    Calvin,it seems like you may get your wild streak from Uncle Max.

    Yes children find adults give them a pain in the neck and then they stop looking up to adults. It is downhill from there.

    (Hmm this came after Yukoner but appears before it. Curious.)

    Hmmm. Max may have a sense of children after all. He gets his head down almost to the level of Calvin’s. That’s a good way to give a child a sense of well being and assurance. Max may have redeemed his faux pas from yesterday.

    A killer’s eye ? Not that one, the other one.

    He’s not only got a way with children but also with tigers.

    Before anyone else get the chance to post this, let me be the first lol.

    It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
    Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
    And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
    And he’s watchin’ us all in the eye of the tiger

    Predictable I know :(

    Not sure which of these is the most applicable :)

    Zeah Uncle Max has realy some imagination. And it makes question: If He has big imagination and Calvin has big (huge) imagination is uncle Max just uncle??
    ;)

    it doesn’t really matter what you lot think of uncle max… he’s not gonna be coming back, I read ages ago that Bill watterson didn’t get on with him, because he never wanted to give calvin’s parents names, there were only so many ways max can talk to his brother (like yesterday’s strip, “nice kid bro”) without using a name…..

    on a personal level, i’d never noticed before, but he doesn’t half “date” the strip, calvin % hobbes are timeless…. that shirt max is wearing…..not so timeless.

    I was always the favorite among my ex-wfes’ nieces and nephews. They called me the world’s biggest kid.

    Uncle Max and Dad may need a paternity test.

    methinks ole hobbes is going to put the eye thing to task for a while lol

    Hullo Mr Squire,
    I never realized that Calvin’s parents are nameless!
    JonD17, Mr. Squire appears to be British. “You lot” isn’t an insult.
    Cuppa tea, anyone?

    Calvin’s defensive nature is melting a little… Will he invite Uncle Max to sleep in his room under the eye of the tiger???

    DreamScourge: “cream” of the fight??? It’s the THRILL of the fight. “Cream” makes no sense.

    Win the tiger over and ya got the kid, Max. Good move.

    You are right, but it doesn’t really matter. The lyrics were really lame, even in it’s day.

    “Win the tiger over and you got the kid”? Except Suzy wooed and won Hobbes, and Calvin still thinks she should “Drop Dead!” (Not to mention his club “Get Rid Of Slimy girlS.)

    I wonder which one, too!

  23. fidget360

    fidget360 said, 9 months ago

    musicnut1986 I can understand it being cream. Cream rises to the top right? ergo: the eye of the tiger is the cream of the fight rising up to the challenge of our rivals. :D

    Yes, I know, you are correct however, it is the thrill of the fight.

    Wildmustang1262 said, 9 months ago

    Ha! It is funny but other way it is so peculiar.

    Marg, you say that you think it’s your right eye… I figure that out. I guess Hobbes already opened his left eye and his right eye already closed. :-]

    Maybe Calvin will get along with Uncle Max after all, now he thinks he’s pretty sharp, more so than Dad. But that doesn’t mean he’s ready to give up his room to him.

    Oh, Hobbes! You crack me up! “I wonder which one”. Hoo! Ha!

    DreamScourge, thanks for sharing! Always loved that song! And the original Rocky. I vote for video # 2. LOOKS JUST LIKE HOBBES! :-)

    I asked my Philosophy class to read this and see if they could figure out why he’s called Hobbes when they read “Leviathan.’ We’ll see what they come up with!…

    I suspect Calvin would miss his Uncle Max very much after the visit.

  30. Leonardeuler

    The reverse will certainly not be true, don’t you think ?

  31. cleopv154

    cleopv154 said, 9 months ago

    yeah I have feeling Hobbes is gonna like this guy,

    Good boy Uncle Max… Beware of the fierce tiger…

    @Jon17 - “you lot” is British for “y’all”.

  34. mrprongs

    mrprongs said, 9 months ago

    I guess Calvin get it from his paternal side

  35. allyheartz

    allyheartz said, 9 months ago

    Teehee, Uncle Max is going along with Calvin.
    Unmarried men are usually a lot more childlike and love playing along with kids.

  36. DreamScourge

    DreamScourge said, 9 months ago

    My mistake on the lyrics, I was being lazy and just copy and pasted from a lyrics site, didn’t even read lol, surprisingly quite a few sites quote the wrong word there ^^

    I’d agree with fidget360 tho’ in retrospect there’s a phrase ‘cream of the crop’ where I come from, meaning the best there is. I think it should be a requirement that all artists publish the lyrics to all their song on the album sleeve… Um I mean CD cover ^^

    thanks mivins - for defending me in my absence!! as said, no offence meant, language is a funny thing isn’t it, I didn’t see JonD’s comment so not quite sure what offence was taken, but no issues there eh?. so long as we all enjoy the strip.
