Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 11, 2010

Confused thinking again…

Mom should have asked if he would invent a robot that makes his bed. That is a win-win situation for her ;)

Right on Calvin, I agree.

Happy Thanksgiving (Canadian) to everyone.

I’ll have to remember that definition of work!

Pleased to see you back, Marg, but not your new avatar!

LX013 I know you dislike the skull, but it is October, and I gotta be me!

C’mon Hobbes. Set him straight!

GM, Marg, Mike & Grog!

PetrusS, very good……….

Finally , Marg is back!!!!!!!!!!! in the season spirit………

Classic ENFP perspective on work… :))

I hear ya, good buddy!

Inventing a robot

Things needed:

Cardboard box - check Scissors - check Glue - check Pencil - check

You have to draw a face, create limbs and just have to write on the cardboard what it has to do. Then wait.

If nothing happens in 10 minutes your mother will come and make you do the tasks yourself.

If all the year were playing holidays, to sport would be as tedious as to work … William Shakespeare,

Hobbes may be the onto something

Danger, danger!

A little work now will save a lot of work in the future :-)

This is so true! Reading a book may be fun, but reading a book as homework makes it incredibly boring.

Marg, do you remember, I told you last year in November, that I don’t like the skull. Since this a full year has passed by! I wonder how fast time passes by!!

Much luck by inventing the robot, Calvin and Hobbes!

Where are my crayons and scribble pad. SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED got out the Windex and rags.

It must be very sad to have a “she who must be obeyed” in ones live, gaaaaa.

I hope that works out for you, Calvin.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠

Welcome back, Marg. Good to see you back at the top of the comments again.

As the old saying goes what Calvin is trying to achieve with his iminagtion priceless.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING Canadians also here Happy Columbus Day

I work today but off day after thanksgiving no pay, I work pt office.

Welcome back marg and Happy Thanksgiving/Columbus Day.

I was warned by my wife’s brother that her nickname was Little General or more affectionately known as LilG. Work is definitely a four letter word.

doppelspammerflaggen!

I must agree with Fer lefer, Marg, please leave this diet!

Calvin is correct. When I was his about his age and until I was about 6 years older, I would willingly help my playmates across the street with their chores, that was fun. But I ducked my chores at home because they were WORK!

Happy Thanksgiving Canadians!

If all the work were to be performed by robots, as we were promised in the ’50s, where would the humans get the money to buy food, much less finance their leisure activities? Or would all that be furnished by The State? Maybe all the humans would be occupied in caring for and servicing the robots.

The Robot’s idea of making the bed might be to destroy the house. After what he did to the car, Calvin had better be REALLY careful this time. Can hardly wait to see what the robot does or looks like. Spiff the Spaceman may need to take an extended visit to the outer planets….

I absolutely HATE the Doonesbury motif around the comics. It’s so distracting.

Marg…love the avatar! I have a similar one, but it has flames for hair…it’s on my facebook page….creeps out my students. The longer I teach, the more I realize that Calvin is a pint-sized freshman!

Hello to all and especially Marg! If we could get enough robots in our lives, we could loll away life like the humans in WallE! That would be FUN! Get to it Calvin!

Was one of your playmate’s name Tom Sawyer?!?!?

That’s what happens to most people who make their hobby their business, once they have to do it to make a profit it’s not any fun anymore!

Lots of postings tonight! Welcome back, Marg.

By all means, Calvin, build a robot. Eventually, you will have to make your bed, but you might as well put it off as long as possible. I can relate. I’m the world’s worst procrastinator.

MrsLukeSkywalker: I agree. I hate all the Doonsbury faces peering around the edges of the strip. Very distracting!
