Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 01, 2025

Great people also know how to stop talking. Happy New year!

Calvin, you’re the greatest…..

I literally had to google to see what “candor” meant.

For those who don’t know, it basically means being objective and honest.

Boy, Susie was awfully easy on him.

Sorry, Calvin, but people who have to tell you how great they are, are not that great.

Who knew Calvin would grow up to be Elon Musk.

Happy New Year Calvin and Hobbes (and Susie)!

That’s okay, Susie. You’re still young. You’ll meet many more blowhards, likely more conceited than Calvin.

Maybe there’s another bus stop nearby. This one is pretty crowded.

Watterson strikes again! I wonder if he looks back on these old strips sometimes and says, “Hmmmmm….”

This one really made me laugh! Thank you Calvin!

He’s a pint-size blow-hard!!!!

It’s only a common superiority complex .

True words, Calvin.

Only those of us that are really great, understand what you mean.

Calvin will probably grow up to be president of the us of a

Well said Calvin, right there with you :)

Sometimes you have to blow your own trumpet if no one else will.

Candor and accomplishment; sounds like a couple of guys I know. It isn’t bragging if you can actually do it.

Susie has a point.

The Brave Little Taylor syndrome. Enough!

Kinda like the the leader of Syria’s statue cummin’ down…but now what ??

Happy New Year. May 2025 be really great for ya!

You nailed it, Susie!

…….mite try a little humility!!!!!!

Calvin was just trying to let off a little self esteem.

Calvin is channeling his inner Count. Only he forgot Modest and Humble. And Patriotic. And Drop Dead Good Looking. Dilly! Dilly! Boy Howdy. : ). Happy New Year to all I including Liberals and/or Lowly Unworthies. : ). God Bless Us, Every One.

Candor can sometimes earn you trouble, Calvin.

Remind you of anyone (possibly with orange hair)?

Prescient.

when truth goes over the heads of many

Yeah, Calvin I know who you mean…

See today’s ‘Garfield’. This is by the way what the self-estee movement gave us.

At least his pants are on correctly this time.

He will be disappointed when he learns nobody is making a statue of him

I swear this strip is a biography of Trump when he was a little boy.

Sounds like someone we’ve heard speak many times – especially with the repetition of “great”.

It’s an old cartoon, trump has not yet entered the picture.

great…

This strip to day is oddly familiar and unsettling. Foretelling the near future.

It’s tough. I myself have a Ph.D. in Humble but I try not to talk about it. :)

I do find myself with less and less patience for people who can’t shut up about how awesome they are.

When someone keeps telling you how “smart “ and “great” they are…they are neither.

He sounds a lot like someone I see in media an awful lot.

Is Calvin getting in touch with his inner POTUS #45 (a/k/a POTUS #47)?!?

gosh darn, this is SO reminiscent of somebody in the news… now, who..?

LOL… A Narcissist does not see themselves for who and what they really are… That’s Calvin.

“I really believe I would have rushed in there, even without a weapon.”

Reminds me of a certain president elect

30 years later, probably not quite as funny ??? ;-)

“No brag, just facts.” Sometimes Calvin is more catlike than Hobbes.

Our 47th president?

Calvin for President.

If you have to tell people how “great”/“smart”/“humble” (etc.) you are … you aren’t.

He’s grating on her.
