Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 20, 2012

A very seldom horoscop today, it will not come true, I think!

And rarely does it even travel through the vacuum of Calvin’s mind! lol

RE kuren444: Only listen to a one-armed economist (because he will never say, “On the oather hand …”)

Get used to it Calvin. . . Life’s a female dog and then you die.

And maybe pigs will fly.

As long as Calvin ‘rails’ at the horrorscopes, he on ‘the right track’!

Semper Fido has written a pun of ill repute. Once a dog, ‘always a dog’. Actually, it’s a clever play-on-words. Fido is not barking up the wrong tree, if he wants to win pun-of-the-day!

Hint is in “Big Nate: in a class by himself”, where Nate gets a fortune-cookie from Teddy saying “today you will surpass all others”.

Your horrornoscope said “key policies will be implemented”—but did it say whose?

That explains why I wake up in the evening.

I like to read horoscopes at the end of the day to see if they were actually correct. That way I can criticize them all I want.

I have to watch my Sodium intake, so my horriblescopes are usually pretty bland.

I’m a Scorpio, and Scorpios don’t believe in astrology . . .

:D

“grain of salt”? Really? Actually, for a six year old, Calvin’s logic is perfect. Waterson’s joke is obviously on those who are unable to progress from naive or unenlightened logic not based in reality.

A full horoscope requires a whole shipload of salt!! Many people are born at the exact same second, so would they all have the same horoscope?

Horoscopes aren’t “science” Calvin.

His whole problem stems from the fact that he only has 8 fingers and 8 toes. Horoscopes are for 10 fingers and 10 toes kind of people.

The Utah salt flats wouldn’t be enough.

Maybe, Maybe not.

After all tomorrow is another day.

LOL xxx

And some horoscopes go by date of conception instead of birth. Same 50/50 results.

A recent poll showed that more people knew their sign than what knew their blood type.(Very useful info if you land in the ER!)

Does this sound like politicians giviing ex post facto explanations, or is it just me?

As I stated with respect to a previous strip, Calvin was reading the horoscope for the wrong day, and, now that I think about it, maybe the wrong lifetime….have a great weekend, folks…khp<><

Horoscopes are from the devil, Calvin. 3:)

You mean something that was printed in the newspaper was wrong? I am shocked. I would get a lawyer and sue them.

Hm the horoscopes I read are always 100% true. In fact today mine said “A comic featuring a boy and a stuffed tiger will be discussing how horoscopes not on this oage is always wrong”

Horoscopes are notoriously wrong! If they weren’t, I’d have won the lottery at least a hundred times by now!!!!!

;-)

It bugs me they use the word science. I am sure it is part of the joke. But it irks me. Horoscopes are a sham not a science. I hate to think how many people believe them.

As the eightball used to answer “Outlook not so good”

be smart Hobbes….

Thats a lot to have on your mind just before you fall asleep.

coughsYes Calvin. An apology.
