Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 27, 2021

It’s ancient high technology. It was used to improve tv and car radio reception.

Good one, Hobbes. A real zinger.

I guess Calvin would know what cavemen use. He acts like one himself.

Represents a civilization with hang ups. lol

It makes a better all in one tool than it does hanging clothes.

I don’t understand today’s joke. It’s left me hanging in the air.

Wire we getting all hung up over this, I think I’ll leave this in midair, off the hook so to speak……

It was an educational tool used by Joan Crawford.

It’s used to religiously hang up your clothes, Calvin.

I found a fossil once, and my dad told me it was very old. I asked “Is it more than a hundred years old?” He said it was, and after that, I told everybody I had a hundred year old rock.

Despite its appearance. it is not only organic, it is alive. If left in a dark closet, it will multiply. It is called, the “anti-sock” and is used to balance nature for the latter’s disappearance in the laundry.

it’s a spare car key

I would hesitate to tell him it’s commonly called a hanger. What do you imagine he would do with a “hanger”?

I thought gravity was the reason his clothes stayed on the floor. Make sure to pay your monthly gravity bill!

It’s a tool to open locked car doors.

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that that’s an ancient antenna that ancient cavemen used to communicate with the ancient extraterrestrial outer space ships.

Some comic strips as ALWAYS ON! What a pleasure to read and laugh at C & H first thing in the morning.

I haven’t seen a wire hanger in ages – everything’s plastic these days.

Calvin needs to get religion .

When I was a kid, it was one of the parts we used to make a slingshot…

I used to cut off the flat side, heat one end over the stove, and push it through the center of my candles to insert the wicks

cf Motel of the Mysteries by David Macaulay

Old time welding and brazing rod.

The precursor to the time Calvin made a fossil out of garbage.

One WISE Tiger!

Like you’ve seen those in your closet, Calvin.

Bow and arrow.

survey: why do you guys like calvin and hobbes? please reply to this comment with your answer. Thanks!

Poor Calvin, he just can’t quite get the hang of it.

It’’s off to show and tell!

I remember seeing what looked exactly like a child’s doll in a museum. The archaeologists had decided it must have a religious purpose because of where it was found and how well it was preserved. I suspect they were full of baloney.

It was used as a down-sized, concept model of the St. Louis Arch (look at the corners)

Amazing how C&H fits so well into the modern era.

ALL YOU PEOPLE MAKING JOKES ABOUT HANGERS BEING USED FOR ABORTIONS, OR SHOULD I SAY, MURDER OF AN INNOCENT BABY ARE SICK AND DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was visiting the site of a 1600’s plantation on the James River and noticed a shiny white object at the waters edge…“a colonial pipe stem”, I thought but it turned out to be the plastic tip from a contemporary cigar.
