Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 18, 2011

Conflagration!

OH NO!

sports car drives past ’em all !!

Not a good constellation!

I thought Calvin was going to cement his relationship with Hobbes. (After yesterday’s comic)

Sooooooo…..What DO you get when your cross a sports car, a cement truck and an inflammable chemical truck?A sports car with FLAMES!!!!

If it’s Bandit 1 he’ll be Eastbound and Down.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike and ♠Lonewolf♠!

The plot thickens…☺

He at least doesn’t get his thrills watching it on a big screen tv like the rest of us.

@bmonk: I did see the comments you posted yesterday. :-)

Me and my friend (or is it my friend and I) would have hours of fun doing this. Never gets old.

Where’s Calvin’s yellow can of lighter fluid. Flick your Bic?

Is it just me or this are old calvin-and-hobbes comic strips?

Time to call in Lio’s water-squirting fire truck!!!

Calvin you like excitment.

Oh don’t be such a stick in the mud!!!

It is not a “cement” truck, it is a concrete truck. Cement is an ingredient in concrete, unless Calvin was talking about a truck carrying that ingredient to the concrete plant. You walk and drive on concrete, not cement.

…what, no train cars filled with radioactive nuclear sludge?…

ca-blewy

can anyone tell me why cant see the comic anymoreits just showing me a little orange box next to C&Hand im really angry cuz i have to use this website for a school project aand if i cant see it i cant do my school project

Calvin you have a combustible mind.

Because this “in-” is different—it’s from the Latin “in” meaning in or on. So an inflammable item is one that can have flame on it.I love how Calvin is master of the build-up.

Throw in a Mercedes and see if it Benz……

Fire In The Hole!

Put in a Mercedes Calvin, and see if it Benz…

Hobbes said,“I had to put in that last sentence so that Puddleglum2 wouldn’t whack me with a baseball bat (metaphorically speaking).”I suppose that if you were the opposite sex, I might hit on you (metaphorically speaking).

In this case, “good” is in the eye of the beholder, Calvin!

Have you preordained it to come to pass, Calvin?You certainly have orchestrated it!

Put a Mercedes in Calvin and see if it Benz..

This was the very first C&H strip I ever saw. This was before it was careered in my local paper, but someone had used the comics page of another newspaper as packing material, and there it was. Like Calvin, I thought “This ought to be good.” And I was right.

Oh, it’s ok again, it worked, Im in Calvin and Hobbes, my day is perfect again!!!

They jumped back a year or two, the ones in reruns do that.It’s like the Lucy show.

A typical scene in a Michael Bay movie.

Ha ha, KA BOOM

Reminds me of the time a friend and I wanted a more realistic battle scene. Took an old Lionel type train and set it up in the sand pit (oversized sand box) and loaded it with those little plastic army men. Add to this a bit of gasoline (@ 35cents/gal) spritzed over the train, a trail of gas leading up to the battle site (safety first!), and a single match (left below the child safety zone apparently). Was a great battle – until his mom came out to investigate the smoke. Guess there’s a little Calvin in all of us boys. :-)

Back to the comic strip Calvin give this a little thought this might not be so much fun,but I think real big crash is coming and that might be fun

Also out of nowhere, a fully loaded 747 is hurdling into the fray from above…..

to waylingaw: A new Calvin and Hobbes cartoon hasn’t been drawn in over 25 years years…Yes, these are re-runs.

Sounds like a FOX special.

Which one has the Tiger in the Tank?

waylingaw, these are earlier strips—not quite from the beginning.

waylingaw, they got to the point where Watterson went on sabbatical, so they started back with the very early strips.

Once upon a time, if you had a “Tiger in your Tank”, you ruled the road . . . according to the advertising of the day. I anticipated a comment or two – but it seems my peers are asleep at the alarm clock . . . nothing more important than being right there with a monosyllable or hastily conceived sentence at 1 or 2 A.M., I suppose . . .If you’re not familiar with the reference, it googles just fine. Seemed funny to me . . .

Doesn’t he mean “flammable”? Inflammable means incapable of being set on fire, right?

Perfect storm.

If the truck was filled with oil and the car had a book of matches…well, you can imagine. ;)

such an imaginative kidd…

When I was little, I came up to my Mom and asked why on Earth it would be bad if INflammable chemicals got out of control. Such a confusing prefix.
