Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 30, 2009

In the discount bin of dollar store rejects.

That’s a hint designed to cause worry and consternation, and it’s working.

This is great fun so Hobbes is playing this game for as long as he can or at lease until he gets bored of it.

The bigger question is what they traded to get Calvin…

Wait, i want to know what Calvin was going to say about how he thought his parents got him…i think at one time his dad said he was a “blue light special” at the K-mart…

Very mysterious!

Bad Hobbes!!! “Mom and Dad, where do I come from?”–Calvin

They got you for a pile of fleas Calvin. Why do you think it’s called a flea market?

Hobbes has the furcoat, fleas must be with him!

I love Calvin expression. ‘Ok, Shoot’ and then the bewilderment! You gotta love Tigers!

The real question is wehere did they get the enchanted tigrer.

Hint Calvin: they fell asleep in a bed on sale at flea market and the “stork visited”.

(stolen from Doug Adams’ So Long And Thanks For All The Fish, where Fenchurch tells Arthur that she was conceived in left-luggage office at Fenchurch St. station).

Is he suggesting that Calvin is an A/I?

thanks bmonk and steve3387 for helping me yesterday, would you guys like to be my first followers?

calvin was actually conceived on a ouiji board

hi bald, how’s it going?

Love Hobbes smugness in that last panel! LOL

My parents were an ugly lot, They made me out of sand and snot. But I’ve overcome, I’m the handsome one. And everyone else is NOT…

well, that could explain one thing; most Flea Markets have a NO RETURN policy.. Wow, Hobbes, you are a Master of Evil!!

Another snooty expression from Hobbes. Hmmmmmmmmmmm

In the flea market, Inside a little basket, They found a baby boy, Who, they thought, would bring them joy, But, he played only with the tiger toy.

i’m good, do i know you?

Calvin’s parents got fleased!

And here I thought they got babies at the regular stores! You know the ones–they all advertise the baby sales, half off… ;-)

Masterful, perfect…Every older brother (even a nice one like me) does the where you came from thing to the little guy sometime…but few a smooth as this.

In the third panel, Calvin throwing a hissy fit is beautiful.

It’s clear neither one of them know a thing about how babies are hatched.

Time for Calvin’s dad to tell him about the “bird and the fleas”

Just GOOGLE it, Calvin. Hobbs ain’t gunna ”FESS-UP”!

Ha-Ha Of course thats a bad hint!

Now and then, I go to Costco and see someone with a baby in the cart. I’ve never been able to see where they get them.

Oh–oh! The facts of life according to Hobbes. At least, it’s more creative than the stork or the cabbage patch.

Curiosity killed the Cat!!!

@chromosome, they prolly have the baby department hidden somewhere in the back rooms… ;-)

to chromosome: , i asked someone that once and she looked at me like i was nuts , well i kinda am but that is another story

This is almost as bad as when they tried to go to the Yukon together!:-)

bald: no, we just commented at the same time and i wanted to say hi.

would anyone else like to be a follower of mine?

this comic is really funny!

i know i’ve commented alot today… but i got a new avatar!YAY!!!

comments are the best thing to do.

ninmas, keep commenting on the comics you read. I’ve been reading your comments all along. The more you comment, the quicker the rest of us get to know you. What happens, happens. Followers are kind of a natural progression of people getting to know you. Some people are interested in seeing what you have to say on a regular basis. Some people just have enough time to make their own comments. We’re glad you’re part of the group.

I thought he was the Blue Light Special at K Mart.

@mrprongs

LOL, I thought so too. Much cheaper than Sears.
