    Thanks. Calvin’s evil scientist look in the last panel is awesome.

    I still would have liked to see him on Zits when they needed a sofa saw.

    @Avav:

    The camera was on timer when he ‘got it took’.

    LOL!

    Still, it would call for high-speed photography and precision timing… wonder if Hobbes is a tiger of some substance after all!

    POOF interj. Used to indicate a sudden vanishing.

    If possible, I would have vanished before Calvin sneezed, especially if “the camera was on timer…” I don’t want his germs (or anyone else’s) to be sprayed at me. Maybe Hobbes is immune.

    I wonder how much he spent on Polaroid film before he finally got a good one. That stuff was expensive!

    Yes, ZITS is a ‘funeral procession’ without Calvin.

    If Calvin’s school portrait looked like that one, he might be apprehended for ‘indecent exposure’, and suspended.

    @avav Hi all, A genuine question- Hobbes is Calvin’s imagination, both of Calvin’s hands are in the picture… then who took this pic?

    maybe the picture is imaginary as well

    nathan123: i agree with you. some people take these comics too literally. read them for what they are and enjoy them. i have some horrible kid school pics i wish were better or at least more creative.

    I think I speak for some of the others here when I say I now look back on some of my school pictures and say WHAT THE HECK WAS I THINKING! I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT HAIR STYLE WAS COOL?

    I have to admit though that looking at the photos of some of my class mates give me a good chuckle.

    I was told we all automatically close our eyes when sneezing to keep our eyeballs from popping out under the intense pressure. Can anybody disprove this?—I’m too chicken to try.

    I can attest that no matter how hard you try to keep your eyes open when you sneeze they close by reflex. That is why I hate sneezing when driving. Antihistamines are less of a hazard to my driving than the sneezes during allergy season.

    Calvin will probably want his drivers license to look like that too, I’m guessing.

    I spent a year with a huge teethy grin and my eyes closed saying at the same time, “Look see it’s me!”, so I could buy a beer and cigarettes in the mid-eighties. I was so busy at work that I couldn’t take the time out of my day to get back to the DMV to get it retaken!
