Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 08, 2012

A congressman in the early days.

No thanks, I’d like to avoid that sight.

Hobbes’ head in spinning faster than Linda Blair’s head in the Exorcist.

Love the little practical attitude uptic at the end.

Could it be worser, Calvin?Love Hobbeses head going around!

Next game in 60 seconds …

You cheated. You didn’t play the game right. I’ll show you.

It’s a good thing he doesn’t have Trelane’s powers.

That’s the way to do it

Calvin reminds me a bit of the ’nucks fans last June.

Look at all the aerobic benefits you get!

This is what happens when we give all the kids on a sports team awards so their self-esteem won’t be hurt. It never occurs to them that they might lose.

Here are Charlie Brown and Lucy in their very early days, during the second year of Peanuts:Click here: Peanuts (1952)

Who says checkers is a “bored” game ?

@Grog: Sounds good. I wish they would publish the complete B.C. Many of Johnny Hart’s early strips have never been published in book form, especially from back in the pre-Grog era (no offense…..). For the complete collection, maybe they could title the books “1958 B.C.”, “1959 B.C.”, etc.

I’m sure happy my children, grandchildren & greatgrandchildren didn’t turn out like this one.

haha the dog is wise

Awwwwww, Poor Calvin. Nobody likes losing.

But Hobbes is right, It IS only a game.

LOL xxx

Hobbes, I do have some many of the abridged pocket books (published by Fawcett Gold Books) dating back to 1958. I started filling in my collection last summer. It’s fun to see how the characters took on the form we are so familiar with now.

But it would be nice to have a full collection with all the comics as published for Peanuts and Calvin & Hobbes. For the time being, I’ll have to settle for what I have, which is virtually everything that’s still in print and some that are no longer in print. If I don’t have it, it’s not in print or being sold used.

maybe a bit to enthusiatic

this is why you need a physical to play checkers,right?

not the mind meld. did he learn that from spock

Calvin how can you say you hate Hobbes? He’s your bestest friend!

At first I was it Prfesser about Calvin playing with himself. But then I realized that, with Hobbes, Calvin is “home”, so it doesn’t count like it would at, say, school. So it’s still ambiguous as to which interpretation of reality is true.

Wild board game over at THE ARGYLE SWEATER too.

LMAO!!! LOVE the second last panel!!……..and the last one too…although I’m not sure if I’d want to see Calvin lose in real life….

This is what happens when the Chocolate Sugar Frosted Bombs wear off….

If Calvin reacts this way when he loses a board game to his stuffed tiger . . . what’s going to happen when he loses in real life to real people???
