    … cynical and clever.

    Oh, Calvin. Just wait until you hit puberty.

    Love his expression in panel 2. Very convincing.

    She might have been more inclined to buy it if he hadn’t been sooo dramatic - nah not a chance.

    Welcome to the world of women, we’re cynical, calculating, and complicated - but we’re clever.

    ‘Susie, (Go) quickly! Get help!’
    What makes Calvin think Susie needs help?

    I was the only girl on my street growing up so I was definitely not Susie! We had sword fights with sticks and shot at each other playing Armymen. We blew apart stuff with fireworks and melted alot of plastic men with wooden match arrows when storming the castle etc. The guys were introducing me again to their wives and girlfriends at the last class reunion as the neighbor-girl with pride. They automatically get very jealous and imagine puberty stuff. They don’t understand I was a tomboy and to them I’m just one of the guys and I’ve got the scars to prove it!

    Susie will NEVER let Calvin trick on her for that.

    Right Foxtrot, susie has no clue.

    What is Susie’s gender, anyway?
    Calvin got so upset that he used a euphemism which commonly means ‘to mend a sock’. Flag!

    Why shouldn’t our gender be cynical? The opposite one has been screwing up the world for the past 5000 years!

    If this was Lio he would be truly sinking

    that quicksand is only waist deep, he can walk out of it, no problem…

    @Dino-1 - A successful marriage requires enormous amounts of time, the people writing books say 15 hours a week at a minimum - very difficult in the modern age where we work far away from each other. With a spouse or SO struggling to maintain a relationship, it is frustrating to see the easy familiarity you have. It is not so much that they think you are trying to horn in, but that it makes them feel like their struggles are hopeless. They aren’t considering that your relationships are built on the oodles of time spent with those friends in childhood.

    To Susan001:
    Who (messed) up the world for the first 1000 years before “the past 5000 years”? - “The Eve of Destruction”
    You’re defending your namesake as well as one of your gender, whatever it is. :o)

    I am worried about Calvin. His only friend is Hobbes and his parents seem indifferent. I do think steps should be taken to take him into care.

    N7326 Foxtrot said,

    ‘Susie, Susie, Susie…… You will never fit into Calvin’s world.’

    I think Susie would never say/sing to Calvin,
    “Wish I could be…part of your world.”
    And Calvin will not be writing “Love Letters in the Sand”, or singing “Susie Darling”.
    Calvin might sing “Wake Up, Little Susie” in the sense of an admonition (not rousing her from sleep).

    Since there is quite a bit of water in real quicksand, all one has to do is lean backward and he will begin to float on the top of it and can actually get out of it. I knew this a long, long time ago.

    But, here is a link to a website which proves my point:

    I sense Susie wishes it really was quicksand.

    “Susan001. Why shouldn’t our gender be cynical?”

    If your gender was less cynical the script would be Susie and Hobbes.

    at their age why is calvin even concerned with gender?
    they should just be antagonizing each other as they normally do

    “to mend a sock”? what are you talking about?

    this is the most puzzling comic strip i’ve seen in ages!

  30. yyyguy

    yyyguyGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    joe allen, i’m not about to test it; but i wonder if that would work for people who don’t float? (like me.) i’ve heard the “swim your way out” thing before (and seen it done on mythbusters) so i know it works. however, i have never been able to float (except with a PFD) and i imagine that i might just sink anyway, no matter what i did.

  31. saturntv

    saturntv said, 3 months ago

    Thanks, Joe Allen!

    If someone had filled Calvin’s sandbox with quicksand, it would have been Susie, I’m betting.

    Leonardeuler said, 3 months ago

    Saturntv, I’ll bet Hobbes did it: revenge for the failed water-balloon trick.

    4deerinmyyardGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    Yyysguy, I infer you are very lean. Fat floats.

    Cynicism does not equal skepticism. Shrewdly observing truth is not being cynical.

    ratlum said, 3 months ago

    Calvin your so wise for such a young boy
    Thats why we love you I guess

  35. Puddleglum2

    Puddleglum2 said, 3 months ago

    To RinaFarina”

    See 4th panel.
    To mend a sock = bleeep
    Haven’t you ever mended a sock?
    I have, and I’m not even of your gender.
    I think Calvin would like to “sock” Susie.
    Thank you for reading my ‘contribution’.

    It’s great that it’s possible to “swim” out of quicksand, but I’m thin; I can’t float, either.

  36. Puddleglum2

    Puddleglum2 said, 3 months ago

    To RinaFarina:
    I guess you’ll have to look it up. It was bleeeped even though I used it as “to mend a sock” and not a euphemism as Calvin did in the 4th panel.

    Some people, unfortuneately, grow up way too fast. If you’re really 100% mature, you miss out on a lot of fun.

  38. marvee

    marveeGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    Does anyone bleeep socks anymore? “Darn” is a method of mending fabric. It is also a euphemism for d–n. The euphemism is fine with me. Comic strips are written to appear in family newspapers. And Calvin is supposedly a 6-year-old child.

  39. marvee

    marveeGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    Why did bleeep get bleeped? Who does this?

    Stuart Gatham: Thank you, now it’s starting to make sense to me. I feel better now. I’ll remember that for the next class reunion in 5 years.

    Myself was in water years ago with young kids and I am not skinny. I could not float. Had swimming last year of high school and this did not stay with me. I did not know a person could float on quicksand I thought you sank down.

    OldHipster said, 3 months ago

    She’s right, ya know…..

    Re; floating on quicksand. Yes you can, the more you move, the faster you sink.
