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.
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.
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!

Calvin & Hobbes are always good for laughs. I sure did miss coming here. But I’m back now.

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.

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

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

I wonder how much he spent on Polaroid film before he finally got a good one. That stuff was expensive!
zero about 15 years ago
Oddly, all my school pics looked like that!
Puddleglum2 about 15 years ago
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 about 15 years ago

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