Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 06, 2012

There will be more disappointments in the future.

the real acid test is if you be a friend to someone and then don’t expect it to be returned

What would Calvin know about an “acid test?”

hobbes would give you a push

When Moe pushes him, he complains.

Wait till you try getting someone to help you move to a new appt.Beside Mom and Dad, they do not count.

Kick your feet out and back, and ignore that moron bluskies, who clearly has no clue how to properly get going on a swing!

Perhaps Hobbes will drop by!

Thirdguy: Why would you call anyone on here a moron? We all love Calvin & Hobbes and come on here to be entertained, not abused. And actually that way works as well.

It can be very trying …just waiting for someone to give a nice push..@bluskies swing is tied high enough for his feet to not touch the ground….can’t do it himself…

I’m sure Hobbes is on his way!

Calvin is right though. A true friend is always there for you.

no friends – np – start getting pushy Calvin…

can Hobbes give a push ha ha haa….

swinging is so overrated.

Pump your legs and get going. No pushes should be necessary.

Hobbes will be happy to give you a push – when you’re standing next to a mud hole. Come to think of it, Susie would probably be happy to help you out too, in the same situation.

Am I the only one that thinks that in the last panel, Calvin kinda looks like Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars? (I will teach you the daaahhhhhrrrrrrkkkkk side of the force!)

I think if his interactions with Susie is any indication, Calvin fails his own acid test.

Poor Calvin. That situation really is just base. ;P

And when was the last time you did anything nice for anyone, Calvin?

Calvin’s face is PRICELESS in the Last Panel.

LOL xxx

I guess that’s too much work for him! : )

Does he even have any friends other than Hobbes?

Wait until he grows up and applies for a loan.

Calvin is too short to pump himself.

Yeah to those who mentioned Moe. Be careful what you wish for Calvin. Moe fails only classroom tests.

Same with me. Sigh!

When push comes to shove, Moe will be there.

I appreciate a little push from my friends now and again. I like to reciprocate, too, because it’s fun to watch them achieve. Just try to make sure the push is gentle and not a shove!

You’re too bratty to be pushed, Calvin!

3:)

He’s not talking about the drug acid, is he?

Calvin – you better hope Moe doesn’t hear you and decide to give you a push…his face in the last panel reminds me a bit of my grandfather…hahahaha….

Instead of complaining (acid test of friendship), pump those little legs. I’d swing faster if I did that!

And though he set one free, 3 more got in the house while he did his good deed.

I’m an adult but I would love to have a swing in our yard. Lots of time to think with the wind blowing in my face… (sigh)

To all who mentioned “his legs are too short”, etc.- I’d remind you that they were long enough to get his butt up there in the first place.

Not as hilarios

I’ve been stranded on a swing before too.
