Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 16, 2011

Or not doing it, as the case may be.

Parents are so thankful for the rest! But surprises wait always and anywhere!

Mom is just happy, in not excited, that Calvin has been quiet so long.

He’s really into books now.

I liked Dogsniffs comment…..there is a® season, turn, turn, turn……….

Here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage.Here I go, playing star again.There I go, turn the page.

Dad turns a new page and his son is the human insect no more. Welcome Calvin Pancake von Avenger, 2D knight from Paper World.

lull before the storm… watch out mum, dad!!!

what is the gigantic sheet?

@Number Six,Apparently Calvin is “turning over a new leaf”. He ‘reformed’ as a human insect, didn’t he?

It’s a good thing that Calvin doesn’t drink alcoholic beverages. He might be going on a bender in the binder.

Does it ‘bug’ you that Calvin is a human insect two days in a row? Is it better to say “two days in a row”, or “two consecutive days” …or does it matter?

Calvin is lingering so long on a page that he could be arrested and ‘booked’ for loitering.

Ever sense takin Evelyn Wood reeding corse, my reeding has impoverished 1000%. I wood reckomend Evelyn Wood to all my freinds. Tank you.

Gotta rename my grandson Calvin.

Good for you, I guess?

that looks pretty boring, Calvin.

Calvin you and your imagination looks like having fun.

When it comes to Calvin, and any time he is quiet it is time to be alarmed.

Calvin is feeling the weight of a good education.

LOL! Phluunqd mee!

I wanted to make a pun using the word “flip” as in “flip the page” and his parents “flipping out”, but it was too lame.

Since I’m learning English, I don’t know which I find more interesting, and comic, the strips or the comments?

The quiet before a particularly bad storm???

I’d like to personally thank Mr. Watterson for spelling “minuscule” correctly.

HAHAHAHAHA! This is awesome!

Awwww, How cute…

LOL xxx

Anyone learning English is going to have a hard time today with some commenters. I know English, and Guffaw has me confused.

that in itself should be a warning

__Translation:“Hooked on Phonics worked for me”I replied.“Flunked me!”

Dad looks like,he suspects something is not right.

Silence isn’t necessarily golden in Calvin’s house. Besides, he’s getting some early practice to become a bureaucrat…

While Calvin’s parents aren’t exactly Ward and June Cleaver by any stretch of the imagination, I certainly hope that this would not be their first reaction to his death!

Hmm—with that dense text, that doesn’t look like a 6-year-old’s schoolbook. No wonder it’s taking him 20 minutes to turn a page.

Did Gocomics buy just 1 year’s worth of C&H strips? I definitely read this one recently and just about the only place I would have read it is here.

whitecarabao said“… You can have similar fun with the results of spell checkers where all the words pass spell check but are all the wrong words (even worse are all the words that spell check flags as incorrect but the dictionary says are correct; so people change the word to something incorrect)”

__This happens increasingly frequently. I wonder if we’re going to end up returning to spelling the way they did in Shakespeare’s time… flexibly.

okay,if you got out more often you would have the needle. is that enugh needle for you. by the by,none of us look like we did in basic.
