Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 01, 2008

It just figures, doesn’t it? He should have said they were going home a couple of days ago. It would have cleared up much sooner.

Dads have to learn, too. Unfortunately, it looks like Calvin will do most of the learning on this trip. What he learns will probably come out when their pastor is paying a visit.

HA! I can’t tell you how many times something like this happens to my family and I. But it always seems to clear up right after we finish. Weather is funny like that.

You aren’t finding those in a children’s dictionary.

Haven’t seen mom in days ?

If Hobbes doesn’t know what the words mean, how does he know how to spell them?

Phonetics!

Yep… crystal beat me to it. You look stuff up in a dictionary to get the definition based on the spelling, not the other way around.

Calvin’s dad may not have built Calvin’s character, but he’s definitely building his vocabulary!

I love how the tags are “swear, cuss, camping”…those words should always go together.

go figure is it just me or does something like that always happen. sucks.

Fortunately, there’s no way that I know of to look up @$%&##& in any kind of dictionary, children’s or any other.

Wait…I just Googled @$%&##& and it means (blush) can’t say. Fortunately, this strip was written before Google existed.

I didn’t know Hobbes was left handed…….

i wonder how calvin doesnt know any swear words if his dad always says em and he always asks the librarian what they are. i guess thats just one of life’s little mysteries…

Good catch Mr. Bill.

of course it ought ‘ave been obvious that Hobbes would be a fellow leftie.

pause

he’s a South Paw!

Very, very funny, Michael.

I’d have stayed for a few days…

cause I roughin’ it.

“Mom, what does @#$^&%^ mean?”

We’re all trying to be on our own best behavior here with my 21 month old granddaughter. Today my husband is rolling the ball to her and it goes past her. She rolls her eyes with attitude and says an exaggerated, “God!”, as she goes to retrieve it.

that always happens

Camping Fun

Lol

This sort of stuff always happens in comic strips (and australia).
