Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 02, 2013

Hope, not for blood!

Calvin is the Quentin Tarantino of safety posters.

O its going to be catchy alright .

One I saw on a billboard many decades was short & to the point—“SAFETY IS NO ACCIDENT”.

Calvin was the accident.

Kid’s a natural for a career in marketing …

Once again Suzie will say “Hey I barely even know him!”

be roadkill does it mean ?

Calvin probably wouldn’t win, but be careful or be roadkill is pretty catchy.

To use cadmim colours is forbidden!

Yep! In Texas it means we’re havin’ gumbo tonight pardoner.

I prefer crimson to cadmium.

Cadmium red? Isn’t that an oil color used by fine-arts painters?

Don’t be the “grilled” special at the Roadkill Cafe!

Uhhmmmm – Cadmium is YELLOW!!

Is is supposed to be his work !

Ugh, Calvin has a much stronger stomach than I do.

Shades of Deathrace 2000!

Don’t be roadkill, good idea Calvin!

Good message Calvin, but someone needs to teach the deer and antelope to read around here.

this is one of the rare times Calvin enjoys doing schoolwork. If they offered cash rewards instead of grades, he’d be a willing student.

cadmium red….LOL

Being graphic will get their attention. Of course, they won’t be able to sleep at night.

Great one, Calvin!

I love the 3rd panel.

LOL xxx

Diner: What is chicken a la Ferrari?Waiter: That, sir, is a chicken killed by a sports car!

Why did the chicken cross the Interstate?

To prove to the o’possum that it COULD be done!

It is unfortunate that some animals get curious about what the bottom of a tire looks like!

I was driving at night down Ill Rte 96 when a skunk was crossing the road, and another car was tailgaing me!So, I straddled him as best I could – but hear “clunk!” as I went over!Looked in rear view mirror, and it looked like something was spraying upwards as the next car went over!(I escaped the smell)

Look Twice, Run Once.

You might have wanted to point out that that bill didn’t cover what most people think of as roadkill (squirrels, possums, etc.), but large game animals like deer, elk, moose & game birds like pheasant. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/montana-bill-legalize-roadkill-dining/story?id=18549790#.UYKpZZGwU4g

Also, that Montana is not the first to consider that, 4 other states already do that.

That 3rd panel is the slogan for Texas Armadillos Anonymous

What, no Peanuts references today?

Calvain is one of my favorite comics.. The good old days

“Cadmium Red” – wasn’t he a famous rhythm and blues piano player? Hahahahahaha………

I actually prefer Calvin’s slogan of “Be careful, or be roadkill” myself. It’s MUCH more interesting and descriptive-sounding than the boring old slogan his mom came up with!!!!! ;-)

I was doing a safety report with my friends in school and we couldn’t think of a good slogan. I was bored, flipping through my Calvin and Hobbes treasury, and I saw this. “Be careful or be roadkill.” Me and my friends prited out the picture and pasted it on our poster board. Everyone saw it, stared for a minute, and burst out laughing. I am now the funniest (and smartest) kid in my class. I got an A+ and it was super fun. Thank you Calvin!

I kind of like Calvin’s idea…

Roadkill = Flat Cat (Don’t tell Hobbes!)
