    This could get real ugly…

    The drawback of the transmogrifier: the knowledge of the shooter.

    I wonder why he didn’t pronounce it: transmorgifier ?

    Calvin needs to have that exact look on his face when the rampage begins…

    Calvin has just learned one of the first rules of hunting.

    On the nail, cleokaya (spoiler: the thread of these strips will end in a “transmogrification fight” between Calvin and Hobbes….). For marg, the right word is “will” rather than “could”.

    Here, let me show you how to do this!

    prasrinivara, thanks for the heads up. The upcoming threads will be a real blast. I can’t wait.

    Now if Calvin had had to do a report on dinosaurs instead of planets…

    No, Hobbes, Pterodacytls aren’t bugs, bats are bugs! Sheesh, don’t you know anything?

    I thought Pterodactyls were reptiles and not dinosaurs…. wait a min… this is Calvin!

  16. attyush

    attyush said, 8 months ago

    Pterodactyls are gooey bugs that move very slowly. Now shoot Hobbes.

  17. bmonk

    bmonkGenius_badge said, 8 months ago

    Yes, technically pterodactyls are not dinosaurs, only a closely related order of reptiles. On the other hand, Calvin is, more or less, in the region of six years old. Like any six-year-old, he has some remarkable knowledge, in areas he’s interested in, but not in others.

    Still, given his interest in dinosaurs, it is perhaps odd he doesn’t know the distinction.

    OTOH, were Calvin to be a three foot tall fly, think of how he could gross everyone out! Yum, bugs!

    Calvin probably does know the distinction… this is just not the time to be concerned with details!

    In Pogo, the name of that creature was spelled (and pronounced) “p-tooie-daffodil”. And that’s how I think of it to this day.

    (I just signed in for the first time, because I couldn’t resist making this comment!)

    I’ve been reading everyone’s comments for months now - just felt a little shy about posting one myself - couldn’t think of anything to say.

    “then you can transmorgrify me back to a boy when the National Guard comes”!!!!

    I’m glad you posted RinaFarina! I loved Pogo and you brought back great memories!

  24. madampresiden12

    madampresiden12 said, 8 months ago

    or worse yet, Hobbes could tansmogrify Calvin into a good little boy who gets good grades, does his homework correctly and obeys his parents. Calvin srhould really be afraid.

  25. Tabby Lynn

    Tabby LynnGenius_badge said, 8 months ago

    get out while you still can Calvin, before hobbes turns you into a good boy, or worse off a bug.

  26. prasrinivara

    prasrinivara said, 8 months ago

    madampresident12, I think that requires an add-on accessory of “ethicator” (transmogrifier-gun Hobbes holds is the bare-bones Beta version).

  27. bmonk

    bmonkGenius_badge said, 8 months ago

    Or the clone box, when there were six Calvins running around…

  28. prasrinivara

    prasrinivara said, 8 months ago

    Well, bmonk–that’s another strip thread entirely (where he redesigns the clone-box with an ethicator; first time, he had transmogrified the clone-box into a transmogrifier to get rid of the six clones)

    Rina welcome! If you’ve been reading comments for a while, why be shy? There’s all sorts of people on here from the normal to the bizarre!

    Hey Marg, are we going to need another couch?

  33. mrprongs

    mrprongs said, 8 months ago

    Flying reptile. Not a dinosaur. Just like how bats are not bugs.

  34. DreamScourge

    Rina welcome! The great thing about the comments is no one knows who you are, tho’ I must admit that thought doesn’t always stop me from feeling self-conscious lol
