    ā€œMoe the lumberā€

    Calvinā€™s insults in the first panel reminds me of Captain Haddockā€™s swear words. Nice going Hobbes.

But if you look at the Spaceman Spiff and other drawings, you see that he does detail very well, too. Remarkable talent.

    Iā€™m surprised Hobbes hasnā€™t learned better insults than ā€œBubā€ after all the time heā€™s spent with the master. Ahh..the joy of besting a bully.

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

    cleokaya; Hobbes is indeed a whiz with insults, but he saves them for his best pal.

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

    Moeā€™s not a tough guy! He wants to play with a ā€œteddyā€. But Hobbes isnā€™t a ā€œteddyā€ hes a tiger!

    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.

    This is typical Watterson genius. Bill is impeccable in seeing and capturing the human psychy that we carry from early on into adulthood. The ā€˜faceā€™ 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?
