Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 29, 2011

watch out …

Hobbes is suddenly unsure about their situation.

Boy, Rosalyn doesn’t fool around, does she? O.o

Yesterday, Hobbes said: “Hey, Thirdguy, aren’t you on Eastern time? It’s 3 o’clock in the morning there!”Yesterday, Wiseguy replied: “Hi Hobbes, If you were referring to me, I’m on Mountain time.”

Hi Wiseguy. Actually, I was referring to another guy, Thirdguy, who is in New England, and he was up at 3 am his time while I was up at 2 am my time and you were up at 1 am your time.But you were a victim of circumstances. Here is a simple explanation of what happened:Two guys posted nearly simultaneously at 3 am Eastern time, 1am Mountain time. Wiseguy was the first guy and Thirdguy was the second guy. I replied, first to the first guy,and then second to the second guy. Then the posting by the second guy (Thirdguy) was deleted, later confusing the first guy (Wiseguy) and making him think that, with my second reply, I had been replying to the first guy – that is, Wiseguy – when actually I had been replying to the second guy – that is, Thirdguy. So, naturally, the first guy, Wiseguy, assumed that I had accidentally typed the name of the second guy, Thirdguy, while intending to type the name of the first guy, Wiseguy, when, in fact, I had typed the name that I had intended, namely, Thirdguy, the second guy.The confusion is even more understandable, because Thirdguy is also a wise guy.And in the thread that Thirdguy started, I was the second guy and Wiseguy was the third guy, becauseThirdguy was the first guy.Here is a paraphrase of Thirdguy’s comment that was later deleted, referring to Calvin shooting darts at Rosalyn: “You know what they say, whatever doesn’t kill you, can really tick you off !”Even at 3 o’clock in the morning, Thirdguy can be a very funny Guy.Don’t know who deleted his comment at GoComics. Probably some wise guy.

It’s not good to make musik, when you are blackmailed!!

So, Calvin’s music genre will be “basement boys”.

An effective one!!!

I’d rather hide under the bed. Even with the monsters.

I think Rosalyn would make a great substitute teacher, too!

Who was that guy?

Suddenly, Calvin’s singing a different tune.

Petey looks like a good comic from the few I just read. I’ll have to add it to my list and take it for a test drive.But the question is will Calvin learn?I doubt it.

ooooo… she is good.

We need more sitters like Rosalyn.

Hobbes, I didn’t realize that they deleted me, I wasn’t sure if my use of the word that rhymes with “missed” would get past the censors.Thanks for the riff, I may change my name to “The other Thirdguy”!

Caveat Venditor! Let the ‘cellar’ beware!

@Wiseguy and @Thirdguy:Thanks, guys.

With calvin desperate measures are nessecary.Loved your comic by the way.

Calvin is learning!

@ThirdguyThank you. You’re the ‘firstguy’ to say so! It was an example of my ‘basement’ humor, although it’s not as low as bathroom or toilet humor.Btw, I’d expect Thirdguy to be on third base, but “I don’t know” “who’s” there. No, who’s on first! Never mind! Is he even on the team? I could go ’bat’ty “today”. He’s the catcher. Let’s wait until “tomorrow”. He’s the pitcher. I’d better “Exit, stage right” before Dogsniff starts ‘bawling’, or ‘balling’ me out!

Speaking of Dogsniff, yesterday he seemed to imply that God was Ron’s “soothsayer”. That would be easy for God, since he is omniscient.Btw, I trust that Dogsniff is enjoying Florida. He will, if he knows ‘The Keys’ to happiness.

Some really good stuff!!Great punch lines, and terrific art.I look forward to seeing you daily.

Mom take notes.

Rosalyn: DungeonMaster

Hobbes: HeadacheMaster

Hi Petey,

I checked out your strip and I liked it. Good luck with the syndication thing!

Calvin, I really wouldn’t mess with her if I were you.

LOL xxx

The basement has THINGS down there – aaaaagh!

I think there are more monsters down there than there are under his bed. :-D

@Thirdguy,Thank you for dubbing me with the flat of the sword. Dogsniff might dub me with the edge of the sword. Then I’d ‘split’! That’s my personality. But it’s all fun and pun, I hope! :o)

agree

Do they even have a basement?

Calvin would love sleeping in my basement . . . it’s completely finished and includes a second family room, kitchenette, small reading/library area and a guest bedroom/bathroom the same size as the master bedroom/bathroom upstairs. It’s very comfortable down there!!!!!

 

;-)

Love those “Horn & Tom-Tom” arrangements….Stones did it with “Play with Fire”!

Calvin has met his match…

lol, idk what I love more, calvin’s idea of making noise in bed or the basement bit! XD
