Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 15, 2009

I don’t see you getting loose any time soon, Calvin.

shaking could get him loose

Can’t wait for him to be forced into the predicament of having to explain how he got tied up to his mother…

hobbes always has the upper hand.

Calvin is heading for anger management, courtesy of Hobbes…love the ‘tude in the last panel, though.

Ah, ah Calvin, “Sticks and stones may break his bones but, names will mean you will never get free”

metal on, calv!

Calvin was a cub scout, waaaay back in the beginning of this strip. I think he quit because he didn’t fit in with the others.

Cal you are knot going to get out of this unless you treat hobbes better so he will untie the knots for you before your mom puts knots some where else.

Calvin must be getting hungry - it’s been three days. BTW- do they have “Tiger” Scouts?

Calvinator says: BTW- do they have “Tiger” Scouts?

They do, actually – for kids who are too young for cub scouts.

I think Calvin’s reaching the end of his rope…

I love the 2nd panel where Hobbes is leaning on Calvin’s head. Advantage: Hobbes!

I think he’s reached his limit of endurance Hobbes, what say you untie him now?

I remember wanting to join the cub scouts because I thought I would love to use the uniform to pretend that I was a frontier cavalry officer.

This is almost as good as when Calvin wants to get into the secret club house, and has to recite the secret poem to get in. “‘Live for revenge” is going to be my motto…” LOL!

I like how Hobbes uses Calvin’s head for a book prop in panel two. Hobbes is definately relishing the predictament.

Only thing missing is a piece of duct tape….a BIG piece.

No, Hobbes is leaning on the back of the chair.

Hey Calvin! Watch your tongue! Hobbs will not untie you off the chair unless you ask him politely.

Comon Hobbes, put Calvin in the bathtub full of water, that should help loosen the ropes, (maybe)

Uh, Calvin - don’t you remember? You asked Hobbes to tie you up!!!!

Silverpearl: If you look real close, the chair is at the level of Calvins’ ear, so Hobbes is leaning on his head in panel 2. Panel 1 and 3, he is leaning on the chair.

It’s an Acoma pot. I wish I could make the picture bigger so that you could see the details. The image in the center is a lizard.

Actually Bill Waterson said that he stopped putting C&H in the Cub Scouts because it limited their adventures together. I think that was in the 10th anniversary book. And I love how he’s using Calvin’s head as an arm rest in panel 2!

thanks margueritem it looks very pretty form what i can see.

Burgundy 2 - you must have done well in Guides to remember those knots.

At the end of a long day, when I need a good laugh, good old Calvin& Hobbes always delivers! Hobbes is like the Older Brother From Hell in this one.

When I went to Marcio Silva’s page, my virus protection went crazy. I’ve spent much of the day scanning for spyware and trojans and worms. Oh my!

well calvin, u asked for it u got it!! next time be careful what u wish for..

Come on hobbes!

Well, Calvin would do the same to hobbes
