Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 09, 2009

This was said by the boy that eats slug sandwiches…

This is not starting out very well.

Susie: “Darn you! Calvin!1 You’re gonna answer to my parents if I can’t get my master’s degree!”

shiverrrr LOL

Will Susi give Calvin a knuckle sandwich??? Why don’t they do a report on Nimrods and Doofusi or what ever the plural of Doofus is.

IT DOES SO!!

Amazing how the name of a great man can become so corrupted as to be considered an insult.

Calvin’s got a point, though.

DOES NOT!!!

As opposed to, say a BB- Nimrod…

Blame Warner Brothers … or their ignorant audience. The American neologism of ‘nimrod’ as an insult comes from the phrase “poor little Nimrod,” used by the cartoon character Bugs Bunny to mock the hapless hunter Elmer Fudd. Clearly the original meaning was lost on much of the audience. Kind of like the way ‘geek’ was redefined to mean nerd, even though geek in its original meaning is much more applicable to jocks than nerds. Nobody screws up English like Americans. LOL

How true, Braxx.

I’m afraid that Calvin is right. Suzie gets A’s in everything - even being a Nimrod.

Calvin, you may want to use a different term. In Britain, the word “Nimrod” refers to a surveillance/recon aircraft, of which one version was very similar to the American E-3-C “AWACS”.

sounds to me like susie is planning on calvin doing the report

Well doctortoon, there are strips which show what a marriage between them would be like.

For the record, the plural of doofus is doofi.

!!!SPOILER ALERT!!! calvin does a report about mars! its pretty weird.

Ahhh young love…. I remember it so well ;)

I can’t wait to see the report, hee hee.

Ain’t love grand?

Oh Calvin, you better do a good job, or else… HAHAHAHA

Susie may get better grades, but no one can outsmart calvin.

son la pareja perfecta, iba a poner uqe significa en ingles pero no se por que les molesta aprender otro idioma total este comentario es para quien quiera leerlo al igual que los que ponen ustedes, uno trata y eso es lo que vale

Uh-oh! Calvin and Susie fight over the report about food they like and dislike. LOLs!

alexhuama Usted es doofus tiempo tan próximo usted mejor escribe a máquina en inglés en vez de español.

Doofus —-Half-wit —-Dumb-wit

juar Wildmustang1262 que te molesta de que escriba en español, si no lo sabes estudialo, yo no me quejo que esto este en ingles nimrod XD

These two are definitely headed to the altar someday!

I wish everyone would make their comments in English unless they want to provide a translation. My Spanish is not that good.

Not sure Nimrod was such a great man. Many writings - as in Josephus - Nimrod is a man who sets his will against that of God. In others, he proclaims himself a god and is worshipped as such by his subjects, sometimes with his consort Semiramis worshipped as a goddess at his side

I don’t know. I’d rather be a nimrod than a doofus. But that’s just me. :-)

I used to do that with McDonald’s BigMac’s as a kid. LOL

Alex: Relájate; si vistas un sitio estadounidense, no esperes que los demás se adapten a ti; es como si visitaras otro país y esperaras que todos hablaran tu idioma..

In other words: when in Rome..

As Susie once said: “Now I see why houses don’t sell very well around here.”

As the saying goes….Nimrods are from Venus, Doofuses are from Mars.

@Alexhuama - Sé lo suficiente español para comprender la idea básica. Español comentarios no me molesta. Can ya dig it?

Wonder what the odds are for Susy and Calvin getting married once. One million billion to one ?

Comic-strip expressions in spanish:

Recórcholis! repámpanos! caracoles! carambolas!

:)

She’s just tidy.

cute. marg. i love the new pic. missed you yesterday.

Aparently nobody ever taught Suzie the point of a sandwhich,

Match made in heaven! Disected sandwiches and active stuffed tigers!

I love how expressively Bill Watterson draws. Not only the facial expressions, but the hand gestures too! LOL!
