Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 23, 2011

hooray…i am the first to comment and this is my first time being first in here…=D lol..guess calvin will be as surprised as me later on..something huge and unexpected is coming your way calvin..RuuuuuNNNN

Like bringing a cannon to a snow ball fight!

Is it not the wrong season, isn’t it??

INCOMING!!!!!!

Hobbes may need Susie’s help to catapult that giant snowball. (Since Hobbes’ liveliness is imaginary.) Also, Susie would launch it in a heartbeat.

anyway, calvin has more snowballs than hobbes.. calvin wins!! :D

This is Houston. The launch is delayed.

Wow…..Hobbes put together that GIANT snowball……and he’s not even wearing gloves!!!

Why make many when one big snowball will do!

snowball WMD

Wow this strip gives me flashbacks of the bad winter we just had a few months back…

Looks like Hobbes has come up with a snow bomb.

It won’t happen this way, but in reality, Hobbes’ snowball is too big for that catapult. At most, it would go far enough to land on his own head

Hobbes inserted his special ‘claws’ into the contract! Did you read the fine print, Calvin?

I can’t believe you are bringing physics into this discussion. The character is a talking stuffed animal. I think bending the rules of physics should be permitted..

No way I’d mess with Hobbes. He makes a much better buddy than an adversary. True for anyone I guess, but ’specially Hobbes.

@cdward,Unfortunately for Hobbes, the whole neighborhood thinks that he is only a stuffed tiger. Hobbes has less leverage with them than he has with the catapult.“Plaster” might work better than snowballs for Calvin, since he is such a lousy shot.

@gmartin997,“Believe me, it’s an overrated experience.”I’m sorry to hear that …oh, you mean posting the first comment.

Whats the big deal about being first? Getting up so early or staying up so late doesn’t say much for me.Of course , if this is your biggie for the day????

“You may fire when you are ready, Gridley”, er, Calvin. Don’t wait until you see the whites of Hobbes’ eyes! That probably would be too late.

Sometimes, one of a kind beats seven of a kind!

hooray i’m the next one to comment with absolutely nothing to say!

Extreme effects of global warming in Calvin’s neighborhood. Some people say the summers will be warmer near the equator, but winters will be more extreme near the poles.

Easier done than trying to post the last one!! That got downright funny.

Gnasher Slasher …. Congratulations on being first today.

I don’t know why gmartin997, Muzition, and dimeadance have taken the time to make a rude comment but didn’t take the time to learn that you are in Singapore where it is noon while it is midnight on the east coast of the US.

I see you chose Gnasher for part of your ID. You must be a fan of Dennis The Menace’s dog.

Per Wunderground.com, it’s 20 degrees Fahrenheit and snowing at Palmer Station, Antarctica.

INCOMING!!!!!

dahawk and gmartin: I got in on that "Be the last to post

@dahawk and gmartin997= I was in on that “last one to post” string a few months ago, and it was funny. Lasted a couple of days until we all just simply had nothing more to say.

’

So you wanna play .. I Iike it too C&H

Aim and fire!

Come on Calvin and Hobbes, put on your trunks, fetch the pool and the hose, it is summer!

Calvin and his friend Hobbes would love to live in our place ,for July 1st our ski hill will open the lifts and all for 3 days. First time in history.

Alain Harper: There are some skiable mountains in Australia too. Anglophone East Africa has snow-capped mountains, but hardly suitable for skiing.

Where do you live, ratlum?

Van isl BC Canada

Betcha the big snowball lands on the house with the usual results – maybe Calvin should adopt a new character: “Mr. Destructo”. It would certainly be easy enough for him to do.

The last panel reminds me of those old Roadrunner/Coyote cartoons when I was a kid. Only instead of it being a giant snowball, it was a big boulder coming right down on top of the coyote’s head. Will the same thing happen to Hobbes??? Well, at least if it does, snow will be a whole lot “softer” than a big, heavy rock!

There’s snow in JUNE?!

………post?

Are we starting that again?

No, we’re ending it again.

Good! I wouldn’t want to have to check this strip 3 weeks from now to see who won.

Or longer.

I thought Dennis the Menace’s dog was named Ruff.

Am I last yet? LOL

There were two different strips called “Dennis the Menace” — one in the US, and one in the UK. The US version had a dog named Ruff, and the UK version had a dog named Gnasher.The US Dennis and Ruff don’t look anything like the UK Dennis and Gnasher.

poft poft BOOOOOM

classic Hobbes, goes all out, guns blazing. Go Hard or Go Home.

^ I think that’s the “jumping on the diving board” sound, followed by LIFTOFF!
