Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 23, 2009

The plastic fangs will endow the wearer with panache.

Let us prey…

Look out Tarzan! Calvin is the new king of the jungle.

Panache…that sums up Hobbes quite nicely, methinks…

@attyush and @Gweedo…quit making me spit cola all over the minotaur from LOLz…

He’s getting there. Plastic fangs will work for crushing and devouring jello.

Mom is going to kill him. get back to bed and put that marker down!

In the third panel, Calvin does have the PANACHE in a way? lol btw, Hes sooooo cute!

The first panel is fantastic: the way Hobbes is holding the marker, sitting on one knee, his tongue sideway is mouth, saying:” Hold still …..”. Bill Watterson realy is (was ?) a genuis.

According to WIKIPEDIA, as of 2008 Bill Watterson is still alive. The real question is how do we get him to come out of retirement?

so does this mean we are looking at out-of-date but still tiger-ish comics?

Panache is nice to have.

He actually could pass for a tiglon (or should it be liger?) in panels 2-4.

Look at these every day and marvel at Watterson’s talent. Appreciate your comments and look forward to reading them, too!

Calvin better be carefull. Hobbes doesn’t have room in this strip for another tiger.

The pinned tail looks ready made for Calvin’s rear but didn’t realize Hobbes was left-handed… What a Hoot!

Go get ‘em tiger!

Great. Now he can leap out at Rosalyn

Hobbes has so much panache that surely he can lend some to Calvin.

Tammylynn, margueritem, joy and carmy; are we seeing the real deal in your avatars. If so beauty abounds at gocomics?

imagining calvin during halloween. tiger suit + calvin + sugar = awesome

It would be nice, but reading his intro in the Complete Calvin and Hobbes(see advert up and to the right of this comment), makes me think that is highly unlikely…

And if this doesn’t work, try the transmogrifier, Calvin!

If Hobbes is using a permanent marker, I can’t wait to hear the tigerish growl from his mother.

musicnut1986, she’s already had experience of similar after Hobbes shaved Calvin bald and then coloured his head yellow–same solution (odious for Calvin, a bath) will be used!

all of us great tigers are left handed

Vampire fangs? This brings back memories of when I was a kid and had a pair of those. I was pretending to be a vampire because of my favorite show “Dark Shadows.”

I think he makes a grreat tiger. Mom will definitely not be pleased and probably scrub the byjeesers out of him. My son did a similar thing when he and his friends were wearing, “army paint”. The school was more upset than I was and said, “It was disruptive to the class”. I told them they better get used to it because he’d be looking that way for awhile.

Don’t ya’ just love Hobbes expression in the last panel!! :-D

cleokaya hey you got my name wrong earler. its Tabbylynn you put my mothers name. lol its okay… thanks for the comments.

i see another bath in calvins near future.

Sorry tabbylynn and Joy618. I knew that I had something wrong with the way that I’d written your name tabbylynn, but I couldn’t figure out what. I apologize. And Joy that was meant to be a compliment. I had forgotten I had broken the thought into two sentences. The question mark was supposed to follow the word avatars and a period should have ended the second. It is nice to put a face to those one gets to know. We reveal so much about ourselves everyday, but it’s in such a unique setting.

who do you people think is the best charachter? Calvin, or Hobbes?

cleokaya no problem i think i get called that at least once a week.

so gay

yes,yes,yes, that is really panache.

whats panache?

I think that panache is something you put in your tacos

hahaha picante goes on tacos. panache is like a person’s style

Furry.
