Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 05, 2009

And that is a good reason for him to stay a bit longer.

Uncles need to be careful not to wear out their welcome. As a much loved Uncle, I know.

I like Calvin’s reaction in the second panel.

There is real truth in what Calvin says. I was always more patient and less demanding of my kids when my brother or some other friend was visiting. Isn’t it sad that we need company to bring out the sort of behaviour that should simply be part of our make-up?

Calvin does have such a childlike innocence

sorry, for Calvin in not realy happy for the staying of his uncle, he sees his own advantage.

On previous day, charlie37133 says - “always thought uncle max was in reality Bill Watterson who came to visit his cartoon characters. uncle max knows too much.” Out of curiousity, I Googled images of “Bill Watterson” and found that Uncle Max looks like he could be Watterson’s twin - (or at least his brother). Except Watterson wears glasses.

why doesn’t calvin like his uncle???

For calvin_joshi, he’s six years old–so he sees uncle as someone to be used, rather than loved.

he doesn’t really dislike his uncle - he just didn’t want to give up his room even for a week he treats everyone like that

Calvin’s survival skills are just more obvious than most.

He’s leaving? He never changed out of his nachos shirt.

hahahahahahahah……….

@Florchi, yes I went over there too. Interesting! I know Calvin’s dad & Max were taken from Bill’s self portrait!

jaja es habitual lo que dice calvin a todos nos pasa esto es genial

“Tomorrow. Is that soon enough?” Uncle Max speaks the language of Calvin. Don’t Uncle Max and Calvin have a strange sort of chemistry? I think Calvin really likes the Uncle, but does not want to admit it, just like it is for Suzie.

I laughed so hard at this comment!

Alterior Motives

Yeah I always wanted the company to stay longer too because I knew when they had left I was getting a spanking!

Don’t you mind please, translating that to English? alexhuama is saying that whatever happens to Calvin happens to all of us, and that is cool. Mind you, this isn’t a word by word translation ;^)

Look what I found!

A drawing of Watterson in which he himself personally (Watterson, I mean) is talking to Calvin..

Great picture Radelape! I’ve never seen that before. Do you know anything about the story behind this? Did this first appear in a Watterson book, or somewhere else???

You can always go home with Uncle Max.

~ What a great cartoon!

Maybe Uncle Max has 14 Nacho shirts. He does laundry every two weeks?

of all the great comments on here all the time, this one had me laughing so bleeep hard i was in tears. i love it.

Hi Margueritem!!!!

Grazer, how soon would you leave if you were around Calvin? I know I wouldn’t last three hours. Without killing him.

Nachos? I thought it was little Pizza slices.

Hahaha.. I wish you could stay forever. Calvin would say something like that and not even think about twice.

Hmm, I wonder if Greg House was like Calvin when he was a little boy?

Wonder why my post is backwards???

Calvins Dad looks more like BW? They both got the exact glasses??!!! lol

A pleasant or unpleasant guest Uncle Max is? I guess half-half! lol
