āI just adore Calvinās facial expressionsā¦theyāre superb! ā
It is remarkable given that the drawing is so sketchy, he still conveys so much in just a few lines. But if you look at the Spaceman Spiff and other drawings, you see that he does detail very well, too. Remarkable talent.
Iām surprised Hobbes hasnāt learned better insults than āBubā after all the time heās spent with the master. Ahh..the joy of besting a bully.
Calvin called Moe a brainless invertebrated. By thinking Calvin was playing a trick on him and then running off because of it, he proved that he was brainless and had no backbone. Calvin called it!
This is typical Watterson genius. Bill is impeccable in seeing and capturing the human psychy that we carry from early on into adulthood. The āfaceā that Calvin fronts is what often carries use through our adult challenges. If you believe in yourself, this inspires others to work together in the same efforts. Your comment?

āMoe the lumberā
Calvinās insults in the first panel reminds me of Captain Haddockās swear words. Nice going Hobbes.

Good thing for Calvin that Moe has more stuffing between his ears than his stuffed tiger does.

@grazer: Stuffed tiger? Dare you call Hobbes that. Heāll maul you and the helicopter ambulance would arrive after all.

So it turns out that the bully is really the coward.
MrBillT about 16 years ago
We can see now that Moe with just the thought of an authority figure, is spineless, you rock Calvinā¦ā¦.
Tiger1183 about 16 years ago
Moeās not a tough guy! He wants to play with a āteddyā. But Hobbes isnāt a āteddyā hes a tiger!
mrprongs about 16 years ago
Maybe Moe called you a Rough Rider? Or a NY Gov? Or a Pres?

Calvin called Moe a brainless invertebrated. By thinking Calvin was playing a trick on him and then running off because of it, he proved that he was brainless and had no backbone. Calvin called it!

In my experience, at least 90-95% of bullies are cowards.
