Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 21, 2021

Calvin taking acting tips from Travis Bickle.

Who, me?

yes you, Calvin, who took the cookies from the cookie jar (or whapped Susie in the head with a snowball)

It would seem Calvin needs to learn what a rhetorical question is.

Practice may make perfect, but perfect and Calvin don’t seem to match.

I’m hearing this in Frank Sinatra’s voice: Who me who me who?

Give it up, ‘Calvin’, ‘Suzie’ knows you TOO well ! ! !!

I’m sure next time she will not ask.

Americans have a way of learning the wrong lesson…

Whom, I? might have had more effect.

“Not me.”

You talkin’ to me?

Calvin is lousy at faking sincerity.

You definitely need to practice your delivery, Cal. She ain’t buying your shtick.

“Sweetheart, me?” that might’ve saved him. I said might…

Calvin’s mistake was that he was the only one within range.

Calvin’s version of self improvement.

Maybe you should try ‘Throw what?’

Who me? Would I do that to you? *Same result*

He needs much more practice. :D

It’s not a lie if you answer in the form of a question.

He gave me a name.

Calvin is practicing for a career in politics!

couldn’t be Calvin. he actually hit the target and we know Calvin isn’t that accurate.

It’s going to take many many hours of practicing to get better at that, Calvin!

Too late. He has a reputation.

I’m thinking Calvin needs less diction practice and a little more practice retreating, at speed.

Hmmmmm !!!! Sounds like Steve erkel, did I do that!!!

Such a perfect delivery, Calvin should have taken credit for it.

He’s like the psychopath who has to practice expressing grief in front of a mirror.

Denying responsibility. This is what Calvin is willing to practice.

There was a Sunday strip where Calvin thought that Hobbes had thrown a snowball at him – as Hobbes is often shown doing – but the final twist was that it had been thrown by Susie.

Like Elvis Presley said, “Girls, girls, girls.” Sheesh!

I think this is the clown that wrote a letter to the the Patriot News. If it is, he actually referenced how the zebras talk……

He should have blamed Hobbs.

Girl Power!

It’s hard to act innocent when you’re the only one capable of doing something.

Keep at it, Cal. Someday, it might work.

Nobody how much he practices, it’s not going to work unless he can become invisible.

“Moi?”

She knows all your tells.

It’s all in the delivery.

Next time run!

(singing) Someone threw a slush ball at Susie Gherkins head… – Who Me? Yes You! Couldn’t be!

Is Calvin practicing for something?

Calvin, what is wrong with you?

You never answered the question, Calvin.

I honestly would’ve believed the first one :/

If Watterson doesn’t want to pick up where he left off, he should start with Calvin and Susie (now known as Cal and Sue, being grownups and all), being married, with a little Calvin, Hobbes, and Susie of their own. After driving his own parents crazy, he deserves it.

“You Talking to Me?”

Perfect delivery from Calvin – both the snowball and the line. That said, Suzie gave Calvin a perfect delivery herself.

Think, McFly! If you are the only one around, your delivery is irrelevant.

It wasn’t me it was Hobbes

You have to practice your game face.

Calvin- Who me? Susie- Yes you!Calvin- Couldn’t be!Susie- I saw you!
