Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 08, 2021

Maybe Calvin would have ad the energy to throw the snowball farther if he had eaten his oatmeal.

The earth is not here to hold your hand, Calvin.

No power without eating?

Poor Calvin. He will never be a quarterback.

The only good oatmeal is mixed with raisins in cookies.

Hobbes in the third panel though…. :)

I can only imagine how pleased mom was that he spilled his oatmeal down the heater. Unless she doesn’t know, yet.

Yeah, Einstein’s theory predicts this under certain circumstances, just to protect unwary passerby from your snowballs.

That’s really lame, Calvin.

Bad Day Calvin ?

Just as well that Susie didn’t notice, Calvin doesn’t realize the gravity of the situation…

Our conceptions of ourselves often differ from objective reality.

Calvin should take that as a sign to go back inside the house.

Blame it on the Climate Change.His White Privilege failed him this time…

Gravity, though described as a “weak” force, almost always wins.

Gravity and wind are the two biggest jerks in the whole universe.

Oh thank goodness. I thought that was a hairball you hacked into the heater vent.

Yaaa? How about Naaah?

Heater? Must be an east coast (?) moniker for register, or heat register. At least that’s a term which some of my NY, NJ bred classmates used when I was in college.

Poor, Calvin. I’m not sure if he can play any throwing games… Until he eats his darn oatmeal.

Hey Calvin, warn a guy about the gravity! I weighed myself this morning and nearly had a seizure!

Ah, so that’s why my bathroom scale has been so obviously wrong the last few weeks(since Christmas really). Gravity has been unusually strong. Of course. “science”

Suck it up Calvin. You better be glad you didn’t hit Suzy.

gravity didnt want you to get in trouble

In the bad old days, we would have said he suddenly started throwing like a girl. Today, we would say his survival instinct kicked in. :)

Q’s been messing with the gravitational constant again

A Vonnegut reference!

go to febuary 11 1991

Must be a New Moon. Gravity from Earth, moon, and sun all pulling in the same direction.

Can’t blame gravity for everything, Calvin..

Maybe Susie’s gravity is more stronger to bend the path of matter thrown at her. I expect to see a bounder coming from that side anytime.

the poor heater unlike Calven it didn’t have a choice in eating the oatmeal it just got stuffed down its throat!

During the last decade I had the same feeling.
