Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 10, 2013

The experience of the competition, Calvin.

Or a whiner.

We never did get to see Susie’s poster.

apparently, Calvin takes “validation from a higher authority” rather seriously. Life is mostly CalvinBall – Calvin.

What’s the point of trying if you can’t be a winner!

Actually quite profound!

Does he ever win?

Today Calvin feels like roadkill on the road to higher education.Calvin didn’t win, but Hobbes still finds him to be a very trying person.

Compare Calvin in panel 2 with Hobbes in panel 3. With his jacket on, Calvin is striped in the middle and plain on the sides. Hobbes is plain in the middle and striped on the sides. This isn’t the only way that Calvin and Hobbes are opposites.

what is some thing wrong ..?

on peanute strip they say .. Ol Block head …does it mean pleas..?

Perhaps you are a winner in an other subject. Not all people can be winner in the same subject!!

The only answer, Calvin, is to give everyone who submitted an entry, a medal to wear around their neck.

We must be careful not to damage your self esteem……until you grow up and discover that sometimes you win and sometimes you don’t.

Calvin is a winner in one thing: Calvinball

Hi LX013 and Dha Dha. I hope you are having a good spring in Austria and Thailand. Sometimes it must be difficult to understand the English for jokes that posters make on this site. In my posting above, the joke is that a “trying person” in English is someone who “tries your patience” or who “gets on your nerves.” In other words, it’s someone who makes it difficult for you to be with them.Dha Dha: In today’s Peanuts strip on GoComics, when Lucy says to Charlie Brown, “So long you ol’ blockhead, it’s been nice knowing you,” she is actually being a little bit affectionate (kind) toward Charlie Brown today. In the past when Lucy called Charlie Brown a blockhead, she was being mean and calling him stupid. But today she has a little smile on her face that she has never shown before when talking to Charlie Brown, because she is actually going to miss him after she and Linus move away.

There are winners, losers and sore losers.

Enough already!

Can someone tell me where they play sports and don’t keep score? I am a 63 year old grandpa and I have attended sporting events for three generations and everyone keeps score.By the way Calvin is wearing a jacket that partially reveals his striped shirt.

these are hilarious

Don’t you just love it when sore losers complain about the contest being rigged?

Dare I call Calvin a poster boy for bad mottos?

You have a lot to learn, Calvin.

I always love Hobbes’ eye roll.

LOL xxx

These days, there’d never be a contest where a kid was allowed to WIN! Heaven forbid we should hurt everyone else’s self-esteem. We’re all winners.

Boy, does the politican in this kid ever come out here….

Calvin – just remember that even if you get/win the entire world and all the good stuff in it and lose your soul for eternity the regret will far outweigh whatever you had here….

Yet another drive-by trollism, for your edification.

Failure comes before success. Then again, this is just a comic strip, so that may be void.

Winners on one side, whiners and weiners on the other.
