Whether a poignant look at serious family issues or a round of time-travel (with the aid of a well-labeled cardboard box), Calvin and Hobbes will astound and delight you.

The plastic fangs will endow the wearer with panache.

He’s getting there. Plastic fangs will work for crushing and devouring jello.

In the third panel, Calvin does have the PANACHE in a way? lol
btw, Hes sooooo cute!
Leonardeuler said, 7 months ago
The first panel is fantastic: the way Hobbes is holding the marker, sitting on one knee, his tongue sideway is mouth, saying:” Hold still …..”. Bill Watterson realy is (was ?) a genuis.

According to WIKIPEDIA, as of 2008 Bill Watterson is still alive. The real question is how do we get him to come out of retirement?
juntingyeung said, 7 months ago
so does this mean we are looking at out-of-date but still tiger-ish comics?
rshive said, 7 months ago
Panache is nice to have.
prasrinivara said, 7 months ago
He actually could pass for a tiglon (or should it be liger?) in panels 2-4.

Look at these every day and marvel at Watterson’s talent. Appreciate your comments and look forward to reading them, too!

Calvin better be carefull. Hobbes doesn’t have room in this strip for another tiger.

The pinned tail looks ready made for Calvin’s rear but didn’t realize Hobbes was left-handed… What a Hoot!

Hobbes has so much panache that surely he can lend some to Calvin.
Tammylynn, margueritem, joy and carmy; are we seeing the real deal in your avatars. If so beauty abounds at gocomics?

It would be nice, but reading his intro in the Complete Calvin and Hobbes(see advert up and to the right of this comment), makes me think that is highly unlikely…

And if this doesn’t work, try the transmogrifier, Calvin!

If Hobbes is using a permanent marker, I can’t wait to hear the tigerish growl from his mother.
prasrinivara said, 7 months ago
musicnut1986, she’s already had experience of similar after Hobbes shaved Calvin bald and then coloured his head yellow–same solution (odious for Calvin, a bath) will be used!

Vampire fangs? This brings back memories of when I was a kid and had a pair of those. I was pretending to be a vampire because of my favorite show “Dark Shadows.”
Dino-1 said, 7 months ago
I think he makes a grreat tiger. Mom will definitely not be pleased and probably scrub the byjeesers out of him. My son did a similar thing when he and his friends were wearing, “army paint”. The school was more upset than I was and said, “It was disruptive to the class”. I told them they better get used to it because he’d be looking that way for awhile.

Good job Calvin!!
cleokaya Yes! We were challenged!! We have virtual parties at Big Top join us! :-)
BTW did you say “beauty abounds at Gocomics?” (question?)? or “beauty abounds at Gocomics!” (exclamation!) !!!
Our guys promised to put up their likenesses to, but some are having a hard time. Men just don’t seem to have a lot of pixes around unless with fish or deer! :-D

Sorry tabbylynn and Joy618. I knew that I had something wrong with the way that I’d written your name tabbylynn, but I couldn’t figure out what. I apologize. And Joy that was meant to be a compliment. I had forgotten I had broken the thought into two sentences. The question mark was supposed to follow the word avatars and a period should have ended the second. It is nice to put a face to those one gets to know. We reveal so much about ourselves everyday, but it’s in such a unique setting.
