Hobbes, you are a card!
Mishka said, 7 months ago

Good one , he should give him a death mask to.
kjaneh said, 7 months ago

That’s really funny.
sjoujke said, 7 months ago

What a comedian!
crimsonpig808 said, 7 months ago

I didn’t know death rattles went “shooka, shooka.”

Geez Hobbes, can’t a guy fake-die with a little dignity?
Carmy said, 7 months ago

You’re killing me here, Hobbes!
♠Lonewolf♠ said, 7 months ago

Hobbes, you’re too much, man! Love the hat! Looks like mine.
LX013 said, 7 months ago

Miss.Fit said, 7 months ago

Frank and Ernest would be proud of Hobbs.
cryptomaniac said, 7 months ago

Very convincing performance by Calvin there - and Hobbes sure has a great way of waking up the dead.

Wish you all a very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2010!
LX013 said, 7 months ago

When I will have to die some day and Jesus Christ would wait for me, as a dear, nice friend, it wouldn’t be so bad!
LX013 said, 7 months ago

But I am not so sure, how it will end for me, he must close all his eyes, that will help perhaps.
Lewreader said, 7 months ago

Why should he need a death rattle? He will be alive and shooting again within a minute.
pintcape said, 7 months ago

Hobbes sure knows how to have fun.
ronaldmundy said, 7 months ago

lx013, he must close ALL his eyes? How many has he got?

What a boring life Calvin would lead if not for Hobbes!
Wiseguy411 said, 7 months ago

Calvins life would not be boring.
Just in search of an audience …
jrbj said, 7 months ago

That joke was so totally weak it was actually funny. Notice how naively Calvin fell for it.
Grog said, 7 months ago

That was funny. And Hobbes looks great in the hat.

Somehow I am reminded of the commercial where the guy asks “What do you want on your tombstone.” But those commercials weren’t out then.

The next time you hear “shooka shooka” beware!
ronaldmundy said, 7 months ago

my gaud, coffee-turtle said “shooka shooka”.
the end must be near….. end of the year that is.
i say, isay, that’s a joke, boy.
Fer Lefer said, 7 months ago

A killing joke for an ending year… Have a better New Year, everybody!
Vigilante de noche said, 7 months ago

…Ralph would never have let Black Bart get the drop on him like that… Next time Calvin needs to be an Indian they’re much harder to catch in an ambush!

ronaldmundy:
I fear too many!

Happy New Year!

Hobbe’s character reminds me of a Grandpa with lots of energy.
Awesome-o said, 7 months ago

lol…
Kab Buch said, 7 months ago

I know C&H is an old strip but would be nice to see how they celebrate a New Year back then. Mean time.
For those like me with a BD today on News Years Eve/
Happy New Years to everyone.
margueritem said, 7 months ago

Happy birthday, kab2rb.
stewdeo3bs said, 7 months ago

Hobbes sure knows how to put the cherry on top.
Tashi said, 7 months ago

ed-in-toledo said, 7 months ago

Happy Birthday kab2rb

Happy New Year to All
tgrfemme said, 7 months ago

This is funny, though I’ll admit it made me cringe ever so slightly! :/
cwreenactor said, 7 months ago

Aaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!!
Rosemary said, 7 months ago

Hope everyone noticed that Hobbes is wearing a black hat, meaning he’s the baddie, and Calvin is wearing the white hat, so he’s the good guy marshal. If anyone remembers Hop-along Cassidy.

“Calvins life would not be boring.
“Just in search of an audience …”

That’s why, once upon a time, Calvin tried to add background music to his life.
Stede_Bonnet said, 7 months ago

I associate “death rattles” with old, sickly people…

Cowboys should more properly “kick the bucket”. Whether or not they choose to do so “with their boots on” is a largely personal decision.

Happy New Year to all. Listen up for Father Time’s 2009 death rattle!
GretchensMom said, 7 months ago

This particular comic is kind of a morbid one for New Year’s Eve, don’t you think?!?!?! But maybe, quite fitting too … since today is the official “death” of the year 2009.

Happy New Year’s everybody!!!!!
Dino-1 said, 7 months ago

Hobbes you kill me!
We’ll be celebrating with my granddaughter who’ll be three years old on New Year’s Day. I know she’ll be disappointed next week when she doesn’t get presents again. I’m glad we’ll be home tonight for New Year’s Eve with the family because we’re having quite a blizzard here. Everybody have a safe and Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
Kab Buch said, 6 months ago

I had a very nice BD where I work at they surprised me with a nice BD song and a treat. My husband also treated to a nice meal and cake so I had a very nice BD today.
Here in Kansas our weather is great so Dino-1 I feel sorry for you. Your granddaughter is forturnate to have a BD first one.
We are watching NYC for NYE.
Stay safe everyone and enjoy the evening.
Happy New Year.

Hobbes you are hilarious. Happy New Year all.

It’s the toy, not the sound it makes, that makes the joke for me. MC, HBD, HNY
