cleokaya said, 5 months ago

The dirt collects on me too after spending all the time I do watering.
Margueritem said, 5 months ago

Cleo, just turn that hose on yourself, no clothes to get wet….

O.k. let’s see what we have here, how the heck is that kid so dang smart when he’s not in school. I can’t wait to see how this strip turns out. Please people the spoil it for me with your answers. I want to see for myself.

To introduce myself, I’m from Japan and have been reading these comments for quite a while. Thought of posting occasionally, if I had something to.

wolfbyte36,

how the heck is that kid so dang smart when he’s not in school. ?
May be because the school forces him to learn things, unlike paleontology which he likes and learns.

Oh Hobbes you’re so clever hahahaha!!

Kid are born curious. They’re born scientists. When a kid gets some spoons and saucepans and bangs them together, we discourage it as mischief, but that’s an experiment in acoustics!

Calvin do it back to Hobbes! I’d love to know how old he is.

Hi Ladywolf17 and Chamin… hi everyone else for that matter! :-)

I did an archeological dig in my back yard once. I dug halfway to China, almost 12 inches down, and found the jawbone of a PTuiosaur that looked most remarkably like a rusted crescent wrench…
prasrinivara said, 5 months ago

One defect in that green_engineer; Hobbes licks himself clean, so the age will always come out as “1 day”.
Yukoneric said, 5 months ago

Love it.
Coffee-Turtle said, 5 months ago

That’s what little boys are really made of…
SQUIDBREAKER said, 5 months ago

And you can also tell that there was a worldwide flood because fossils are found at elevations that are higher than Calvin’s head .
Bdaysuit said, 5 months ago

Welcome Chamin.

I’m guessing dad will not be too thrilled with the excavation going on in the yard

TapiocaHead said, 5 months ago

I did that too! Then I took the corroded old jawbone down to Sears and they gave me a spankin’ new Craftsman wrench for it.

Welcome back ladywolf.
This site is to addictive to stay away from, isn’t it?
SQUIDBREAKER said, 5 months ago

Hey doctortoon - what about me? Aren’t you glad I’m back? No one noticed I was gone…..hmmmmm.
SQUIDBREAKER said, 5 months ago

I have been called ‘the excavator’ before. It was in regard to my lack of golfing skills - gave a whole new meaning to the term ‘worm-burner’. It was more like a ‘upheave the worms that are 6 inches below the fairway then check and see if the ball moved’.

Good one Hobbes

Hobbes’ method: the long expected improvement in scientific research; immediate results without the use of complicated machinery !!
anobium625 said, 5 months ago

I missed yesterday, so I’m a day late.

When an archeologist finds a preserved mother, it is called a “mummy.”
musicnut1986 said, 5 months ago

Welcome Chamin to this board. I am impressed with your english skills.

Isn’t it amazing how Calvin struggles with simple math and history reports, yet is at an amazing skill level for a six year old when it comes to paleontology?

P.S., Calvin you need to use soap (“and with massage and a little bit of steeeeeaaaam….) to get the dirt off in the bath.

P.S., Sorry, a little Rocky Horror got thrown in there. I watched it for the umpteenth time over the weekend. I guess I’m stuck in a Time Warp.
RAZOR09 said, 5 months ago

New kid on the block here. Way to go , Hobbes! The voice of reason!?!? LOL :)
bmonk said, 5 months ago

@EMET, I noticed you were gone, but had no way to respond or get your attention…
pookid54 said, 5 months ago

EMET, we didn’t miss you because we kept busy re-reading your posts in the hopes of making some sense of them. So, it was like you were still here!!!! LOL!!!!
Nah, just kidding….a little.

WELCOME BACK LADYWOLFE AND
EMET
lightartsteacher said, 5 months ago

My youngest son is an archeologist. He always enjoys (wearing )his work and digging in it.
grazer said, 5 months ago

It’s a scientific fact—dirt rings are like tree rings when it comes to little boys.
Carmy said, 5 months ago

Hobbes is a master of thinkology!
Welcome chamin and RAZOR.
Welcome Back ladywolf and EMET.
LOL, Marg and Cleo.
Yukoner said, 5 months ago

That’s not dirt, it’s a super resistant protective coating that repels slimy girls, deflects unwanted messages from parents and allows him to easily slip into his spaceman spiff suit.
SQUIDBREAKER said, 5 months ago

@bmonk:

I couldn’t even get a hold of me for a couple of weeks. Computer went ‘boink’.

@pookid54: What happened to the nice photo? Your new image is rather austere. (spell check please) . And I can’t believe people don’t get my posts. I understand them and I know everyone else is smarter than me.
Ladywolf17 said, 5 months ago

I didn’t know you were gone EMET, welcome back. And yes doctortoon this site is so bleeep addictive to stay away from.I missed the comics, but I also missed each one of you, I do consider each one of you like family.
pookid54 said, 5 months ago

Aw EMET! You know I’m just pulling your beard!;-)
SQUIDBREAKER said, 5 months ago

I have heard of oil- pulling but never bee pulling.
‘oh death, where is thy sting?’

You are fearless, pookid54!
comicsnoob said, 5 months ago

At least Hoobs did not try to carbon date Calvin, Yet.
mottih said, 5 months ago

Nice 1 Hobbes!
musicnut1986 said, 5 months ago

Oh come on, there are NO Rocky Horror Picture Show fans on this board? I expected at least one response to the lyrics to “I Can Make You A Man” and the RHPS reference.

I can’t help myself, I relate to life (and C&H) through music.
Wildmustang1262 said, 5 months ago

Apparently, Hobbes just wipes Calvin’s wet sweating off from Calvin’s head with only one finger while Calvin digs the ground. Very interesting, eh! hee hee…

Hey WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE! Well, I rather not to put too many usernames on this comment, anyway…. Have a great day, y’all!
SQUIDBREAKER said, 5 months ago

Is carbon dating another term for inviting someone you like to a BBQ?
pookid54 said, 5 months ago

EMET (((hugs))) and I think that’s the original OED definition for BBQ!!!
bmonk said, 5 months ago

So, EMET, still interested in a discussion? Last offering is now gone past redeeming except for genii, but you name the day and place and give a question or whatever, and I’ll come.
marvee said, 5 months ago

margueritem, are you suggessting gardening in the nude?
I once tested an educational test to a first-grader. The test was to identify various pictures. He couldn’t recall the word “pyramid” so finally said “How am I supposed to know about ancient Egypt? I’m only 6.”
