Doesn’t everyone wish they looked like that in their school pictures.
Ladywolf17 said, about 1 month ago
DAHamilton you are welcome.
Calvin & Hobbes are always good for laughs. I sure did miss coming here. But I’m back now.

Thanks. Calvin’s evil scientist look in the last panel is awesome.
I still would have liked to see him on Zits when they needed a sofa saw.

i have a long history of having ID photos that bear only a vague resemblance to the way i normally look.

Calvin grew up and starred on Discovery’s Time Warp :

I hate photos, I always look horrible on them!
RHoney said, about 1 month ago
@Avav:
The camera was on timer when he ‘got it took’.
LOL!

@RHoney
Still, it would call for high-speed photography and precision timing… wonder if Hobbes is a tiger of some substance after all!

POOF interj. Used to indicate a sudden vanishing.
If possible, I would have vanished before Calvin sneezed, especially if “the camera was on timer…”
I don’t want his germs (or anyone else’s) to be sprayed at me.
Maybe Hobbes is immune.

@Marg: so this is your Friday avatar?

You would think it would gum up the lens.
Destiny23 said, about 1 month ago
I wonder how much he spent on Polaroid film before he finally got a good one. That stuff was expensive!

Oddly, all my school pics looked like that!
Puddleglum2 said, about 1 month ago
Yes, ZITS is a ‘funeral procession’ without Calvin.
If Calvin’s school portrait looked like that one, he might be apprehended for ‘indecent exposure’, and suspended.
rricchhterr said, about 1 month ago
l tried looking to the side, as to get a profile headshot…
they kept making me take it again
rricchhterr said, about 1 month ago
Miss ltem,
l like that you change your avatar…
l feel l recognize you as not of the mundane,
such as that #0730
maybe he thinks people will forget who he is
if he were to change his avartar,
and he cannot have that.

@avav
Hi all,
A genuine question-
Hobbes is Calvin’s imagination, both of Calvin’s hands are in the picture…
then who took this pic?
maybe the picture is imaginary as well
nathan123 said, about 1 month ago
i think it was a imaginary camerea too and a imaginary photo. yous ur brains poeple!
tonytiger29 said, about 1 month ago
nathan123: i agree with you. some people take these comics too literally. read them for what they are and enjoy them. i have some horrible kid school pics i wish were better or at least more creative.

musicnut1986 said, about 1 month ago
I think I speak for some of the others here when I say I now look back on some of my school pictures and say WHAT THE HECK WAS I THINKING! I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT HAIR STYLE WAS COOL?
I have to admit though that looking at the photos of some of my class mates give me a good chuckle.

i always wanted to moon the photographer when they did the class pictures, but never had the nerve
buckleylover said, about 1 month ago
LOL! We tried this as kids and it never worked. But these come in as a close second:

@bald
I have wanted to moon the photographer the last few times when they did my new drivers license picture.
grazer said, about 1 month ago
I was told we all automatically close our eyes when sneezing to keep our eyeballs from popping out under the intense pressure.
Can anybody disprove this?—I’m too chicken to try.

when you hit puberty, bust a zit when the camera goes off for the photos! even cooler! ;-)

Calvin oughtta post that picture on Facebook.
Saucy1121 said, about 1 month ago
@grazer - Mythbusters did. No, your eyes don’t pop out.
gocomicsmember said, about 1 month ago
I can attest that no matter how hard you try to keep your eyes open when you sneeze they close by reflex. That is why I hate sneezing when driving. Antihistamines are less of a hazard to my driving than the sneezes during allergy season.

Calvin will probably want his drivers license to look like that too, I’m guessing.
Dino-1 said, about 1 month ago
I spent a year with a huge teethy grin and my eyes closed saying at the same time, “Look see it’s me!”, so I could buy a beer and cigarettes in the mid-eighties. I was so busy at work that I couldn’t take the time out of my day to get back to the DMV to get it retaken!
grazer said, about 1 month ago
Saucy and Bald,
Thanks for the clues to my question.
I feel braver and might experiment.
Will start with one eye.
;D
