Hmm, bees generally target furry objects which they see as a threat. Wonder why it didn’t land on Hobbes?
kpeiyin said, 4 months ago

How could you, Hobbes??? But, hmmm, enjoy reading!
Ladywolf17 said, 4 months ago

Calvin’s shirt is red and black like a bulls-eye Jor-El maybe that is the answer or maybe Hobbes is playing a prank on Calvin.
Carmy said, 4 months ago

Looks like Calvin is trying to “bust a move.”

How can someone with the steel nerves of spaceman spiff be afraid of a bee?

Oldest trick in the book.

Agreed.
“A bee or not a bee—that is the question.”
watcha said, 4 months ago

Hobbes, your words stings just as much as the bee….
wolfbyte36 said, 4 months ago

Happy birthday Doctortoon from the wolf family.

Hobbes takes advantage of the situation.
Johanan Rakkav said, 4 months ago

What’s Hobbes worried about? For that matter, what’s Pooh worried about? They’re both stuffed with fluff; bee stings can’t affect them.

Is there a bee there?

Reminds me of an Old Joke I used to play - works especially well at outdoor ball games.
Start out by having someone guess the letter bee-ing drawn on their back with a finger. Doesn’t matter which letter - draw several of them.
Then when U draw out the letter “B” & they guess correctly,.. give them a friendly Slap on the Back - Yelling BEE!

U’d think I did this as a kid - did it as an adult to kids. Doesn’t work so well on adults - they probably did it as kids themselves.

Enjoy Life! - Play Ball If U Can = instead of Sitting In The Bleachers

That’s one way to get Calvin to move. Reverse psychology.

I knew I lost one of those bees of my beard.

No wonder he’s got a bee on his back - Friday the 13th falls on a Monday this month!
Macushlalondra said, 4 months ago

Hey Hobbes was there even a bee or did you make the whole thing up to read Calvin’s comics?
Jimmylite2008 said, 4 months ago

hobbes left a real “sting” on calvin’s day
bleepingdeadalien said, 4 months ago

@JonD17…Thank you for writing what I was thinking…

Anyway…on to today’s C&H: Tigers, ‘specially the stuffed kind, are quite literary dontcha’ know…
Cameloo said, 4 months ago

Macushlalondra-You’ll see in about a week.
yyyguy said, 4 months ago

or maybe she read it in a book? this isn’t the only place C&H has ever been. why do some people persist in being suspicious of the “wolf family” anyway? i prefer to accept all comments at face value and ignore the ones i don’t feel like reading, and i don’t understand why that is so hard for some others to do.
Rmom said, 4 months ago

yyyguy - I was also thinking she might have read it in a book. There are several C & H books still in print.
Tabby Lynn said, 4 months ago

yyyguy and rmom i read it in a book and im 19. i was in the book store and picked up a comic book turned out to be Calvin and Hobbes. i got a good laugh and i saw this one.
dudeabideshou said, 4 months ago

Can’t help wondering: Reading a comic book doesn’t damage it in any way; in fact, coming along later you couldn’t even tell someone else had been reading the comic book earlier. So why does Calvin fret?
mjw22307 said, 4 months ago

Calvin frets because he can’t be there to keep an eye on Hobbes and make sure he takes good care of his comics… you know because of the apparent bee on his back. Either that or he’s just stingy.

All I know for sure is that Hobbes is a riot lol
Wildmustang1262 said, 4 months ago

Hobbes gives Calvin another terrible trick! Hobbes can read Calvin’s comic again! LOLs!
stupendousman6 said, 4 months ago

I’m kind of stupid with bees. I try to smack them and irritate them. Then again, Ive never been stung. Maybe my method works
StradMan37 said, 4 months ago

Oh, Calvin, BEE quiet - you BEE messin’ wit my concentration, cain’t you BEE seein’ dat??? BEE-brain!
Ladywolf17 said, 4 months ago

Silly JonD17 my dad has a few Calvin and Hobbes books. I used to read them when ever I could that is why I remember this one.
Joe Allen Doty said, 4 months ago

“Friday the 13th on a (insert another day of the week here) ” is as old as the Pogo comic strip.

Since Hobbes being alive is only in the wild imagination of Calvin, there wouldn’t even be a bee on his back anyway.

Calvin’s wild imagination gets him into trouble most of the time. But, as we saw yesterday with him imagining himself to be a fly at a picnic and using scientific and educated words, he should be a straight A student in school.
SQUIDBREAKER said, 4 months ago

My new avatar has released me from the bee-beard jokes, apparently not a moment too soon!

Calvin must live in Utah.
Spcemanspiff said, 4 months ago

Hm, this reminds me of the strip where calvin and hobbes were playing hide and seek and hobbes ditched calvin to read his comic books.Classic.
comicmaster 13 said, 4 months ago

This is one of my favorites of the calvin and hobbes collection.
comicmaster 13 said, 4 months ago

Who cares about your avatar EMET I don’t even have a freakin avatar
comicmaster 13 said, 4 months ago

I agree with Spcemanspiff
comicmaster 13 said, 4 months ago

I mean seriously who’s with me on this?
Just plain Steve said, 4 months ago

dudeabideshou – except that Hobbes has a history of drawing mustaches on the characters in Calvin’s comic books!
Spcemanspiff said, 4 months ago

Calvin also said Hobbes bends back the spine.
