I’m afraid I must doubt you, Calvin…
vibjyor said, 4 months ago

It is the basic problem. Grown-ups never know how to fix things in the world and they never hand it over until they get thrown out.

Just another crash course in the thing we call life.
Carmy said, 4 months ago

If only, Calvin.

Swimming today, it’s a wonderful day!
Johanan Rakkav said, 4 months ago

I think Calvin’s a bit too used to running things according to the Dictator-For-Life model. Even with a fearsome Chief Tiger at your side, the leakest weak in that chain is always…you.

Scary thought…President Calvin!

Mom, you forgot my Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs!
rkka546 said, 4 months ago

and yet here he is making a mess of himself…
Yukoner said, 4 months ago

Why not Calvin for president? He could not be any more inept than the Bushs or more deceitful than Clinton. Too soon to judge Obama.
dinosaur123 said, 4 months ago

No, it’s not too soon to judge Obama. Many people started doing that as soon as they saw his face.
Who cares about the Dems and Republicans?
Vote the Cartoon Party!
Calvin and Hobbes in ‘13!!!

You never know…Calvin could just end up being exactly what this country needs!!! :) lol
Zippy007 said, 4 months ago

It’s only “too soon” to judge Obama if you’re blind, deaf and buried in a hole 2 miles underground. While he whines about the deficit he “inherited” he “fixes” it by quadrupling it. The correct judgment is, he has bankrupted the USA and has only just started spending. How much time do you need to figure that out?
geo111 said, 4 months ago

Hey Zippy007, how about you take your
political diatribe to an appropriate forum.

The same thing goes for the other posters of real-world political opinions.
Wenthral said, 4 months ago

I was called by pollsters a week after the election, with questions like how do you think Obama is doing in office.

They seemed a little nonplussed when I couldn’t answer there questions with anything but, “He hasn’t done anything yet, how can I say favorable or unfavorable.”

Personally I think we are heading for trouble, because the Dems have a super majority. No party should ever have that, not the Dems, Reps, or Indies.

Hmmm, will Susie be in his cabinet?
SQUIDBREAKER said, 4 months ago

This is not a good time to leave things to the US.

Wait till Calvin is president.

Actually, Hobbes is a better choice. What better to make imaginary promises than with an imaginary president.

I’ve missed these downhill conversations. Time to bring back more of the C&H classics!
mark said, 4 months ago

His first words in office will be “what’s this button for?”
Macushlalondra said, 4 months ago

I doubt there will be anything left for you to fix when you’re president Calvin.
Jackknife15 said, 4 months ago

Hey, geo111, who died and left you boss of this chat forum???
Kerovan said, 4 months ago

Calvin, Calvin he’s our man!
If he can’t do it……..

Shrek impersonation Anyone? Does anyone else know how to be president? Anyone at all?
Doctor Toon said, 4 months ago

A person who thinks they are doing their political party any good by posting opinionated comments on Gocomics is fooling themselves.
We call them Trolls for a reason.
Irritating, annoying and offending the rest of us is not the way to win friends and influence people.
yyyguy said, 4 months ago

anyone ELSE? does ANYONE know how to be president? it seems they get elected, and suddenly no-one approves of them any more. with the hyper critical attitudes expressed, it’s a wonder anyone wants the job.
and it’s no different here in Canada either.
paul345 said, 4 months ago

I have to agree with geo111…this page is to forget about the real world and have some fun, not discuss politics…
grammahotsho said, 4 months ago

Agreed! This is a place to escape from the chaos and mayhem of the world and step into Calvin and Hobbes world which is filled with hilarious chaos and mayhem and poignant moments.
Joe Allen Doty said, 4 months ago

Every one of the Calvin and Hobbes daily strips you see here at gocomics is a classic one.

The Calvin and Hobbes comic strip has not been drawn in almost 10 years.

These are like the Peanuts strip; they are all reruns.
Joe Allen Doty said, 4 months ago

Think of all the Billions of Dollars the United States Government would have saved if George W. Bush had never been made President of the the USA by the US Supreme Court. Bush did not win the 1st election and not all the votes were counted in the 2nd Presidential election.

There would not have a revenge war with Iraq by the Bush/Cheney Administration. When Bill Clinton was the President, Saddam Hussein wanted George H. W. Bush assassinated. One of George W’s excuses for declaring war on Iraq was “Saddam tried to kill my daddy.” That’s not hearsay; it has been documented.

Looks just like my dock. I think I’ll join them for a swim.
rshaffer4444 said, 4 months ago

I’m with you LX013 and cleokaya. The wagon to the water looks like big refreshing fun.
jimeguess said, 4 months ago

It looks like Calvin is president now … uh-oh.

Disaster! Disaster!!
Coffee-Turtle said, 4 months ago

Probably the same words B. Obama once thought.

Even with the best intentions at heart, people just aren’t capable enough to govern.
sjoujke said, 4 months ago

Non-political comment. Calvin is lucky Hobbes is a tiger, most cats don’t like water and would have their claws out by now!
butthole09 said, 4 months ago

clavin? as president? oh boy…

“Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bomb cereal and tunafish sandwiches for everyone!”

(Just take it out of the defense budget).

Thepeoples Mush(mouth) it’s obvious you have no idea what an anti-christ is, or you would be taking a closer look at BO!
LX013 said, 4 months ago

Hobbes for President!
bald 716 said, 4 months ago

calvin for pres, hobbs for v.p. and susie for sec of treasury with sec of state alfred e neuman … a good start
#1 redskins fan said, 4 months ago

Bald- Re Sec’y of State; and there is a striking resemblance between AEN and the current Secretary of State (SOS seems, somehow, appropriate!)
Larry said, 4 months ago

i’ll bet that comment in the last panel is what Obamma thought when he was little.
ratlum said, 4 months ago

With Hobbes as vice Calvin could really use all of his powers what fun for us
Calvinator said, 4 months ago

When I saw this one I just knew it would draw out all the haters.
obscurepoet said, 4 months ago

When I’m elected Queen, things will be different :-)
obscurepoet said, 4 months ago

I once voted for a punk rocker named Jello Biafra for Mayor of San Francisco. Figured he couldn’t do a worse job than the other turkeys that were running for office then!
Yukoner said, 4 months ago

I used to vote for the Canadian Rhinoceros Party. They promised that if elected they would do nothing. They only got a few votes but it was an interesting protest movement.
countoftowergrove said, 4 months ago

No doubt George W. Bush read this strip back in 1985, and said, “Heh-heh, that kid’s readin’ m’ mind!”
Dberrymanal1 said, 4 months ago

Calvin you couldn’t do any worse than the last 4 dopes and that includes the present one!
Groversfather said, 4 months ago

Rakkav: what is a “leakest weak”?

2: I have voted in many elections. The Dems, as well as the Reps, have tried to take things away from us, or force things upon us that aren’t good. We’ve made it this far, and I ‘m confidant that we will continue to do so.

Has anyone else considered the option that maybe a higher power is at work here…telling us that we need to change…drastically!?!?!
