Well, it works for the sparrows….
Gweedo Murray said, 29 days ago

I see More-gite-‘m is makin’ the rounds.
Can’t remember seeing Moe bop Calvin before. His presence alone usually does the trick.
sjoujke said, 29 days ago

Unfortunately Calvin you’re no sparrow….and you shouldn’t really crow!

Calvin the Great shall take his revenge!!
VistaBill said, 29 days ago

Can’t believe everything you read, Calvin.

The dumb meets the dumber…

Just sitting there on the swing isbeing stupid in a NO STUPID Zone. Good luck with one,Calvin.
WOLFBYTE said, 29 days ago

I remember those days. How I hated them.
BC13 said, 29 days ago

And Moe stings like a bee.
Yukoner said, 29 days ago

Calvin, you are not a sparrow, although in this instance you seem to be a bit of a bird brain.
jukeofurl said, 29 days ago

Did you hear THAT sparrow fall G*d?
watcha said, 29 days ago

Brilliant little planet and spaceship going with the stars in last panel!

calvin, when you watch those nature channels you should try checking the internet to find out if there are any side effects to what they say
DreamScourge said, 29 days ago

Calvin it’s because the sparrow have learn’t not to talk to the crows about it first

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaa
Destiny23 said, 29 days ago

Somehow I can’t imagine Calvin watching a nature show. Especially when they get to the mating rituals…
RobinaFox said, 29 days ago

Greater maneuverability wouldn’t help a sparrow IF IT JUST SAT THERE!
Hugh B. Hayve said, 29 days ago

Morning all!
LX013 said, 29 days ago

I like the animatet ones! Funny!
RavennaAl said, 29 days ago

Well, obviously Moe didn’t watch the same program. Sort of like the old saying about bumblebees. According to the laws of physics, it’s impossible for a bumblebee to fly, but they do anyways because bumblebees don’t know anything about physics.
jrbj said, 29 days ago

Calvin should never overlook the obvious. In this case the obvious is that fact that Sparrow Hawks knock Sparrows, like Calvin, right out of the air. As a matter of fact, some of them do it simply because they can. Learn to fly away and hide, Calvin.
Richard said, 29 days ago

I can’t believe our Calvin actually hit Moe with his chin!
algurka said, 29 days ago

Calvin, you birdbrain! The key word is maneuverability. Sparrows don’t just sit on their perches waiting for the crows to knock them off.
Rabittooth said, 29 days ago

…there’s a special providence in the fall of a sparrow…
Lewreader said, 28 days ago

Teach Calvin to watch PBS instead of Capt Spiff
Ldywldkat said, 28 days ago

Yeah but can moe outrun a tiger?
♠Lonewolf♠ said, 28 days ago

Get Hobbes and start talking to him again in front of Moe!
Fer Lefer said, 28 days ago

Like he said yesterday: “It´s going to be a long year…”
herebedragons said, 28 days ago

just another example of having just enough knowledge to hurt yourself
Herocoder said, 28 days ago

Hobbes is never really there when you need him! Is he?
Calvinator said, 28 days ago

Other than jail, where are all the grown up Moe’s?
Coffee-Turtle said, 28 days ago

Moe must go! MOE MUST GO!
Saucy1121 said, 28 days ago

@Calvinator: playing sports (especially hocky and American football).
Tonia said, 28 days ago

Hey, im in on did u hear THAT sparrow fall good! lol
Tackleberry said, 28 days ago

Calvin needs a ccp and a piece.
Comic-Nut said, 28 days ago

I personally like Calvin’s approach. However, I think Calvin needs to not be so masochistic in chiding Moe.
Sabotage the swing Calvin, and sit there as bait for Moe.
nighthawks said, 28 days ago

key word there is maneuverability …not a sitting duck
Susan001 said, 28 days ago

Calvin’s first day of school is getting off to a great start. NOT!
And the day’s not even over, yet!

Apparently, that school doesn’t have a “no tlerance” attitude toward bullies.
grazer said, 28 days ago

New lesson learned well, Calvin…..
Aerodynamics don’t count for diddley squat when it comes to calling the school yard bully “stupid”.
secretasianman1270 said, 28 days ago

What Calvin forgot to realize is… smaller size & greater maneuverability only come into play if the “sparrow” is MOVING.
jtpozenel said, 28 days ago

Apparently Calvin missed the episode when the Cheetah pounces on the speedy Gazelle.
Just plain Steve said, 28 days ago

He wouldn’t have caught the gazelle if he hadn’t cheetah’d!
ratlum said, 28 days ago

This got me thinking
Where did the bullies go from my school days
tskoge said, 28 days ago

By the time they hit fourth grade, they got the Discovery Channel don’t they?
Dino-1 said, 28 days ago

The bullies from our class either went into the service or into jail. The update from the last class reunion is that a couple have become, “career criminals”. The ones that came back from the service look like they were, “Rode hard and put away wet!”
Hugh B. Hayve:
I enjoyed this animation too. It reminded me of my little dog. He’d eye his tail like that and grab it and spin in a circle. He’d finally end up snarling at it and chewing voraciously until you’d hear a yelp that he’d hurt himself. It was always entertaining to watch but I worried he had brain damage sometimes!
cholldekkgher stenst... said, 28 days ago

Poor Calvin
Poor, POOR Calvin
Seek thee a place of higher learning
Where bullies do not abound
And THEN go for it!
Turtledragon said, 28 days ago

Calvin….

Just get the tiger, who will take care of it. Omigosh. Just do it, leave the bully-overpowerment to Hobbes and fly away like an ACTUAL sparrow would do. Although don’t even try it with hummingbirds- a few of them can drive off a full-grown Bald Eagle. Just a little something.
I don’t need the Genius button, I’m too smart for my own good. Ow.
Johanan Rakkav said, 28 days ago

Several of you thought of the same thing before I did: no sparrow outmaneuvers a crow by just sitting there on the branch and taunting it! :))

BW was of the opinion that Moes bred on locker room floors.
Downeasta said, 28 days ago

Calvin should pull out his transmogrifier and turn the bully into something more pleasant. I suppose it would be safe to say it wont happen tho.
pintcape said, 28 days ago

have to know how to take care of yourself before mouthing off to someone that’s bigger and meaner then you.
