Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 27, 2012

The imagination of a 6 year old will always beat out virtual reality.

Stupendous is back!

Imagination always wins with Calvin!

Imagine there’s no Heaven why in helll would I

“Highway to Hell” AC/DC: 1979

you may say I’m a dreamer

Calvin’s imagination gets the best of him.; for example, Hobbes.

Was this the first time we saw Stupendous Man? Hobbes? Anyone?

The essence of low-grade trolling. I love it.

It’s best you not imagine what I think of John Lennon’s empty philosophy. Its more self-consistent practitioners ruined or destroyed tens if not hundreds of millions of lives.On the other hand, Lennon made some interesting confessions to his longtime agent about what his beliefs and doubts really were and if I could remember exactly how to find the source, I’d point you to it. He got wiser with age, it seems.

Dogsniff, are you well again?

There are no tears in Heaven

Susie should appreciate the reality of the situation: She was visited by Calvin and has virtually nothing on her. (i.e. water balloon, beach ball sized snow ball, mud, etc.)

Without a doubt Stupendous Man will transform into The Awesome One before he reaches twelve.

Written by someone in the bathroom?

The first people that suffer under Capitalism are the poor too. Reckon there’s a pattern?

Is “Kapwinnnggg” sort of like “Shwiiinnnggg”? Just asking…

What’s the point in having a secret identity, if everyone recognizes you? How did Suzie know that Stupendous Man is really meek, mild-mannered Calvin?

where did you go and are you well ?

Yep. Missed you. Look for your comments every day!

What is he using for a mask?

Exactly. People continue to buy the idea that the government will take care of their every need when in fact, evil people triumph when the populace gives the power to the government. They can control the populace like a puppet on a string. People never learn from history. It is a shame.

After that sudden appearance and departure, I can see Susie’s pail, … or is it pale?

I personally like that song, and think it’s quite intelligent, but that’s just me. Hope you like the link.

Scientologist? Don’t you mean these guys in BBC panorama?

Just wondering. : )

Cannot agree more.

Stupendous Man has the power to annoy Susie Derkins. Bum, bum, bum!

I had rather live my life looking forward to the joys of heaven and find out there isn’t one than live believing it doesn’t exist and find out it does!!

Stupendous, -pendous man….I want to be a Stupendous man…..

I think this is a commentary on how girls’ imaginary play is expected to be much more grounded in reality than boys’. I mean, for every she-ra and my little pony there are like thirty superheroes, not even counting the ones that boys make up on their own.

Susie thinks Calvin is virtually insane?

Boys will be Boys…

LOL xxx

Long live Stupendous Man!

Calvin is alone… he needs REAL friends

I was tinking of a song, the same song just more rational

I’m such a computerloser, too, sorry. Always I must beg my son for help. When he was a little child he came to me with his questions and I was proud to help him. One day everything turned round and he couldn’t understand this for a long time!

You’re not a loser with computers at all. I just made a bad link. Sorry about that. I’m not that good at links. You have to copy the URL, and then paste it in the search bar. Or you could just go on youtube and type in the song. Hope this helps. : )

“The Longest Cocktail Party”. A book written by one of The Beatles’ insiders. I forget who. Someone who was there. I used to have a copy but I loaned it out and never got it back.

 

I really hate it when that happens! That’s why I no longer loan out any of my things (especially books, CDs and DVDs) to anybody — no matter who they are. I’ve lost too many things to people in the past — even people I thought I could trust — who had absolutely no idea that the word “loan” meant they only had temporary use of whatever it was they were “borrowing” and when they were done with it, they were then supposed to give it back . . . only they didn’t — or wouldn’t (not sure which).

 

:-(

Did you see my comment the other day? I know there were lots of them.

You’ve been in my thoughts though and still are.

Calvin is beyond it all, no question….

Scientology And Me (Full Documentary)

 

Imagine – The Beatles – John Lennon

Susie appears to have all the imagination and indulgence of a CPA.

How is it that no one recognized Clark Kent and Superman as being one-in-the-same person — not even a journalist as “smart” as Lois Lane (and he didn’t even wear a mask!) . . . but Susie Derkins had absolutely no problem at all immediately recognizing Calvin as being Stupendous Man?!? Obviously, Clark Kent wasn’t surrounded by people that were anywhere near as smart as the people in Calvin’s life!!!!!

 

;-)

The world needs more kids like Calvin:imaginative but sometimes logical,hyperactive but sometimes contemplative,individualist but sometimes a great friend(with Hobbes, most times)

I got so far behind on my GoComics and am very glad to hear you’re feeling better. Please be sure to take the advice of your medical personnel. Blessings!

@ Dogsniff:Hope you’re feeling better. Based on your earlier post regarding the cadre of healthcare personnel around you, this one’s for you…
