Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 14, 2023

Calvin should bean Hobbes the next time he’s up.

Calvin, take my advice: You’re not a dog. You don’t need to be chasing balls…

o m g the artwork is phenomenal!!

Calvinball?

The drawing is fantastic. Calvin bursting into flames in the first panel on the bottom row. Perfection.

There will come a day when you might to get him checked

For a tiger, he’d do wonderfully for Detroit’s baseball team… not to mention their hapless football team. Believe me, as an Orioles fan, my team has also been in the cellar too many times in the past years!

Hobbes, this is how the hare lost the race with the tortoise.

Surprising that Calvin doesn’t need stitches, too.

Watterson is such a genius (even if he quit doing these). Inchy squinchy! LOL! He had to have totally enjoyed making this one.

Hobbes knows how to wind Calvin up.

Do the Walk of Life!!

Hear it?!

Well-earned rewards.

Baseball? I thought it was Calvinball when I first started reading it.

Nope! It’s just Calvin Baiting………

I love everything about this cartoon.

Hobbes wouldn’t get away with that today with the new rules to speed up the game.

One of the best ever. Pulls one right into the games.

Good yuks this A.M. Thanks Bill.

LOVE IT!❤️ ☺️☺️☺️

Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes

You know I think it’s time to give this game a ride

Just to hit the ball and touch ’em all

A moment in the sun

It’s-a gone and you can tell that one goodbye

Written by John Fogerty

I have a long held belief that, in a lot of cases, both guys in the fight earned their az kicking. However, I also know that the more often than not, the guy that turns around and punches the guy that just stabbed him in the back is the guy that will get caught and go to jail.

Is hobbes going to be there for the wedding night also?

I remember doing stuff like this when I was a kid. Whether it was stickball or kickball.

LOL… Gotta love a Hobbes ! What a perfect alter-ego and ID for Calvin.

It’s been established that he’s 6 and doesn’t actually know the game’s rules, but there was no point in rushing because Hobbes automatically got the point when the ball went past the fence, running the bases is ceremonial at that point.

wait! what shoe is untied!?!?!?!

Inchy-squincy, inchy-squinchy

Inchy squinchy. Never heard that one before, but I am amused by it.

LOL!

“Inchy-squinchy! Inchy-squinchy!” LMAO

You do enjoy toying with Calvin, don’t you, Hobbes?

Even at mach speed, Calvin can’t catch him

Love this one. I picture the eighth panel having the sound of Calvin’s footsteps rapidly beating as he runs, the tenth panel having a race car driving sound effect, and the twelfth and thirteenth panels with Calvin sounding like a prop airplane diving.

What? Not Calvinball?!?

The home run trot is one of the things I could do without.

My, what a fun game of baseball

Calvin was running at 90% of the speed of light.

The more I kept reading this one, the more I liked (and like) it. Inchy-squinchy is my favorite part! (Along with Calvin turning into fire that panel … )
