Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 04, 2011

Notice when something goes wrong, one parent always says that the kid is the other parent’s.

Very funny, but must it be at home in the tube?

Love Hobbes’ cannonball and the result panels. XD

Hobbes isn’t quit a figment, he does have a physical body so calvin could be tossing him in.

ha haa Can I join too?

Well, who ever’s kid he is, you can’t leave Calvin alone in the tub for a second.

Dad gets to ‘stair’ at the damage!

Dad has his head on backswards, but there’s no time for explanations now, Mom!

My kids were the same way though I punished them with the belt. They didn’t so it again. My 2 oldest complain the youngest one gets away with alot more they did.

Maternity is a fact.Paternity is an opinion.Even DNA tests only give a probability of fatherhood.

#blink, blink# Why do I have a sudden feeling of impending DOOM?

I have a feeling that Calvin’s Mom can be very convincing, when she explains things!

actually marriage has to be a 100/100 deal anything less is doomed to failure

@Dogsniff,Don’t go overboard!Doesn’t it ‘stair’ you in the face that you and I really do have something in common?

In today’s strip, it would appear that Hobbes is alive and not stuffed, because it seems inconceivable that a stuffed animal could generate enough impact force to empty all of the water out of the tub. But some will claim that Calvin only imagined that Hobbes did a cannonball, that Calvin himself did the cannonball, and that he then imagined himself flying out of the tub as a result.Some readers are convinced that Hobbes is alive, and others are convinced that he is only stuffed. It’s a faith issue. Science has never been able to conclusively prove or disprove either point of view. And no amount of heated rhetoric by those on one side can change the opinions of those on the other side.If one wants to avoid arguments at all cost, one should never discuss religion, politics, or Hobbes.

Love the reply from the Mom!! HAHAHAHHA!!

Yeah, right

Oh no, you must not spank your child. That is child abuse and will stifle his creativity. (Snort, snort.)

Nobody here is old enuff to remember Nelson and Jeannette. (or at least we won’t admit it.)

Panel 7 is epic.

I like how, in the last panel, Dad is able to turn his head a full 180 degrees to talk to Mom. Practically an “Exorcist” moment.

50% of the time she is right, and 50%of the time he is wrong.

Love the grin on Hobbes’ face in the next-to-last panel!

I love Calvin and Hobbes – so true to life!! may we always have a little of Calvin in our hearts

Too many serious comments, Hobbes is my hero.

@Grog…can’t leave him alone… But then, we would miss out on all Calvin’s fun.Love the fact that on this strip there are no overly serious comments…The FBOFW, comments would be child abuse for leaving a kid alone in a tub.

Hobbs gets a 10 for splash and Calvin gets a 10 for moon in the air.

Bet Calvin grows up to be an extreme skier or a skateboarder.

Calvin is so mischievous..

Hobbes is getting the same.

LOL LOL, Still cute though.

xxx

Do y’all really think that Hobbes doesn’t exist? Of course he exists. The problem is that the parents are incapable of seeing him for what he is. BTW, if you had Calvin running loose in your home, would you not have a tendency to blame your significant other?

“A marriage is a partnership…as in 50/50.”

++++

More like 100/100: each partner better give 100% . . . or you barely meet in the middle!

“There’s always numbers and letters on the end of the flight deck of aircraft carriers. Little late to be giving the pilots an eye exam, isn’t it?”

++++

But not too late to figure out which aircraft carrier you are over and contemplating landing on. . . .

For those that might be interested, The number “32” was the hull number of the USS Leyte, an Essex class carrier from WWII. She was named after the battle of Leyte Gulf.

Lol :P Nice Cannonball, Hobbes

(Perplexed) @Dogsniff: Strangely, the site has been fine for me ever since they did the server maintenance the other night. Before that, I was sometimes waiting several minutes for a page to load, and sometimes it wouldn’t load at all.

But..but…HOBBES did the splashing!!!

I too find that the site have been pretty quick again. That last day or two, at times it took several minutes (and even several tries) to load a page.

Just put a bathtub in the basement, and let Calvin splash all he wants! (Of course, then he wouldn’t WANT to…)

That’s an improvment?

(Questioning) Would you classify this as a sarcastic comment? I would have mistyped sarcastic three or four times at least. Just trying to add a little jocularity here.

My infernal gratitude, kind sir.

hobbes is soooooo cute on this comic!

No. Just to let them know they’re landing on the right carrier.

no duh

what kind of picture is that?

Hahaha Calvin and Hobbes’ mutual love for destruction is one of the many hilarious things about the comics

And our boy is in a classic ’50’s Venetian Pink tub? Maybe neither Calvin nor Hobbes made the mess; could have been a torpedo from “Operation Petticoat” that got sent back in time.

Wow, sexism is alive & well. What a patriarchal distribution of labour, you ignorant Neanderthal.

AHWOOGA, AHWOOGA!

The waterfall is so unique, it can only enhance the value of the property.

USS Leyte, CV-32.

PFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
