Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 16, 2012

Calvin’s pitch is off alright… by at least 25 degrees.

She sure thinks something’s off.

A real misunderstood artist.

I think the pitch Calvin is trying in the fourth panel is also off.

I got new dentures yesterday, now I cannot speek and not sing, pitch is off!! I go to dentist on Monday and hope, he can change this, not to be able to speek and sing is not fine!!

Well I sure didn’t belch the alphabet or anything else. I was tought to say “Excuse me”. And I’d get the dirtiest of looks until I did.

What would you wanna be Calvin?

A genuine talent, I am genuinely impressed.Of course, not as impressive as my late Father’s farts. He was a maestro.

Calvin’s performance was music to his ears, but not to his mom’s.

There must be at least 2,847 Garfield strips on related topics, but let’s just go with this one:Click here: Garfield (February 7, 2012)

Burpitone: somewhere between baritone and bass.

What a pick-up line: “I play first chair belch for the philharmonic.”

In some cases the magic word is ‘’Now!’’.

There was a guy on Sportscenter’s 10 Worst list yesterday who burped continuously for about the equivalent of 6 panels (12 seconds), so you got some more work to do, Calvin, if you want the record.

Hi JohnnyDiegoIn that case, here’s a second Garfield to add to your limited collection:Click here: Garfield (May 18, 2002)

I remember another CandH strip where, when he burbs, his mom asks, "What do you say and C answers something about a barge – sorry about the diacritical keys – I m in Norway for a few days and I m not used to the keyboard

When he gets older he can join the Professional Belchers association (there really is one)

My wife can belch the preamble to the Constitution. Sometimes she belches so loud in restaurants that people are startled…being the gentleman I am, I usually look embarrassed at them and apologize as if it were me. Normal bodily function (along with farting) that God gave us to show his sense of humor. Great fun!

You pitched the wrong assertion to mom, Calvin.

Mom shouldn’t feed Calvin food that makes him burp!

Calvin got his comeuppance!

Love it, love it, love it!!! His face in the first two panels is hilarious!!! And all of your comments make it even better! I can’t stop laughing!

I had an uncle who, when one of us kids would burp or belch, would ask “What d’ya say?” We’d say “Excuse me.” He’d say, “No. You say, ‘It tasted better on its way down’…”

Calvin was born years too late for his talent. He would have been a great addition to Spike Jones and his City Slickers with all the Burps and Gluck Glucks thrown in.

As taught to me years ago;“A burp is but a gentle breeze,Erupting from the heartBut ere it take a downward course,It turneth to a fart.”

@Snoopy_Fan, I had an old Platoon Sergeant that used to say “Funny I don’t remember eating that!” or “Pardon me, I normally just throw up!”

Better out than in…

LOL xxx

Calvin already is a soloist, in the sense that he is a loner!

Disgusting, but at least it came out the top end!

Great volume,

tone not bad,reaction from Mom too severe.

I saw a TV show once where a kid burped out Jingle Bells all the way through.

Yeah Calvin, you should have pitched it as the sound of a growling beast after its pray!!!

So Calvin becomes The Great Wakkorotti then…

Oh my, I can’t stop laughing about these comments!UncaJim, I LOVE the little poem! I get more of a kick out of the comments than I do from Calvin himself! Thanks for the laughs!

Rude and gross! :-(

funny lol

Calvin singing “El Solo Belcho” from some sort of Italian opera – not too sure of the composer, tho’….

But instead he grew up and became Frazz the Janitor!

My Aussie brother-in-law will say “A little more gas and you’d have started!” when someone farts.

I think that sounded like a masterpiece!

Calvin is singing (off key) for his supper …

He should have said, “My compliments to the chef!”.

Belches usually happen when one eats too fast and air pockets form…Some of the best belches are created from shot-gunning beers !

Stop that!
