    I saw a skiing kid zoom down the hill like that once. Had a really scared look on his face. The snow was kinder to him than Calvin’s gravel…

    Skating away on the gravel of a new day. Calvin should be philosophical about these things.

    Yes, Hobbes’ attempt at damage control is rather lame. I would have taken the “suggestion” as strong advice, as Calvin did. Hobbes (Lucy) has some ‘splainin’ to do!

    its cause thats how they stop run away trucks on down hill straightaways. there will be a turn off that is full of gravel and only goes 60 feet or so. at the end the gravel is a few feet deep

    Today, Calvin and Hobbes remind me of Charlie Brown and Lucy:Peanuts (1957)

    We loved the huge arm covering scabs, fun to show off like battle ribbons not to mention the fun of picking them off to which all the girls would scream “yuck” and run away not that we would ever, ever have wanted to irritate a girl….at 65 I have found this to be a lifelong quest…think I may be winning too…want to see MY scabs from that journey….?

    << Yesterday, Puddleglum2 wrote: “@Hobbes, Thank you for the response, but you took the comparison quite a bit farther than I had intended” (etc.) >>Hi PuddleglumI was only kidding. I was responding with a one-liner in the style of Hobbes, as I try to do sometimes. Part of the humor in my response was intended to be the infinite contrast between God seeing and knowing everything, and a confused little kid not seeing his baseball and not knowing where it is. Another part of the humor was intended to be the act of taking you literally when you had not intended it that way. But since you were unable to see my expression or hear the inflection in my voice, you weren’t sure whether I was being funny or being offended. It’s one of the serious limitations of a forum like this one.Thanks for the book recommendation. I have seen quotations from Phillips’ book but have never read it. J. B. Phillips’ paraphrase of the New Testament used to be popular, but I don’t see modern references to it. Of course, the paraphrase “The Living Bible” was published later, as well as so many new translations. Phillips wrote his paraphrase at a time when the King James Version was still very heavily in use, and in particular he had young people in mind, who had difficulty understanding the “King’s English.” “The Living Bible” covered the entire Bible, and it was also published in paperback under the titles “The Way” and “Reach Out.” Those two titles had pictures of young people on the cover and were targeting the same young audience as Phillips’ paraphrase.

    Calvin, when Hobbes told you to find a gravel driveway to fall down on, I’m pretty sure he meant your rear-end . . . not your face!!!!!

    Hobbes did provide Calvin with a means of stopping and this all Calvin asked for. A safe and comfortable means is another matter.

    Hobbes (the commenter): (This is in response to something you said a couple of days ago because I wasn’t online to do it yesterday.)

     

    Forget about the “Load The Rest Of The Comments” function. That doesn’t bother me near as much as something else we use to have that I really miss. I wish they’d restore the function button that would let you go back and correct something you just posted that you now want to change for whatever reason . . . whether it’s to add something, delete something or do something else somewhere in-between! I wrote to GoComics about it but I never heard back from them. Guess they didn’t like that particular suggestion very much.

    Hi GretchensMomThere are pros and cons with the editing function. It’s nice to be able to fix typos after the fact, but when we had the old system, I remember some times when a poster went back and changed something substantially after other people had already responded to it, causing the responses to not make sense after that. So, if I had to choose, I would keep the new system.Maybe a better system would let posters change what they have written, but only for a few minutes after it is posted, the way LinkedIn does it.Whenever I post more than a line or two, I’ve gotten in the habit of copying it to the clipboard just before I post it. Then if it doesn’t look right, I immediately delete it, paste from the clipboard into a new posting, correct it, and post it again.

    Calvin’s voice will have a certain “gravel” quality to it for a while….his attitude towards Hobbes will be stone cold, methinks….

    Proving true, once again, that rarely do we suffer the consequences for our poor ‘suggestions’. Think before you offer advice..“Who will pay the price for our recommendation if followed?”

    HOBBES (commenter) is either Mr. Watterson, or he works at Gocomics. How else would he know the future, i.e. what strip would have been published???
