    I like this idea. I could get used to doing nothing.

    Nothing multiplies or compounds like nothing.

    And doing nothing with a friend is like nothing else…

    Doing nothing with your best friend is one of the joys of life.

    Wow cool down moronbis :)
    I agree with you.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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? :)

    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.

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

    There is nothing quite like sharing a relaxing moment with a special friend.

  36. billdi

    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.

    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?

    Quality time with your best friend - few and far between are those times but when they occur there special!

    I love this particular strip. More heartwarming than funny, but still has a joke in there.

    Perfect afternoon! No parents, Rosalyn, school, or anything!

    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.

    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.

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