was very strange to witness.

The farm manager said that the owner confided in him one day saying that, “God spoke to him through his horse”.

This scenario sounds almost identical to the scene we see played out over and over in this strip. Calvin’s insights from Hobbes is either coming from his alter-ego, or Calvin is perceiving things we normal people cannot.

So, is Calvin’s buddy, Hobbes real? He is to Calvin.

Did the horse owner really converse with God? Doubtful, since he claimed that God (through his horse) promised him 3 million dollars, which he was still waiting for. :-/

Time to reunite buddys, lets get rid of the slimy girl first!

Finest strip on earth. I’m just sorry GoComics arbritrarily chose to include “Jim’s Journal” with my daily C&H.

Pairing that mediocre strip with C&H is like putting ketchup on filet mignon!

My goodness Hobbes, what kind of filing system do you have to come up with these relevent strips so quickly. Very impressive.

Harvey was real to Elwood P Dowd …

By the end of the play he became real to several other characters, as well.

Hobbes is real to all those who have the imagination to believe.

Lay down the weapons!

Hobbes, thanks for the links, they were very apropos.

Centaur, Brooke stopped the comments from appearing as he didn’t like them and couldn’t handle any discussion of his strips. He did the same thing with 9 Chickweed Lane. Check out the blog spot on this site, it should explain it.

Just like Peter Pan, I believe…… (clap, clap, clap.)

Grog said: Will they join together against a common enemy….or will Hobbes give Suzie a lifetime membership to C.A.D?

A lifetime membership to C.A.D. will probably also get Hobbes a lifetime supply of smooches from Susie too!

;-)

A FRANCES THE TALKING MULE movie was recently aired with a situation similar to that which Mr. Ed related.

Susie hears Calvin talking but does not hears Hobbes ??

Lin 4869, do you remember the title of the Francis the Talking Mule movie? I’ve got that set on DVD as well as the Mister Ed series. In those movies, Francis (with an “i”) always eventually talked to other people.

In the Mister Ed episodes, Wilbur’s neighbor, Roger actually witnessed Mister Ed speaking to Wilbur. Wilbur finally managed to convince him it was ventriloquism.

Oh, Susie… WHY ARE U ALWAYS AT THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME!!!!
