That’s for me!

I’ve done that!

That looks enticing right about now!

G’Morning, Mike, Marg & Grog!

I like this idea. I could get used to doing nothing.
baslim_the_begger said, about 15 hours ago

Nothing multiplies or compounds like nothing.

And doing nothing with a friend is like nothing else…
moronbis said, about 15 hours ago

Doing nothing with your best friend is one of the joys of life.
GreenJade said, about 15 hours ago

Wow cool down moronbis :)
I agree with you.
harrietbe said, about 15 hours ago

moronbis - Enough already!!!

I love doing nothing. Don’t let myself give in to it very often, but sharing it with a friend makes it even sweeter.

Wonderful day! I agree too!

Wire Paladin!, moronbis….

Sometimes posts don’t show up until the page is reloaded. He probably had no idea his posts were making it up. I’ve had to go back and delete posts before.

@moronbis, You can delete the extra posts.
Puddleglum2 said, about 15 hours ago

That’s very clever, MontanaLady, although there were only Twelve Peers (paladins), and there are 15 moronbis repetitions. However, that’s close enough, especially since, often, more than 12 were named.
I suspect that moronbis didn’t intend this. I encountered something similar a couple days ago. I tried to edit a comment, but it kept adding, instead. Fortunately, I finally managed to get it the way I wanted it.

Today it was 27ºC with a clear sky and a gentle breeze - perfect for doing nothing.

Linda Arney,
No doubt you’ve heard of the long-running soap opera, “As the World Turns”. Mine might be called “As the Puns Proliferate”. I thank you profusely.
Calvin and I are similar in vocabulary, but not in mischief, but I do like to poke pun at an occasional de’tractor’, hoping that a ‘Caterpillar’ might turn into a butterfly.
BTW, if you were billdi, I might suspect at least a bit of satire and sarcasm, but I accept your comments at face value. billdi apparently knows the origin of Puddleglum, though, so I award him the ‘imaginery’ Silver Chair medallion that magically authorizes him to do nothing with his best friend, but he is not allowed to bind me in my moments of lucidity, or preclude my punning. billdi also is not permitted to obviate by ‘ant’icipation.

I never read those books by Lewis.
moronbis said, about 13 hours ago

sorry for the multiple posts…
I am not sure how that happened… :(

Am already used to that .. :-) ..

That’s the great thing about being retired, wife asked me “Whatcha gonna do today?

Me: Nuthin’

Wife: But that’s what you did yesterday!

Me: I know, but I’m not finished.
Bdaysuit said, about 10 hours ago

Exactly what I’m gonna do today.

**Good morning Marg!
Good morning Fran and Kizzzy!
Good Morning L’Wolf!
Good Morning Grog!**

If I could get just one day like that……
Grog said, about 9 hours ago

Move over guys. I want to help, too.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠

Way to spend a summer day! Of course it helps to be either seven or seventy… or a tiger.

13 words to describe a practice that would benefit us all.
Kab Buch said, about 8 hours ago

Years ago or decade hubby and I did just that. Did nothing sat and relaxed. We had a very hectic week. His mother had passed on, our anniversay came and went, and my ear and throat gave me very serious trouble. This was decades ago. We where just setting there and I like to read but some reason I didn’t, looked at the callendar and suprise I said I couldn’t believe it hubby wondered what I was talking about I said our anniversary came and went. That’s how tired we where.
nighthawks said, about 8 hours ago

TN-REDD said, about 8 hours ago

I am one of the best nothing do er’s that you’ll ever meet… . . …On a different note Umm Puddleglum2 Ahaa…. What ??
Johanan Rakkav said, about 7 hours ago

Calvin is the most beneficial to the world when he does nothing at all.

Um… isn’t there something wrong with that picture, blissful though it may be? :)
Lewreader said, about 7 hours ago

False pride. The repairman asked where I work and my wife replied, “He doesn’t” I prefer to think of myself as a Calvin & Hobbes like philosopher than a lazy bum.
oletimer said, about 7 hours ago

I looked at my schedule and,sonavagun, it was just like C and H’s!!
lakesnake said, about 7 hours ago

Because our business is seasonal, I get to become very practiced in doing nothing for 4 1/2 mos. every winter. Come on November!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cleokaya said, about 6 hours ago

There is nothing quite like sharing a relaxing moment with a special friend.
billdi said, about 6 hours ago

doing nothing is quite something

btw i would never preclude anyone much less the esteemed and talented puddleglum from punning to his/hers heart’s content. but if you do engage in that activity you automatically open yourself to sarcasm – which is the very nature of the pun itself.
imo the real art of the pun is not calling constant, self-congratulatory attention to it, that makes me antsy.

So much to do so little time…the Tao of Calvin…J
Kenny G said, about 6 hours ago

Sounds like my Sundays.
Puddleglum2 said, about 6 hours ago

Johanan Rakkav,
If that isn’t a rhetorical question, I opine that if Calvin helps Hobbes to do nothing, he’s not doing nothing, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
ratlum said, about 5 hours ago

Quality time.
poohbear8192 said, about 5 hours ago

I know nothing!

Nothing I do works. (very well)

Nothing doing.

Much ado about Nothing
The Sojourner said, about 5 hours ago

Quality time with your best friend - few and far between are those times but when they occur there special!
Josh said, about 5 hours ago

I love this particular strip. More heartwarming than funny, but still has a joke in there.
comicsgeniusguy said, about 5 hours ago

Perfect afternoon! No parents, Rosalyn, school, or anything!
Puddleglum2 said, about 5 hours ago

Family Circus (yesterday),
Sister: “You’ll never empty out the whole ocean yourself, PJ! Here–I’ll help you!”
They both are going to be very ‘pale’ and exhausted from overexertion. An ant has a better chance of moving a rubber tree plant.
BTW, my quotation marks and other embellishments are not for self-aggrandizement, but for clarification and making the understanding easier for people who aren’t as pun oriented, particularly if they live outside the USA and Canada and aren’t acquainted with the vagueries of the English language, although some foreigners speak and understand English better than “we” do.

TN-REDD said, about 4 hours ago

Puddleglum2 …huh? . Please don’t take anything I am about to say the wrong way . With all your BIG words that you put in each of your comments, somehow they zap all the fun out of the strip and the point at what you are trying get across. It loses it’s PUNCH. Short and pithy comments ,I beleive get the best attention.
cwreenactor said, about 4 hours ago

That works for me.
Frankr said, about 4 hours ago

TN-REDD: and yet your comment is neither short nor pithy.
TN-REDD said, about 4 hours ago

wasn’t meant to be short.Still shorter that the subject at hand. But thanks just the same ..
