Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 12, 2011

Darn Maurice gave ’em away.

Monsters is so duuuuuumb!

Shoving.

Together everything is more easy to bear!

Panel two………………….Priceless!!!!

Very good question yless. WHY IS ZOOM MOSTLY ABSENT FROM ALL THE COMICS? WAKE UP GO COMICS !!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if Calvin’s Mom chose the pink curtains, pink pyjamas and pink chest of drawers?

Well said, Hobbes.

rogue53:Nearly everyone comes to this site looking for humor in one form or another, but many are not looking simply for humor. In particular, the Calvin and Hobbes group has many people who are looking for something more than simple humor, because the Calvin and Hobbes strip is not simply about humor. It often touches on much deeper issues.Many people here have commented that negative attacks, such as those by ribbie149 this past week, detract from their enjoyment of this site. If everyone understands what is behind the negative attacks and participates in flagging them, we can all enjoy this site more fully, including the humor.

why? do you speak of the pompetous of love?

Come on guys. Show a little back bone, will ya.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠!

Maurice? Are the rest of the Bee Gees down there with you?

Good morning Marg!Good morning Fran!Good Morning L’Wolf!Good Morning Grog!

Cybil was a midnight smoker today. Marg knows what I’m talking about.

@Grog…I concur.

Nabuquduriuzhur I like your animated avatar!

My Mom (the greatest) taught me to hide under the covers and leave stuffed tigers out in a Chamberlain-like appeasement.

Monster eradication via methane….think about it a moment.I am 64 and I do honestly have a small tiger named Jerry, he is about 54 years old or so, he is still resting in my closet and he’s there when I need him so I really do understand this strip….my wife looks at him and just shakes her head….envy is a wicked thing…have a blast while you last.

Darn Maurice.

I never had a tiger, my two (imaginary, some think) friends were both bears. Like Calvin I was an only child. I think that explains a lot.

This is why my bed sets on the floor! No place for a bed monster to hide.

almost in his bed Pink color for kids very Pretty Cal & Hobbes..^^ ^^..

Hobbes still pretty Tiger.. Ha ha haaaa

Who ever heard of a monster named Maurice? :-D

I thought they were called TROLLS.

Brings back the memories.

Oops. The first this should read the. Sorry, no edit button.

If Maurice is talking to some one or something that means there is at least 2, is there more? Hiding under the blankets and calling Mom,is a wise thing to do for 5 yr old

This strip taught me the spelling of “Gesundheit.”

French monsters are the worst.

“Maurice the monster”—catchy!

The comments here sure seem ugly today. The comic should be our focus, shouldn’t it?

To fran650,Thanks for seeing things for what they are. Be careful though, you may have you thoughts deleted or banned should you speak your mind, and attempt to see this site as a place of humor, and not psychoanalysis. I see he and his ilk were able to have comments that disagree with his removed. Welcome to the dark ages.To rgcviper,I agree, the COMIC should be the focus, not one man’s attempt to control the site. Have a nice day all.

Actually, the one that started things down a negative path was Dogsniff. Be careful though, you, too, could be on a list soon to be banned. Have a good day.

hahaha, totally lold at ‘we outnumbered him’! XD

Use the flamethrower, Calvin! (They lie…you lie! lol)

You can create your own zoom by pressing Control+

Brockie: Everybody needs someone to love and to smooch and when it is a stuffed animal!

@ Stephen Gilberg: Classic!! (I might add….same goes for me as well…..and I’m Jewish!) :—)

Dogsniff and yyyguy: Gotta love “The Joker”!

@Number 6,“Silence is Golden” – The Tremeloes

I’ll bet Joe would be happy to know he’s still so popular after all this time.

Very cute strip today. It’s fun to see how Calvin and Hobbes evolved over the years.

@Hobbes…welcome back!

I’m glad I’m not the only puzzled one because I didn’t note any particular venom in the comments today. Thanks, Mythreesons.

Negative comments are men? I think woman could be reading this great cartoon too.

Maurice is probably in reference to Maurice Sendak author of Where The Wild Things Are…..

Dogsniff said,“I might be moving to Montana soon, just to raise me up a crop of dental floss.”Can I be the only one who doesn’t get it?Okay, I’ll bite. Then I might need dental floss. Please elucidate!

fran650 said,“Calvin, you have just been given a Gift Horse. Quickly, ride it back to class.”I suspect that Calvin will ‘look a gift horse in the mouth’ thinking that he should beware of Greeks bearing gifts, assuming that Principal Spittle is Greek. Calvin in his precocity, probably knows about the Trojan horse from the Iliad.

I asked GoComics several times, but got no answer: (do they care about costumers at all?)Waterson crated a strip each day for 11 years.GoComics recently started over C&H with strips that they already published in February 2007. What happened?

Now if Calvin’s mom could just train the bed monsters to make Calvin’s bed after he leaves it in the morning….
