Anyone else get a mental picture of a young Robert Englund in the “V” miniseries? “Mousey, mousey …”
attyush said, 7 months ago

What do you call an angry owl?
A growl.

ha ha ha. slapping my head and ROTFL

That’s so funny I’ll slap attyush’s head too. ¦-]

I love how sympathetic Hobbes is.

Hey Calvin, it only took you half a day to make that one, make another before dinnertime, or else start looking for mice.

Of course, you could be like the owl in Gordo. He was prone to swooping in and snatching Gordo’s tamales, enchiladas etc. You might have to get Hobbes to open a door or window, though.

Mousies what I loves to eat.

Trust Hobbes to engage in an irrelevant exercise in the middle of a crisis. Say, you don’t think he’s one of those politicians who are supposed to be getting us out of the present economic mess, do you?
Leonardeuler said, 7 months ago

Is there any economic mess going around ? Good grief, I didn’t know that.
Leonardeuler said, 7 months ago

Hobbes should try one of the following things:

Replace the solar cells in the transmogrifier.
Add a few drops of oil.
Shake well before use.
LX013 said, 7 months ago

It’s better not to try such inventions,hope the transmogrifier will work again, poor Calvin, hope you will not have to eat mice!
yow4zip said, 7 months ago

Calvin was on “Family Guy” on Sunday.
ana_demeter said, 7 months ago

Here’s one that’s even worse that atyush’s: What’s the world’s most common type of owl? A “Teet Owl” (saying it out loud helps!)
Greeneyed Texan said, 7 months ago

I believe HOBBES knows how to turn him back but is having some fun with his old buddy before doing so. Yea HOBBES!

(spoiler). Gist of something soon to be said by Hobbes: “But owls don’t have to endure Ms. Wormwood’s boring class”.
coltish1 said, 7 months ago

jaydubya: Your little ditty was penned by that all-time brilliant cartoonist, Kliban. It was sung by a guitar-playing cat folk singer in a volume of cartoons called “Cats: One Hell of a Nice Animal, Frequently Mistaken for a Meat Loaf.”
♠Lonewolf♠ said, 7 months ago

Good ole Hobbes. Always concerned about his buddy Calvin.
Northwoodser said, 7 months ago

Love Hobbes’ contortions in panel 3
Doctor Toon said, 7 months ago

The transmogrifier is working just fine. Hobbes just keeps picturing Calvin as an owl.
Mowgli-Chiara said, 7 months ago

LOL!!! Wakening up every morning to this comic (watch Hobbes expressions is priceless) and to all yours comments make my day a lot better.
Silverpearl said, 7 months ago

Calvin needs help thinking? Owls are supposed to be wise.
bald 716 said, 7 months ago

hobbs was easily distracted, after all he is a stuffed animal,so it’s all good, he’ll fix the transmogrifier in plenty of time before mom comes in the room
Macushlalondra said, 7 months ago

I still keep wondering what’s gonna happen when Mom calls him for dinner!
cleokaya said, 7 months ago

CALVIN think on the positive side. You can fly and you can stay up all night.
midiranger said, 7 months ago

A screech owl!
musicnut1986 said, 7 months ago

I’m impressed that Calvin can actually fly, as demonstrated in the third and forth panels. What an imagination Calvin has.
bmonk said, 7 months ago

He he he he! Poor Calvin. And Hobbes won’t forget the stupid mice! I do love his face in panel 3, and Calvin’s growing horror and frustration. He he he!

Joy & Dryshta? Where have you two gone? Miss your posts! Only saw one Dryshta and 2 Joy posts yesterday!

JFrisch419…I’m rat cheer. ;-)
How are you? . I’ve had errands etc so didn’t leave time for Funnin’. Getting back to norm, today.

Smiles and a good day to you!!
JFri said, 7 months ago

Joy, good to hear from you! Always make time for the comics so will always have a smile in your heart!
Dry said, 7 months ago

JFrisch419, didn’t realize you were following Joy & I. I have been busy lately. I get on here often from work and the past couple days, I’ve actually been doing what they pay me to do :-)!

Joy Good morning, (or afternoon) it’s 12 Noon now!

Have a good day today, Tabby!
Wildmustang1262 said, 7 months ago

I am sure Hobbes loves to aggravate on Calvin for not changing him back to normal with that transmogrifier. I still think the transmogrifier is malfunctioned. Tsk, tsk! Calvin, speak, “Who! Hoot! Who! Hoot!”
N7326 Foxtrot said, 7 months ago

And he thought he was in trouble when he was tied to the chair!

PS..Love to eat them mousies…. came from a book of cat cartoons by B. Kliban, if I remember correctly.

jaydubya58: N7326F beat me to it…That is from a B Kliban cartoon:

Nothing. He went back to the Suzerain program.
prasrinivara said, 7 months ago

(spoiler) for Macush: mum can’t see the effects of the transmogrifier; but she will have an alternative to mice which will at least be less unacceptable to Calvin.
katisha said, 7 months ago

All this talk of Kliban’s mousie song reminded me of Mason Williams (yes, I’m OLD) and his Them Poems. E.g.:
How ‘bout them tummy gummers, ain’t they dummies?
Havin’ they fun of gummin’ their tummies.
Gummin’ them haunches out of they mind.
Runnin’ ‘round shoutin’, “It’s tummy gummin’ time!”
Lookit them tummy gummers, lurkin’ in the yard,
waitin’ for a jelly belly, catch it off guard.
Them hell-bent tummy gummers, ain’t they dummocks?
Runnin’ through the neighborhood, gummin’ them stomachs.
How to be a tummy gummer, no way to shun it.
Grab an abdomen and rear off and gum it!

SQUIDBREAKER said, 7 months ago

Maybe should put more faith in the God who created the world instead of his scirntific gobbledygook :)
Being a human being is better than being an animal! Hopefully he will learn his lessons well and we’ll see what Hobbes can figure out to help Calvin. Stay tuned…..

Good heavens, EMET—God LOVES Calvin and Hobbes and owls and tigers—and so do we!

Their little claws probably are scratchy, too!

They wiggle all the way down. I just know it.

Katisha: I’ve got Mason’s album (33 1/3 rpm vinyl) of “them” songs (somewhere). My favorite was always
“Them Toad Suckers”
