Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 15, 2010

Indeed, Hobbes, indeed!

Hi, marg! I see you’re getting in early here, there and everywhere, comme d’habitude! :)

TAXI!

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠

Hi, Johanan and Grog. Johanan, so many comics, so little time!

Run little buddies run!

Good Morning, Mike, Marg, Fran & Grog!

Lord, you guys stay up late. What is this, the Before-Breakfast Club?

I’d have taken the bubbles… now hurry away

Morning all! I notice artybee that you too are up. You must be part of us.

Nothing wrong with a good comic before breakfast ;)

Good morning Marg! Good morning Fran and Kizzzy! Good Morning L’Wolf! Good Morning Grog! RUN CALVIN RUN!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn’t this the one where he is actually arrested?

Soon Calvin will be an outlaw.

Mom didn’t know she birthed a living disaster. :-))

I have decided to expand my search. I collect zip codes,and I am doing it here on gocomics. Want to see how many states I can get?

I.ve gotten 15 so far over at Brenda Starr. And I see three of them here today/tonight.

Reminds me of me. Slim Check “Arlo and Janis”.

Hope you remembered to pack some tuna.

Comic AFTER breakfast!

Not early in Japan at all…

Wonder .. why if at all Calvin was so afraid of his mom .. never stopped being naughty .. :-O ..

run calvin,run.

And they’re off…..

Well at least he packed some sandwiches - some kids wouldn’t even think about it.

No freight trains on your street Calvin. Only ditches waiting to trap errant cars. .

yeah behome09 when i ran away i forgot to take ANYTHING(but my clothes).

Calvin, you just narrowly escaped killing yourself with the family car, and now you want to mess with freight trains?

Hobbes knows that the tough decisions require delicate consideration and cannot be rushed…

Andy, I would have taken the yo-yo, it would have lasted longer. That is as long as the string didn’t break.

“Freight train, freight train, going so fast Freight train, freight train, going so fast Please don’t tell what train I’m on So they won’t know where I’ve gone”

’ morning Mike and Loki.

Hello Lonewolf. Really love your Birdbrain comic.. must look them up. Thanks.

ShritailSlim- recently moved from 29907 to 32803

Puddlegum - one of my favorite oldies.

Maybe C&H shouldn’t take the freight train. Those big toughies may try to take their bubbles and yo-yo. Or, maybe that is the place to trade for a harmonica and some lessons in mournful tunes.

Riding on the City of Milwaukee… …Illinois Central, monday morning rail…

Spammerflaggen!

Calvin said, “It’s curtains”, because he is responsible, being irresponsible, for the car being ‘draped’ over the ravine. When Calvin is caught, he will get the ‘rod’ of discipline.

I would have taken both.

Also, it’s been theorized that they live in Ohio, but never confirmed. If they do, they’ll never make it to Canada or Mexico.

Hobbes, you’re already taking Calvin with you; you don’t need another yoyo. “I’ve got the world on a string.” NOT! “You may not be an angel cause angels are so few But until the day that one comes along I’ll string along with you.”

Maybe Spaceman Spiff will come to the rescue, and C & H will wake up from a terrible dream???

To repeat: Run Calvin Run, Faster!

fran650, The Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group version of “Freight Train” with Nancy Whiskey on the vocal (1957) was a favorite of mine, (too). It’s available on Youtube.

Spiffs in another galaxie now, But if you’d care to leave a message….

I think this is more of a job for STUPENDOUSMAN.

65698 home 65711 work zips, Slim. Catch an empty coal train in either of these zips and go to 82001 and points north. Catch a full coal train and go to Virginia.

You THINK mom was getting suspicious?

Where is a freight train when you need one? Oh how many times when I was a youth did that come to my thoughts.

There are people who still read Brenda Starr?

bleeep, I didn’t mean that the way it sound, what I meant was I didn’t know it was still being published. I remember it from when I was a kid so I thought…

You know what? I’ll just stop now, okay?

Yukoneric………fran650

Thank you, very much. Goy your number! :-))

I used to know all about hopping frieghts when I was young. Got started before they went to diesel emgines.When I was17, I rode them all tha way from Colton, California to Meridian Mississippi. Great fun back in the late 40s!

“…for the car being ‘draped’ over the ravine.”

That brings to mind an image similar to Dali’s melted clocks.

Are you saying that Calvin had better plan to become a Venetian? That his parents might string him up when they catch him? Love may be blind, but parents usually are not, so Calvin better not shade the truth.

i miss c and h whatever happened to bill

If you’ve got your best friend in the whole world with you, then what more could you possibly need?

The poor child is too young to be running away from home! ~Legs are too short.

definitely the yo-yo!

Why was he moving the car again? Got caught up in the wreck and can’t remember what started it?

runaway train on a one way track…

SLIM: I live in 73703, church and shopping in 73701, and the post office is 73702. That will fill in three blanks in one city of 45,000.

Slim I am in 76137. How many do you have now?

I would have taken the yo-yo. Go Calvin….run faster….

Shirtail Slim is my new hero!

“First thing I remember knowin’ was a lonesome whistle blowin’ and a younggun’s dream of growin’ up to ride… on a freight train leavin’ town, not knowin’ where I’m bound, and no one could steer me right but momma beat my butt when she found I put her can in a ditch!” SANG it Calvin!

RUN CALVIN, RUN!!!!!

Gretchen’s Mom, You are absolutely right.

I don’t recomend hitching a ride on a freight train because you can starve to death on it.

hobbes sure is his buddy ps he shouldnt run away hes to young

I’d have to say the bubbles for me. I was never very good at the yo-yo. I’m always looking now when I go to the store for another different kind of manual bubble blower to bring home for my 3 1/2 granddaughter to try out. This year and the last its become almost a nightly event. There’s plenty of giggles to go around especially that there’s enough sets for everyone now.

Mythreesons:

I’ve got all three numbers down but,it’s the live-in ones I”m after. Seeing how many states I can get. Don/t hold out much hope on Hawai’i. And Thank You.

Is this “New Hero” because of my frieght-train riding, or the poetry over on Brenda Starr?

Is that you playing the suitar? I do that a bit myself.

The car is trashed and the kid is missing - Calvin’s mother is going to need medical attention pronto…

@Shirtail Slim–45107 here.

I thought that Hobbes would have a swimsuit magazine.

You can run but you can’t hide! Mom will find you Calvin.

33543 is the zip here, Calvin’s one of my favorites along with Hobbes of course.

55929, exit #229, yo-yo all the way

still, hilarious…this was my day of birth.
