Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 29, 2012

…because it Susie’s job to give you the sign.

The basic moral law is, “Actions have consequences”. Try to foresee them better a little next time.

Here is the sign that Calvin needed to see:Click here: Frank and Earnest (April 28, 2012)

In the last panel, Calvin learns that “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”

The love between those two.

sigth!…. It reminds me soo much of my childhood. For the same unknown reasons, I was always into the same troubles…

The universe has the need of a good laugh at times too Calvin. If you were given the sign there would be no punch line. :)

buster Calvin…

The BIG debate.Is there a god.Any need for an answer Calvin, if revenge is so swift.Or is that the answer!

I like yesterdays ,

I felt yesterdays hit a high note , don’t mind being wrong , bit of Calvin Philosophy

yesterdays was good

Perhaps you should have asked yourself, “Do you feel lucky, Punk?” Well, do you?

Give Susie (or the big dumb bruiser bully of his playground) the water balloon. Or let the bully come at Calvin with his fist. In this case, would Calvin then advocate for the moral law? I think so.

I’m still waiting for the punch line dogsniff

<< Dogsniff said: “Why are there no Mayan weathermen?” >>Ummm…………. Maybe very few people had TV back then?

If you had shared your guest with Susie you would of got a sign before the deed.

I guess there’s a universal moral law. Imagine that.

Maybe the universe was answering Susie’s challenge: “Show me that there is a universal moral law by letting Calvin do something that allows me to beat him into the dirt…”

Serves you right, Calvin.

I have no sympathy for you.

LOL xxx

I’ve seen it too many times. Calvin and Susie will probably end up married.

You shall reap what you sow, Calvin.

“Cause and Effect” has been a long-valued literary convention.

Luke before you lip.

Just because know one tells you it’s wrong doesn’t mean it’s right Calvin. It’s your responsibilty to figure that out.

Paperwork

Jeez, lighten up you guys….its a COMIC strip.

@ChrissyT, @Thirdguy, etc.: Glad you enjoyed the Peanuts strips. That Sunday strip is one of my favorites.

For the folks…cut and paste and replace dots with .http://calvinandhobbesgifs dot tumblr dot com/

for every action there is an equal (more or less) reaction!

Calvin & Susie sittin in a tree…

Firstly, morality is transient, it changes with the mores of the times. What is “moral” today, becomes immoral tomorrow, and vis versa. Once that is understood, the next lesson becomes instilling the lessons of today’s morality into the peoples that morality affects. Lot’s of luck!

We are almost the same age (3 yrs apart) and those sins you mentioned were strongly denounced in my church and camp, too. As female, wearing “men’s clothing” got mentioned also. Bet you were a Baptist!

Jesus Christ taught to love God with all our hearts and minds, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. On those two commandments rests all the Moral Law. But, since we will fail to do that 100% of the time, He did it for us, and then took our sin to the cross. Then He rose again . I know this is just a comic strip, but some of you all were getting quite deep with your comments. God Bless You.

Because the universe has a sense of humor.

Welcome back, Sharuniboy…have missed your rants against western religion. For the record, the Bible does not condemn movies, dances, radio, playing cards, board games, nor water balloons. Obviously those religions aren’t concerned with the Bible’s moral code; instead, they want fear and control over their adherents. (Stands back, waits for it…)

Susie’s very strong to leave him in wounds like that…

To answer your question Calvin it’s because we learn so much better that way.

Modern organized religion…The dictated misinterpretations and purposeful reinterpretations of religious text sometimes by individuals with devious intent upon those desperate for a belief system where individual thought is not required and blind obedience is often expected. BTW, I do believe in a God…just not in ‘modern organized’ religion. But religion is a very touchy conversation piece isn’t it (western or otherwise)?

I like Susy she is cute and can stand up for herself!

You asked me a couple of days ago (over on Non Sequitur) if I was a creationist, or a creation/evolutionist, or what? I could not answer at that time (too darned busy!). Here is your answer:Do I believe in God? YES. Do I believe in evolution? NO. Do I believe in creationism? NO. Do I believe what the Bible says, and do not try to guess at what it doesn’t say? YES.These positions incur the wrath of secularists, creationists, and confuses everyone who has been influenced more by religion than Scripture.If you dare, ask me for my reasons of any of those things…

The signs are always out there, even before “we do it”. We just don’t want to see them or understand them suiting our needs…

@raygun7139Btw thanks for your comments the previous comic day. I didn’t see it till later.

Looks like Calvin is demanding a test of God, that God measure up to his standards. However, in life we discover, as Calvin might, that it is we who need to meet God’s hopes, not vice versa.

Suzie doesn’t have Calvin’s sign, she has his NUMBER bigtime…

I just noticed that Susie carries a rabbit toy. I would be interesting to see a conversation between the rabbit and Hobbes…

His question in the second panel is “Is there a moral law beyond human convention?” and the answer is no. Moral law is a purely human convention as illustrated in the last two panels.

that must have hurt

They will get married one day.
