Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 21, 2011

Mom’s are like that…

There are better ways for Mom to spend the family’s resources …

Oh. Yeah. Good Morning Marg.

What’s better than whirling knives and a nice blood blend. Kind of like an attack by a Siberian tiger.

No permission for murder movies! In our town a woman killed her husband and her lover, sawed them in pieces, put them into buckets and filled the buckets with the dead men inside with cement and hided all in her cellar.

Tere was a 2003 FoxTrot (not FoxTrot Classics) where Roger thought M on video games meant ‘mild’. If Calvin was alive, he would have wished that Mom thought ‘R’ is for… help here!

Don’t remember what ‘R’ in the movies means. When automatic trans first came out for cars the rumor was that ‘D’ was for ‘Drive’ and ‘R’ was for ‘Race’.

Mine was “The Creature From The Black Lagoon”, followed by “The Thing”. Ahhh, those were the days…..

Yes Mom not really Irrelevant Tangents… of course C&H Mon don’t want …. go to there …^_^

Maybe he’d wish Mom thought “R” was “Recommended” or “Required Viewing”?

@Woody157The “R” movie rating means “Restricted” to age 17 and up.

I thought R stood for “racy” as in, put on your fake moustache and talk in a deep voice.

I never wanted to see movies like that when I was 6. The Watching Wizard of Oz was scary enough as it was.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠

Dogsniff: I don’t think, she conquered!

Yesterday Calvin closed by saying, “…i don’t understand math at all.” Today he’s quite familiar with “irrelevant tangents.”I think Calvin is hyperbolizing in both cases.

Even if she let him earn the money, she wouldn’t let him see the movie.

That’s an exceedingly mild reaction, considering. But then, so were both parents’ reactions to a lot of Calvin’s psychoses.

I guess so long as Calvin didn’t make a mess of the house or the yard or destroy the car, his thinking could be as perverse as he pleased. Maybe he actually deserved Moe.(one’s mind can take on a stark clarity between an all-nighter and one’s first cup of morning CocoMocha)

Mom knows that if Calvin watches the movie in the afternoon, she’s the one who will be up all night consoling Calvin from his nightmares. I also miss Hobbes.

<< gmartin997 said: “What has happened to Hobbes?” >>Hi gmartin997I’ve been busy on a new project and I haven’t been commenting here much lately. Also, the early Calvin and Hobbes strips don’t inspire a lot of in-depth discussion. But I still keep up on the daily strips and the comments.

@fmasroor “Respectable”?

“Tangent” is also a math word, with two meanings. That’s twice in two days with the math! wtg Calvin!

“Cuisinart murderer”? Sounds like the Mom in Gremlins — she made good use of a blender!

It’s for your own good.

Mom seen the movie.

Why would Calvin want to see “The Cuisinart Murderer of Central High”? Isn’t it a film about a bunch of girls in Home Economics Class?

Learned at an early age not to be afraid of the dark by having to walk five miles home in the dark down a lonely country road after seeing the midnight horror movie in town. The hair on the back of my neck stood on end all the way.

“First Man into Space” (1959) scared me.

Mom thinks the book is better, Calvin. Ask to read her copy after she finishes with it.

How old is Calvin?

He only looks about 6.. His mother is in her right mind by asking him to do something else.

@Destiny23,That’s food for thought. You processed it well.

BTW, with regard to your question, “Does God have a beard?”.“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. – John 4:24 God is omnipresent.However, God may appear at any time and place, and in any form. Also, when he became human as the Lord Jesus Christ, he had a beard.“I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.Isaiah 50:6

Hi Hobbes! Good to see (read read) you. Miss your commentary. Best wishes for your new project.

Those old, cheesy Japanese Godzilla movies from the 1950’s were the lip movements never synched with the words they were saying were scary enough for me when I was a kid!

Calvin’s artistic development is trampled on yet again…

One of Emeril Lagasse’s early works.

Gretchens Mom: I don’t know exactly, they try to find that out! It’s horrible and she is pregnant with a baby!!

That sounds like John Carpenter’s Halloween.

And now for something irrelevant:Perverse Rule No.67. Never go off on tangents, which are lines that intersect a curve at only one point and were discovered by Euclid, who did his work in the sixth century, which was an era dominated by the Scyths, who lived in what we now know as the Ukraine, but later the Goths lived there, who invaded the Roman Empire and plundered Rome, which is a very nice city to visit with many churches full of art like the Pieta, which was carved by Michaelangelo, whose name means “Michael the Angel”, who is actually not an artist but an archangel with a feast day on September 29, which is a good day to have a picnic with your girlfriend—who wishes you would just avoid tangents and stick to the point.

And a bonus:No.56 “Avoid ‘overuse’ of ‘quotation “marks.” ’ ”

Could someone remind me how to make those cute hearts, diamonds, smiley faces, etc.? A few months ago I wrote an explanation to help other people, but I must remember it wrong, because now it doesn’t work for me.

THE THING thats a scary title was many years ago still is I bet Mom would not let Calvin see that,sleepless nights you know.

Hobbes! I’ve been wondering about you for days! Missed you!

@bmonk,That was ‘historical’! You may quote me on that!

my favorite part is how happy he looks when he tells her what it’s about.

♥♪ This Is A Test ♥♪☺♠♣

moms can be pretty annoying.
