Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 03, 2023

Steak sauce would be better than gravy.

Hobbes just cannot wait for Thanksgiving. I totally understand how he feels.

Calvin, with gravy…..yummy.

Hopefully the monsters under the bed didn’t hear that.

No more blankets in the house?

No ketchup?

I wonder who Hobbes is talking to in his dream. Does he have any other tiger friends? Most of the time that we see him is with Calvin or with human characters who see Hobbes as a doll. Hobbes claims to have grown up in a jungle and once mentioned his Dad, “Doesn’t impress the girls, of course, but there’s no point impressing them and then getting killed as my old Dad used to say.” He may be dreaming that he’s back with his family or he may be dreaming about tiger friends whom we don’t know about.

……. And a nice chianti.

And cilantro, Hobbes!

Really don’t get why this becomes such an issue in marriages, when my wife kept doing this to me (without the gravy comment, obviously) I solved the problem by buying 2 single duvets.

Building some character by choosing the right survival instinct, Calvin?

Ouch. Well played Hobbes.

He’s bluffing, Calvin! Yank the sheets away!

My two cats would do that to me

Hobbes was awake. It was just a ploy to hog all the blankets.

Hold the cheese; mayo on the side…

my wife used to be a terrible blanket hog. a tiny thing at 5’ 1" she’d wrap up in all the covers on our queen sized bed. and denied doing it the next morning. one night I’d had enough. I got a firm grip on one edge and pulled.

I swear it was like a Bugs bunny cartoon, as the sheets straightened out she spun around almost 360 degrees and just lay there looking very surprised. since then she’s reformed.

Reminds me of the one time somebody asked if I like kids. Without thinking I replied, “Yes! They are great with ketchup!” The look I got….priceless!

Another example of Cal’s imagination getting him into ‘cold water’

Could use some warmer jammies, Calvin.

Calvin just crawl into your pillowcase and pretend it’s a sleeping bag.

Calvin doesn’t want to call Hobbes’ bluff, does he?

It’s a stuffed tiger…not real…just take the blankets back, Calvin!

What? You never cared for Calvin? What do you mean? You’ve had two helpings…

At least the gravy will make Calvin warm enough… until Hobbes gets peckish.

“and this time, we didn’t forget the gravy”, from the WB classic cartoon “Chow Hound”

Does anybody know someone that actually says “Doggone it” instead of its more explicit counterpart? I can’t think of anyone.

Reminds me of the meme of a skeleton sitting with a cat on its lap, because the former person didn’t want to move and disturb it.

He will dream he’s on an iceberg….

LOL… Hobbes has his own fur blanket !

Reminds me of what Idi Amin said about the U.S. “Oh, I love Americans. I had 2 for breakfast.”

Psychosis in overdrive.
