Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes has been a worldwide favorite since its introduction in 1985. The strip follows the richly imaginative adventures of Calvin and his trusty tiger, Hobbes. 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.

That’s a hint designed to cause worry and consternation, and it’s working.

This is great fun so Hobbes is playing this game for as long as he can or at lease until he gets bored of it.

The bigger question is what they traded to get Calvin…

Wait, i want to know what Calvin was going to say about how he thought his parents got him…i think at one time his dad said he was a “blue light special” at the K-mart…

I’d say his parents got fleased!
Tiger, Tiger, smirking with delight
teasing ‘til he gets a fight
Who dares with mimicry
to mock thy fearful symmetry?

They got you for a pile of fleas Calvin. Why do you think it’s called a flea market?
LX013 said, 6 months ago
Hobbes has the furcoat, fleas must be with him!

I ran a booth at a flea market for about ten years. My son grew up going with me and helping out.
I remember this comic from the newspaper. I also remember telling my son I got him at the flea market.
He remembers, too. He also remembers looking for the booth that sold kids. - LOL

I love Calvin expression. ‘Ok, Shoot’ and then the bewilderment! You gotta love Tigers!
Calvinator said, 6 months ago
The real question is wehere did they get the enchanted tigrer.
prasrinivara said, 6 months ago
Hint Calvin: they fell asleep in a bed on sale at flea market and the “stork visited”.
(stolen from Doug Adams’ So Long And Thanks For All The Fish, where Fenchurch tells Arthur that she was conceived in left-luggage office at Fenchurch St. station).

My parents were an ugly lot,
They made me out of sand and snot.
But I’ve overcome,
I’m the handsome one.
And everyone else is NOT…
JonD17 said, 6 months ago
well, that could explain one thing; most Flea Markets have a NO RETURN policy.. Wow, Hobbes, you are a Master of Evil!!

Another snooty expression from Hobbes. Hmmmmmmmmmmm
calvindino said, 6 months ago
In the flea market,
Inside a little basket,
They found a baby boy,
Who, they thought, would bring them joy,
But, he played only with the tiger toy.

ggwwtt said, 6 months ago
Masterful, perfect…Every older brother (even a nice one like me) does the where you came from thing to the little guy sometime…but few a smooth as this.
Richard said, 6 months ago
In the third panel, Calvin throwing a hissy fit is beautiful.
grazer said, 6 months ago
It’s clear neither one of them know a thing about how babies are hatched.
attyush said, 6 months ago
Time for Calvin’s dad to tell him about the “bird and the fleas”

Now and then, I go to Costco and see someone with a baby in the cart. I’ve never been able to see where they get them.

Oh–oh! The facts of life according to Hobbes. At least, it’s more creative than the stork or the cabbage patch.

ninmas, keep commenting on the comics you read. I’ve been reading your comments all along. The more you comment, the quicker the rest of us get to know you. What happens, happens. Followers are kind of a natural progression of people getting to know you. Some people are interested in seeing what you have to say on a regular basis. Some people just have enough time to make their own comments. We’re glad you’re part of the group.
