Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 08, 2009

Then it’s just not worth it….

What a build up to a big fat let down.

It’s a bit like commenting on an online comic.

Hey Marg, that’s one way to get ahead.

Calvin will simply have to chalk that one up to experience.

Yukoner, good one!

be right back let me go get some spray paint

Girls always know what to say to take the fun out of it.

Margueritem:Why do you use such a horrible picture now? I’m shivering!

Just like being married, Calvin

Just when I thought the relationship was taking a turn for the better, Calvin turns his back on Susie. Calvin, you don’t have to be so flip about it!

Somehow, Calvin and “good, clean fun” just don’t seem to go together!

“East side, west side, All around the town, The tots sang “Ring-a-Rosie,” “London Bridge is falling down.” Boys and girls together, Me and Mamie O’Rourke, Tripped the light fantastic, On the sidewalks of New York.”

Off Calvin goes to invent indelible chalk…

Sweet Rosie O’Grady, a fisherman’s daughter by birth. she got tired of living, decided to leave this earth, so she swallowed a ruler, but dying by inch was hard, so she went out in the alley and there she died by the yard.

No harm, no fun.

Sheesh…

Isn’t that just like a girl to take all the fun out of it.

What? It’s not vandalism? All those years scribbling questionable content on public property…

We need Hobbs to “mark” the sidewalk forever!!

so calvin learns a valuable lesson…all things will pass

Calvin’s the kind of kid who loves it when they pour wet cement so he can make some indentation on it which will dry that way. I remember when we did that when I was a kid. One summer they paved everyone’s driveway and I loved watching them pour the wet cement and smooth it out. They said no one walks on it or touches it for 24 hours but don’tcha know a bunch of us kids put our autograph on it! What fun that was.

Liquid chalk aught to do the trick–if liquified with concentrated hydrochloric acid. Calvin will be back after he finds some rubber gloves.

If Calvin can’t be immortalized in concrete, it would be a waste of his time.

Years from now Calvin will be a hit with the ladies looking for a “bad” boy.

“Spray paint a subway train Carve my name in a video game Immortality is what I’m buyin’ But I’d rather be immortal - by not dyin’ !”

Artist: Steve Taylor Album: Meltdown Song: Am I In Sync?

Calvin’s so pre-occupied with doing what’s wrong and practicing evil that he’ll never find the joy and contentment that comes with doing good! No wonder he never makes it past the age of six!

“The violence of the wicked will drag them away, for they refuse to do what is right.” – Proverbs 21:7

“For a man’s ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all his paths.” – Proverbs 5:21

Dangerous weapons should be kept out of the hands of fools. Forget the chalk. Let’s start with keyboards and bibles.

Susie learned a concrete lesson in how boys tick.

I’m with you, Superfrog.

Calvin will get into sidewalk art some years down the road.

like “Lord of the Rings”?

A

Is this a new Calvin and Hobbs?

i remember using spray chalk to mark hop scotch areas for the kids on the driveway, maybe calvin’s dad has some in the basement

:-) Ah Calvin…we know him well. …

Come to think of it not much chalk used around here

Cal should watch the Jetsons episode where Elroy vandalized the space sidewalk thingey and got prosecuted. It follows him everywhere now.

too boring…=) Calvin should get some “street paint” colour..you kow, the ones that are used to mark all the driving signals on the roads.. =D

Awww, Suzie, you killed the adrenaline rush!

I think Margueritem is getting in the Halloeen Spirit! I think it is BOOtiful or is it SPOOKtacular??

I’m on here late today as I had surgery this morning!

so much for Picasso….

Susan001: I think you’re talking about Julian Beever - many of his right here…

Right Here

doesn’t he draw on the sidewalk in other comics

Good link Ushindi. I love the Sony computer piece, it really looks like it’s 4 feet wide! If only computer wallpapers had that illusion of depth…

Calvin you should have stayed with it you could have been another great artis. Its late I know what word I want but can’t think to spell it but art related.

He’d never been a vandal before? Somehow, that doesn’t seem likely to be the truth!

that a good one.
