Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 12, 2010

No life giving lightening, sigh…

Now that’s some pretty wierd science!

Good Morning marg!!!

Send up the kites!

Young Frankenstein at his best!!!

Howdy, Grog!

LIFE! DO YOU HEAR ME? GIVE MY CREATION… LIFE!

Calvin…. Just get a cord and plug him in!!!

Just hide him in the freezer for a month or two.

Don’t give up yet Calvin!

Hobbes, where’s the ABby-NORMAL brain I told you to get?

Final winter days!

Where is Egor when you need him

life……..lightening…….I didn’t get it…… is it some new theory?

Try using sparks from some live wires..

Lightning? Just use that imagination of yours. It could bring anything to life.

poppy that’s ygor (or at least it was around Hallowe’en.

timely strip, too, considering i just finished reading Frankenstein.

Somebody call an ambulance!!!!

mmmmmhhhhhh…..I seeeeeee….

Losing another patient, Dr. Calvin? the hospital board is going to be unhappy.

Hope your malpractice insurance covers this eventuality.

Captain, I can’t keep it up. The power drain is too much on the generators.

I thought I had seen them all but this one is new to me….LOL

Maybe its still not too late to try and put up some lightning conductors from the house on the Snowman Calvin .. what say?

frau blucher is who we need. remember ever time they said her name, the horses neighed? blucher means dog food. fun film. calvin’s in for a big surprize, if he puts juice to his snow monster.

IT’S ALIVE! IT’S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

\\//_

yyyguy: I enjoyed reading that one too…

Well Calvin, you can take the battery out of the car and use Dad’s jumper cables.

“i have a womans brain for you master”.

“how do you know it’s a womans’s Brain Igor?”

“The name on it. Abby, Abby normal”

Wrong science.

Lightening for reanimating dead flesh.

Magical silk hats for bringing snowmen to life.

Don’t give up hope Calvin it’s rare but I’ve seen it lightning and heard the thunder during a snow storm

I think the lightning would melt him.

This is why Herr Dr. Frankenstein never tried to make a snow golem…

These comics are great keep trying and don’t give up

To those of you far too young to be aware, The Nairobi Trio was the invention of Ernie Kovacs a comc genius from the late 50’s.

It consisted of three individuals in Gorilla suits playing esoteric music that would inevitably feature a drum roll in vaudevilian slapstick form.

In addition to Mr Kovacs in the lead role as conductor, regulars in the group included his close show business friends.While none were ever credited individually, they did include (as the drummer) both Jack Lemmon and Frank Sinatra from time to time. The piano player was invariably Edie Adams (Kovac’s wife and a singer of some note in the period.)

Excerpts can be found on You Tube.

May be stupendous man could get clouds to bang against each other…

Poppy, don’t you mean “Where’s IGOR?”

Right you are Gweedo, lol

Suddenly wondering how Frosty got his jump-start….fairy dust?….act of God?….nuclear leak?…. I really can’t recall.

yyyguy and tanya, ‘Frankenstein’ was the only book i”ve ever read that gave me nightmares. I read it in high school, and had a nightmare the same night. For those of you that have only seen the movies I recommend reading the book. The original ‘Frankenstein movie with Boris Karloff did follow a lot of the particulars in the book.

Calvin needs to find a lousy magician with a magic hat!

You need the stovepipe hat according to the Frosty the Snowman song to get him to come to life.

Hilarious! I love it…

Frankenfrosty or Frostystein?

Susan001, I experienced the same thing walking home from middle school after school was cancelled due to snow. Following the lightning/thunder was a white out blizzard. Only time I’ve ever experienced this. This was also approx 40 years ago and happened in Missouri.

All Calvin would have to do is have his mother glare at the snowman with the look she had in one of the previous strips and the snowman would be up and outa there….

Check with Hobbes may be he does not want snowman for a chum .He does not look encouraging about helping

Don’t worry, Calvin. The news said that a hurricane is on its way.

I loved Ernie Kovacs when I was a kid; always watched his show. He was done in by a Corvair.

Marg: I saw Frankenstein when I was on holyday in a very dark village and I had to go home, when it had ended, for 1 hour in the absolute darkness, I feared to death!

Calvin has a practical side to his wild imagination.

Thank you, Wiseguy411, for reawakening some old memories. I loved Ernie Kovacs’ humor– what a genius! His “Nairobi Trio” was always a hoot. Sadly, we lost Ernie far too soon – done in by a light pole that got in the way of his car.

Think of it and be thankful: We still enjoy Calvin and Hobbes as reruns, we can reread “Frankenstein” one more time (or watch the movies again), and we can watch Ernie Kovacs’ antics on DVD.

I’ll second this one. Use the car and some jumper cables.

Try the power tools Calvin! The power tools!

Re: yesterday: Thank you for all the replies about the animation. I just thought it would be enjoyable for all of us Calvin lovers. I didn’t make it, it’s in someone’s public Photobucket. Photobucket is owned by MySpace. They wouldn’t have let it remain on PB that long if it were a copyright infringement. I didn’t even think of the GC police, because they allowed plenty of other linked animations to remain. Right below my removed comment is a comment saying it was “gross”.

The problem here, Johannan Rakkav, is that there ARE several people on this site who go to my page and flag every comment I post every day. I can name each one of them, because they harass me to no end, no matter what I say. The most innocuous things have been removed. Stuff that makes no sense as to why it should be problematic, so as for your assertion that I am overreacting, I have plenty of reason. My comments are attacked and removed on a daily basis by people who feel that only they have the right to comment, and if your opinion differs from theirs, they will make you leave, as they let me know outright. Seriously! It’s unbelievable what the GC police allow to go on here and what they will remove.

One must always keep the body refrigerated prior to revivification attempts….

mrslukeskywalker I enjoyed the animation the other day.

So you know, I only flag comments where someone is making a comment that seems to be deliberately insulting or prejudicial. Yes, I have flagged you, but I think it was only 2-3 times. (I don’t expect you to believe me, but it is the truth.)

I don’t always read your comments because I don’t always like the way you phrase things (and sometimes what you say). But I don’t flag people for that. Actually, I think I would enjoy more of your comments if they were phrased in a more positive manner.

BTW - If you ever figure out how GoComics decides which comments to delete I would be interested in knowing.

BBTW - I (Blows Raspberry!) because it is fun, not to be insulting.)

I think that only comments where someone uses foul language or where someone is attacking someone else should actually be flagged. I think any other use of the flag system is abuse of it. I’ve defended myself after such attacks, and my self defense comment was removed, but the name calling attacks on me remained! I have no idea what constitutes removal, because I’ve said practically nothing and found it gone. I think people should just mind their own business and say what they have to say about the comic strips. That’s pretty much all I do, until I am given reason to say something else.

Big Pink Mom, I know what you mean about whom you speak of, he does it to me too, but I see him being relentlessly picked on by certain people too. It’s the ones who cry “Play nice” that always follow it up with nasty names around here. There are a few who never comment on a strip, but always and only have something nasty to say to me. I agree LuvH8, if you don’t like my comments, just don’t read them. I do the same.

The only thing I ever say that shows I disagree with a comic strip is on FBOFW, and Irving in Cathy. I cheer the characters in all others that I read, and still catch it for liking something like Calvin. It’s ridiculous. It isn’t even fun being here anymore. I would never have even created an account, but they wouldn’t let me look back a day anymore if I didn’t have an account. I spent a loooong time here just reading my comics, and finding the comments mostly irritating, but as far as I knew, people had a right to their own opinions. Everyone except me I guess. I’m just fed up with the double standards of some of the readers and of the censors.

Those rules seem to be applied VERY arbitrarily, Big Hug. VERY arbitrarily.

heck with it just hollow him out and get inside and CONTROLL HIM!!!!! BEWAHAHAHAHAHHAHHHHHHAAAHAHAHHAHHA

poor Calvin, don’t get what you need when you truly need it.

Thunder and lightning!

Start hanging out with Lio.

Bill Nye got nothing on this! Calvin the Crazy Science Guy!

You’d think he never learned anything from the whole snow goon mess!
