Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 11, 2008

And a base hit for Calvin.

Gweedo: Great minds think alike.

Emily post would have loved to take up this challenge

Mom has no appreciation for the fine art of comedy.

I’m just dying to hear what strike three might of been.

I notice dad is mercifully absent during this episode.

I kinda’ miss those days when my boys were that age. LOL

My grandson is in this age now!Everything is fine, what you are not alloued to do!

Hey Gweedo, If I had struck out I would not have been in my seat for at least a week.LOL

Calvin should’ve said ‘Clean-up in isle 3’. ;))

From late yesterday: 4deerinmyyard says: “Tiger, tiger, cutting Zs In fancy’s forest, where the breeze Wafts scent of cookies chocolate– Thus in your sleep you talk a lot.” Wow! Applause!!

RayC: I’m glad you posted the poem, it was a good one!

Mothers have no sense of humor… Of course, every child in the world knows to fear that look in the 4th panel…

One of my all-time favorites. This one always has me rolling on the floor!

Ohhhh I remember those days… This strip reminds me to my mom, the “3 strikes” phrase is so like she!!

Yes Ray C; thank you for bringing that forward. C & H always seems to stroke our creative side, but several people outdid themelves with th Kiplingesque poetry. I think yesterdays strip will become one of my favorites.

though……. it is pretty hard to beat “must be a barge coming through”!!!

excuse me for my rudeness it was not very smart but, had it come out the other end, it would have been a …

My husbands not that age..but he still does things like these to tick me off!!n even at stike 3..theres not much i can do except duck under d table n hide my face!!:P

One of my favorite C & H of all times!

Looks like Calvin’s eyes were about to pop out, hard to tell if the odor was as intense as the volume. I also think Calvin has experienced strike three before.

Or my brother’s and my favorite: “Good Grub!”

grandslam !

This is one of my absolute FAVORITE C&H comics.

my answer was and still is “Bring it up again and we will vote on it.” and I am way passed 50 - my wife’s response is much like Calvin’s mom.

I would sat next “wow,never thought I’d blow this whole place away!”

What did you expect Madam? Chimes?

Actually that’s probably the exact response I would give… although maybe not at a fancy dinner of any kind… but since they’re eating what looks like “gruel” or “protein”, I think i’d be safe.

i love this one. i would not have pushed it to strike three either. i love the way he looks when he says excuse me. i think it is great. my fav

I’ve always loved this one. I was right there w/him when I was a kid. Belch humor is like toilet humor: they try to convince us guys when we’re 5 that it isn’t funny, and it’s STILL funny 30 years later. -Cwok1975

Definitely the best Calvin and Hobbes strip ever.

if Calvin’s mom got to three,I think Calvin would zone out into Spaceman Spiff.”We join our hero who is in a battle on the far off distant planet,Zion-6,as he is battling the evil “mom lady”.

“Must be a barge coming through!” has been at the ready whenever I’ve had a large public belch for over twenty years when this strip was first published.

Yeh, this was a good one, but I still think I prefer the ones on Valentine Day with Suzie, or the ones where you can see where Calvin got his je ne se quoi (is that right?) from both Mom and Dad. Like the one where He is explaining about color photos, or the one where She is trying to find Hobbes at night by calling to him.

How about, “Mom, be thankful it came out this end!”

lolz … i love calvin .

Usually in a situation like this I often say “More tea Vicar?”

Sounds like my mom! lol

One of my all-time favorites!!! Have been looking for this for an hour & was just about to give up for tonite & go to bed…. now I’ll be giggling all night!
