Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 14, 2009

A most noble ambition…

I bet he’ll do it .

I bet someone’s skull will get dented – but not Susie’s.

I hope he can run like the wind.

Aaaaaaah….to be young and foolish…

Neither the buckeye, Susie, nor Calvin will look very pretty after that event… Good thing Hobbes is there!

The caveman theory

Calvin, is that 50 feet vertical or horizontal?

Inspirational.

Does that mean Calvin and Hobbes takes place in Ohio, the state where I spent my childhood?

That’s cold, Calvin. And for you, probably impossible; you can’t even throw a snowball that far most of the time.

Somehow I think you will be running from Suzie AND that marble!

G’Morning Carmy, Marg & Johanan

Ouch!!

Calvin, do you judge that to be a safe distance after you dented Susies scull?

50 ft. is not enough distance, Calvin.

You’ll never stay off Santa’s “naughty list”, Cal.

He wants to have his buckeye and throw it too..

I had to look it up… a buckeye is a large seed from a tree of the horse-chestnut family.

IIRC, Calvin once flung a pinecone at Susie but she sent it right back at 95 mph!

ahahaha….

@Yukoner : I was thinking the same…. :P

merrymarg I love your picture! Merry Christmas

My guess is his going to get a piece of coal this Christmas…

The start of trouble, as always…

You need a good wrist rocket, Calvin. From only 50 feet that will let you permanently plant that buckeye in Susie’s head.

Oh I know, I’ve offended every PC’er in the bunch.

I’m just teaching Calvin that if you’re going to do a thing you have to do it right or just don’t bother doing it at all.

Maybe Miss Wormwood’s!

From 50 ft. that buckeye will cool susie and that will be that.

And it’s pretty, too! A dual-use buckeye!

Macushlalondra, if he’s not @ school, what makes u think he’d try 2 get miss wormwood

what kind of name is wormwood anyway

I would not much to say where today’s strip is concerned I think Calvin is being a typical boy.

I waited too late was also too busy for Dec 12 comments where Hobbes is snoring and keeping Calvin awake and Calvin winds down on the floor. Here for me and I don’t like to give myself away but I let my husband sleep, my husband mother told me she use to poke her husband to tell him to quit snoring, I can’t do that. I gave up a job and he work to raise our two kids. I would either two things my husband would go to bed early and I would wait usually an hour and I would read or watch some tapes. Or if I could not get to sleep I would just read a book. Good way to get novels done. It would take until 3am before I could consider going back to bed. I can’t stand the noise and am a light sleeper and when nerves start happening, which means music in my mind, means no sleep. Also I have to leave caffeen along no problem there not additiced. So husbands this is one wife that lost sleep to a husband snooring.

a neighbor girl did that to my brother with a clay brick when he was 7 , he still has a wicked scar on the side of his head and that was nearly 60 years ago

careful calvin (ha to that) it’s susie who usually comes out on top in these confrontations…

,,,denting Suzie’s skull: Ah, true love at that age….

This is I wish thing not a do thing

jbmetalmonster- wormwood is a plant used to make absinthe, a licorice-flavored liquor with a high alcohol content. When I was stationed in Japan, absinthe contained opium. So, I supppose M.s Wormwood must mess with Calvin’s mind! <:-)

The inquisitive Badger always pondered the question: ‘What is a buckeye?’ ”

Well, this year a Buckeye is a team somehow able to win. No idea how they managed to beat The Badgers with defense only.

There’s a Calvin in every child! Haha. This is great. http://tinyurl.com/ycfltzz

beachbum56, thank you, but it’s only up for St. Lucia’s Day. Merry Christmas to you, too.

A buckeye is going to be someone reeling over how badly they could lose another bowl game come January.

A nice Buckeye, perfect shot to dent Susie’s skull with it within 50 feet Calvin.

Saint Lucy is most beautiful with her crown of six

lighted candles. Buckeyes are nuts, alright, but

you must not eat them. The Chestnuts roasting by

an open fire are Chinese chestnuts. Very good,

but they are not Buckeyes.

Not only is Calvin a boy, he’s about 115% boy. I love the dichotomy ‘this is pretty, I’ll use it to hurt Susie.’ So very 6 years old!

don’t do it calvin,no good will come of it.

i hate 2 interupt, but #1 redskins fan, i no what wormwood really is, what i want to no is why thats a name! could ya imagine if your name was wormwood?! just say “hay whats yr name kid, o mynames jeff wormwood” idk…

BinaryWeiner thank you for that as I had NO idea what a buckeye was and I am TOO lazy to look it up and Yukoner that would be 50 feet vector. Actually I think Calvin’s got about as much chance with the buckeye as he did with the snowball he saved until July.

You know Hobbes is sweet on Susie, Calvin is just yanking his chain.

A pretty buckeye for a pretty girl

I bet Susie’s gonna plant that buckeye right where his third eye failed to develop.

I think he’ll wanna be at least 75 feet away
