Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 20, 2011

MWAH_HAH_HAAAAAA!

No one likes me, all are so cruel and mean to me!

surprised ?!!

OMG…..poor Calvin…..lol

Party time.

It looks like Calvin is about to have a “stroke”.

……!!!!!

You’d better be nice Calvin.your life will be in her hands.GLUB! GLUB!

Got that old sinking feeling again…

yah never know…lol

ha ha haa….Calvin!!!!

You better learn to swim awful fast here Calvin….

Title of today’s strip: “The Day Calvin Died”.

SHOW TIME!!!

He’s not long for this world..\\//

The worm has turned.

Here where I live in S. Fla., lap pools are usually maintained at 78 degrees, year round…not too bad as long as you keep moving after you jump into the water!

Susan, yes they really hate him. They are forcing him to learn to survive when he’s in water. And just think of all the millions of kid that are forced to spend time swimming in the summer. They always look like they’re having a horrible time. Poor Calvin, to be hated this way.

I don’t know where you gett that from. I wish my parents taught me to swim. To this day, I still can’t.

Calvin doesn’t know how lucky he is.

try 8 am in Ohio in early June.

whats not to like about a long legged blonde at the pool…???Lets see who can hold their breath the longest….

Be afraid, Calvin. Be VERY afraid!

So this is what happened to calvin and hobbes.

It could be worse. Susie Derkins could be his swimming partner.

ooooh this is bound to be good <3

The face in the third panel!

Awwwwwwww! That’ll do!

LOL xxx

Calvin is a bit ‘jumpy’ this morning!

Calvin had better ‘pool his resources’ and at least learn the dog paddle, ‘oar’ Rosalyn will paddle him! At least he won’t be up the creek without a paddle.

calvin’s expressions in panels 3 and 4 are great

Lesson #1: How to know if someone is drowning.Any volunteers?CALVIN! :-)

Calvin’s babysitter will make sure that he is in over his head and out of his depth pronto….

OF COURSE!

I think Susan is assuming that Calvin’s parents know the nature of Rosalyn’s relationship with Calvin, and that she would be his instructor.

If he doesn’t cooperate, Rosalynn will have him sit in the corner. Of the deep end.

revenge can be a bitter sweet treat! :o)

At least Rosalyn has the authority to make Calvin learn—this way eventually he will be able to enjoy himself.

But the process getting there may not be too pretty.

Uh-oh!

This doesn’t look to good!

And the day is still young Calvin.. The real fun doesn’t begin until you hit the water… Then realize that maybe the chances of fathering kids just hit zero as everything was flash frozen by that nice cold water… LOL

Go Rosalyn!!!!!

;-)

Calvin hsa met Hi"s WATERLOOOOOOO NO

paybacks a b*tch

Calvin is sunk.

I used to go to the community pool but hovered around the sides. My stepfather showed me how to float “face down” and now I feel like I’ll probably not drown because even in exhaustion, one can float, lifting the head from the water for a breath.

Rosalyn for a swimming instructor Calvin can not cope with this without help.spaceman Spiff for example?

@lin4869 – I think your stepfather was trying to kill you… lol! Showing you how to float on your BACK would have been far less risky and practical.

It’s not about the swimming it’s about the teacher — what is his mom thinking??

Charle Brown would of said: “AHHHHHHGGG”.
