Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 27, 2010

Love it…

Good Morning.

What? No destruction?

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & Lonewolf!

Sounds like Calvin’s parents finally brought a new TV. Anyone with me?

Ants are dedicated workers.

I’m not dedicated. I’m committed.

I get out next Tuesday.

So true!

You’ve got a point there, Calvin!

Good Morning, Mike, Marg & Grog!

On Discovery Channel…..all this week…….

ANTS WEEK…………………….

And the kid will be glued to the set….

Ooops! There goes another rubber tree plant!

Calvin is not impressed by their ‘ant’ics

Guess that’s what God thinks about us.

As hard as ants work, they’ve never tried to build a power plant.

How do you know they haven’t tried? Maybe they even succeeded, only then someone came and wiped their anthill out.

I’m with you, Calvin. It’s a good thing there are so many morons around!

“Never give up, never surrender!” “To infinity and beyond!” “When the going gets tough, the tough get going!” Just a few of my favorites!

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Proverbs 6:6

calvin’s the sort of guy who never takes life seriously. hahaha go the ant!

Label it fun and Calvin would take another look. He’s mostly ‘out of this world’ anyway!

HEY!! that’s not…………at all gud!!

Kis, To think an ant could move a rubber tree plant is really ‘stretching’ it. But he has “High Hopes”!

Sometimes you run and run so fast as you can and in spite of hardest running, it doesn’t help, maybe you lose youre hope and give it up!

On the other hand, Yukoner:

(Jeremiah 51:58 RSV) “Thus says the LORD of hosts: The broad wall of Babylon shall be leveled to the ground and her high gates shall be burned with fire. The peoples labor for nought, and the nations weary themselves only for fire.”

(Habakkuk 2:13 RSV) Behold, is it not from the LORD of hosts that peoples labor only for fire, and nations weary themselves for nought? (Habakkuk 2:14 RSV) For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

thebird55, I trust you’ll still be ‘committed’ after you get out next Tuesday.

Now for a Non Sequitur (No Danae didn’t do it)

Remember when Jerry Rubin and Andy Hoffman threw the dollar bills from the viewing stands all over the Market’s floor on Wall Street? Stirred up ants are fun to watch.

kreole, It’s hard enough to ‘move that rubber tree plant’, let alone build a power plant. Trying to move a rubber tree plant can make the ants too ‘tired’. BTW, most of my puns are original; there are few ‘retreads’, even though, now and then, one goes ‘flat’. If one does go flat, I usually carry a spare.

I’m with you garfield 246. I remembered there was once when their house was broken into and had their TV stolen. haha.

G’Morning Mike and Loki.

Calvin is wonderful. I wish the mystery novels I read had his vocabulary and plot twist ‘n turns.

Puddleglum, your puns reach the “apple pie in the sky” today. BTW, I haven’t thought of that song in years! Thanks for the reminder…must look for it on itunes and add to the collection. I wonder if Calvin prefers cartoons, which would be irony of the first order…

I remember when I was Calvin’s age, stuffing firecrackers into ant holes and standing over them ‘til they popped…

Poor moron ants … There *is* a lesson indeed!!

GreenJade said, “Calvin is not impressed by their ‘ant’ics” You have lived up to your name. That one is a gem. BTW, if Calvin had destroyed the anthill, I suspect that ultimately he would get his comeupp’ance’. Maybe there was an ‘ant’ecedent incident where Calvin learned not to trifle with the little creatures.

my sentiments,exactly!

Only difference between striving ants and striving humans is we get weekends and holidays off.

Yukoner, Calvin’s last comment is in conflict with the sagacious verse you quoted. If ants are morons, sluggards would not be wise to consider their ways. However, a drone performs no work, and produces no honey. Its only function is to mate with the queen bee. Even the drone manages to make himself useful. I guess he figures that although it’s drudgery, somebody has to do it.

GreenJade and Puddleglum An’t you two funny !! ; > )

not always, we had to put in a lot of weekends where i worked for the last 3 years before the place closed

Exactly what I was thinking, Calvin.

At least Calvin was going to the TV and not getting a magnifying glass .

Most of the engineering occurs underground. We sometimes miss what’s just below the surface.

What ? Calvin not a lover of ants.

**Good morning Marg! Good morning Fran and Kizzzy! Good Morning L’Wolf! Good Morning Grog!**

Wait till you find out about the vastness of the universe Calvin. You shall find us humans far more insignificant than these ants!

I wait with anticipation for an antidote to today’s punsters

Maybe on the national geographic channel, theres a documentary about ants…

hey, guys! I’m new here, but I’ve been reading the comments since November…awesome site!

Krishna, that is “good,” not “gud.”

comicsgeniusguy ;

welcome to gocomics

sometimes the comments are better than the comics

Rakkav - the millenial line from Habakkuk 2:14 is one that has been going around in my mind lately. Thanks for reminding me. Love Calvin’s attitude. When you’ve had a bad day, there’s nothing like sticking a wad of cableTV bubblegum in your brain and chewing away for a while….

The last panel was such an ant iclimax

these comments are just as entertaining as the comics!!

ants aren’t the only morons…

“Don’t tread on an ant, he’s done nothing to you, there might come a day when he’s treadin’ on you! Don’t tread on an ant, you’ll end up black and blue, cut off his head, legs come lookin’ for you!” – Adam Ant, “Antmusic”

No wonder Adam Ant was committed by the British courts to pyschiatric detention/treatment on three occasions in 2002-03 (per Wikipedia). Calvin must have gotten to him.

“Ants are morons” Lol!
