Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 28, 2023

Calvin would probably have to spend some time in purgatory, but he’s too young to be sent to the other place.

Looks like the bicycle is against your ideas, Calvin.

Bicycles are a nasty hazard in traffic as well

Calvin’s imagining of the bicycle as an evil, living thing is right up his alley. He’s never been very coordinated. I was never very good at riding a bike, so I understand.

lol i love how this bike hunts calvin

Isn’t that bicycle trying to ride him?

Ouch! Hobbes’s tongue is as sharp as mine’s (at least is what my wife says)

Don’t worry Calvin, you’ll learn how to ride that bike. The benefit is that every time you fall it (all together now) BUILDS CHARACTER! ;D

He’s got a snowballs chance in Hell of getting to Heaven.

Love it, Hobbes…..

Sometimes first strike is good policy, The Bike knows how Calvin is with his Toys !

Every child has fears. After all the years, I can’t remember anything specific but thinking of Mom’s good right hand and a fat left ear come to mine.

Oh yes, Calvin goes to heaven, to be good is very hard work for him that will justify his coming into heaven!

Calvin remains confident that he will go to Heaven although he has considered that he will spend time in Purgatory first. In one strip, he wondered whether there were tigers in Heaven and said that if there aren’t any there he wouldn’t be happy. He then considered, “Maybe tigers don’t eat people in Heaven?” Hobbes rubbed his own tummy and replied, “But then we wouldn’t be happy!” Despite this claim, Hobbes clearly prefers eating fish to eating meat.

Lots and lots of time.

Heaven can wait.

Right you are, Hobbes! Johnny? Tell Hobbes what he’s won.

Is the bike’s name Christine? (dot) com/title/tt0085333/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_6_tt_2_nm_6_q_Christine

When I was a kid, I went all over town on my bike

I suspect that, perhaps, god chose Calvins “bicycle” as a teaching tool.

No Heaven for Calvin ? Oh Hell

Classic.

you’d be surprised. :J

When he’s older, he will probably buy a 1958 Plymouth Fury and name it Christine.

I LOL’d!!!

A true friend tells it like it is.

Watterson has officially confirmed that the character is named after John Calvin, so it’s really not up to him whether he goes to Heaven or not.

Or, Calvin, you can go to jail.

Makes one have second thoughts about a self-driving vehicle, doesn’t it. How long before there is a major hacking incident?

Um; Stay with the wagon Calvin! Lot more fun “crashing” along with Hobbes.

calvin is evil and going to Hell!

Ohhhh no Calvin, you’re in a movie….Christine Recycled!!!

Christ on a bike.

Just like Charlie Brown and the balloon/tree.

Hobbes’s assessment is spot on. Besides, Calvin couldn’t do anything he likes in Heaven, anyways! ;-p

It was a somewhat popular “theory” that Frazz is a grown-up Calvin. If so, he sure got over his problem with bicycles. Maybe it was just that one.

i wonder if the other place would have him

LOL… Hobbes knows Calvin WAY to well …

Bike ride to heaven for Calvin? I think that would be rated hors catégorie.

I concur, Hobbes. But maybe he’ll mature.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
