Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 14, 2012

Uh-oh…

See Hobbes looking in the third panel, it’s the look of a guilty!

This is one of those storylines where Calvin shows a profoundly worrying tendency to schizophrenia.. Love it. ;)

She really had to ask??

Moms out,Hobbes looks so guilty .We should blame Hobbes just on looks.

He doesn’t us scissors. He cuts with his claws.

Dad???

Oh, okay…I confess….I did it.

Hmm. This would seem to indicate that Calvin is schizophrenic.

Maybe using Moms magazine will get undesirable results for guilty.

maybe he is .. ha ha..

Fur sure.

Oh dear….

Is Hobbes the bully? Tune in tomorrow……

Hobbes = Tyler Durden

I did it and I’m glad.

I always knew it! (And so did my mother!)

Why I’m not surprised?

Not schizophrenic, but multiple personality syndrome, also a very serious psychiatric disorder. Thank goodness it’s only a cartoon.

I thought it was Susie.

The thought plickens…!

Yes Cult, I agree, Hobbes exists.

Hobbes did it….in the library….with scissors. Game over.

Or, given that its a comic, maybe Hobbes really IS alive when nobody (except Calvin) is watching.

WOO good curve!

Sorry, but this story line is dragging on way too long.

See? Like I said, Hobbes did it!

Hobbes’ face in the 3rd Panel looks like a bit of a giveaway…

Hope I’m wrong…

LOL xxx

For everyone who thinks Hobbes is 100% imaginary, as Watterson himself asked: how do you explain the strip where Calvin plays Houdini and Hobbes ties him to the chair in a way nobody could do it alone? Watterson refuses to give a direct answer, but that’s as close as he comes to saying Hobbes is more than just Calvin’s imagination.

Let’s face it. We ALL have wanted to send a cut up magazine letter to someone… just ONCE…!! … or is it just me?

It’s like I’ve heard for years – even a tame tiger will probably turn on you sooner or later. Look at Siegfried and Roy and that white tiger of theirs. Wow!

Schizophrenia or Multiple Personality Disorder. Aside from being Politically Correct, a nut is a nut is a nut. Explaining how Hobbes was able to pull off the scam without Calvin’s involvement sounds like the theologians explaining the discrepancies of the Bible: “You gotta have FAITH”. That being said; Let’s stop trying to find fault with something that’s designed to entertain us. Calvin is a fantastic little boy, living in a fantasy environment. Can you imagine how great it would have been to grow up like Calvin.

Sooooooo… his imaginary tiger cut it out and sent it to him? Unless the first story arc was a magic genie that brought his tiger to life only for his eyes, I think Calvin needs to get one of those special padded suites and the fancy jackets with the really long sleeves. :-s LOL!

yes, don’t nobody leave the room, everybody leave the room

What if Calvin’s just the only one brilliant to see Hobbes for what he really is?

In todays world he would have to cut ‘n paste to his IPhone for the same gag. Just ain’t the same world, man.

It has to be dad. Hobbes isn’t real, remember?

I absolutely LOVE Calvin and Hobbes since I was a kid! It always makes me feel nostalgic.

If Hobbes is behind it, I think Calvinis truely crazy

I love Calvin’s expression in panel 3. Also, Hobbes’s suspicious look.

Hmmm at least it’s someone in the house.

I don’t know what you’re talking about! Hobbes is just as real to me as he is to Calvin . . . and all the voices in my head agree with me too!!!!! (Kidding, of course!)

;-)

As Xane_T said, Hobbes’ level of existence was never firmly established throughout the run of the comic. He was both as “real” and imaginary as the situation and the reader needed/wanted him to be. Part of the charm.

Hobbes knows it’s Calvin.

Maybe Calvin is just a six-year-old boy with a vivid imagination. Or better yet, maybe this is a comic strip and trying to diagnose a cartoon character is just a little bit silly.

Seems that all this psychobabble reveals OCD among the commentators. An obsessive compulsion to make logical sense of a comic strip character. bizaker just called that “a little bit silly.” I disagree. If you really do have OCD, it is sad. If you are just being pompous, it’s stupid. If you are just joking around, ha-ha.

the culprit has been found. cant wait for tomorrow’s strip

A Calvin and Hobbes whodunit. I like.

Calvin is the only one who can see Hobbes as what he really is!

Somebody is a real cutup!

It’s Calvin’s other personality sending those letters.

Hobbes is rolling his eyes in response to “He’s a mastermind..”

Hobbes!

Oh, that Hobbes—he’s such a cut-up!

hobbs did it.

Not so much schizophrenia, more multiple personality disorder.

the thing is calvin is CRAZY!!! blacking himself he really does have time on his hands…… kml

NO MORE RERUNS!!

lol its hobbes
