Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 01, 2025

You’re just jealous, Calvin.

Eat your veggies, it’ll put hair on your chest…..

Then you’re singing “I’m wild about Hairy…”

Movies from the 1930’s and ’40’s required actors’ chests to be clean-shaven—which is why you never see Tarzan with body hair (or even a beard).

Just wait another 10 years, then you won’t be disappointed.

But I thought Calvin hated girls.

You should ask Susie, Calvin!

I grew up surrounded by very hairy men. As a small child I hated to have dad pick me up in his arms because the hairs sometimes came through his T-shirt and prickled! That said, I remember crying my eyes out one day when I was about 5 because I realised that as a girl, I’d never grow a full beard. Well, not without a serious hormonal imbalance, anyway.

I have no chest hair, back hair, hairy arms or leg hair. Got a full head of too much hair. I shave every other day. Means nothing! Keep your macho!

I’ve never understood why it’s considered desirable for men to look like apes with hair all over.

Only the bad guys have body hair!!!

I take after my mum. No hairy chest.

Mr’s 6 is happy. She hates hairy men.

And no – l don’t have boobs!

Eyes raised, tongue out, arms folded – great! I’ll be practising that one…

Calvin, check to see if Moe has a hairy chest. If he does, you might want to re-think this…

And if you think others make fun of you now, it would be nothing if word got around you had a hairy chest at your age.

Hair today, gone tomorrow!

A small misspell? “You look like you have to take a dump?”?

I have a hairy chest but it is gross so I always shave it

George “The Animal” Steele…

I started getting hairy front and back, top to bottom, the second puberty kicked in when I was 12. Talk about getting teased in gym class. At least I wasn’t the only kid with the condition. :) Odd thing is, I can barely grow a decent looking beard. :(

He could always glue a road kill possum to his sternum.
