Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 08, 2024

Welcome to the jungle We’ve got fun ‘n’ games

Wait until you’re 18 and see if you finally get your freedom, Calvin.

Good job Hobbes!

More like a battleground or war zone.

At least he’s not under the predatory stare of Miss Wormwo… ya know what, I’d still take Hobbes’ predatory stare.

Will you ever learn, Calvin? Don’t announce your arrival when Hobbes is around!! Now, Mom will yell at you got getting so dirty!

This is the start of the story where Stupendous Man took on Rosalynn…

Not directly related, but I recently read The Life of Pi. Never saw the movie.

Epic.

Hup, hup Hike!

Cue that one Knuckles “Oh no” sound effect.

Don’t forget to replace your divot.

Cal forgot to shut off his automatic arrival yell. Cue el Tigré.

That’s why many houses have a den.

I know we’re dealing in cartoon physics here, but I want to know how fast Hobbes would have to be going for them to leave that much of a divot in the yard.

Hobbes is helping build the new sprinkler system

Now the trench for the new waterline is nearly completed.

Getting out of school always felt real good.

Ouch.

Think of the alternatives, Calvin.

Is anyone watching the Solar Eclipse in the United States?

Yeah, if a tiger had free run of my house I don’t think I’d ever be able to relax either.

But it IS an adventure!

Heh, “Home sweet home” doesn’t have the same ring as “I’m home!” But it’s not a safer alternative!

Though it’s also hard to tell at first, this is the start of one of the funniest Rosalyn story arcs!

When I sit down in the chair in the bedroom to watch TV for a little while before bed, my cat Raz dashes across the room and leaps into my lap. I try to put a towel over my legs to protect from her claws but, if I’m not fast enough, it causes her to collide with me instead of gently landing on my lap. Cats!

Ok, ‘Free’, who are you and just what did you do with our beloved Calvin?

LOL… Hobbes has been practicing ALL day !

When your older brother says “I won’t hit you THaT hard.”

Pretty dynamic for a stuffed toy.

These days its more likely to be a cage.
