Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 30, 2014

Stiff upper lip there, Calvin.

Poor Calvin…he has to do what he “should” be doing instead of watching TV (or the lack thereof)… ;)

Mom misses the TV too!!

Adversity wouldn’t be so bad, if it weren’t for its adverse effects.Charles Schulz drew the following Peanuts strips after his studio burned down. Bill Watterson would have read them when he was eight years old.Click here: Peanuts (September 20, 1966)Click here: Peanuts (October 3, 1966)

Who’s fault was it for not securing the house properly…

What a revoltin’ development, eh Calvin!?

Did Hobbes check the mug shots yet?

Nobody would want my TV. It’s old and weighs a ton.

If Mom hadn’t reminded Calvin that the tv was stolen, wonder how long he’d have sat staring at the blank wall.

if the asparagus was wrapped in prosciutto and drizzled with balsamic and olive oil mix, then he would have seconds and thirds….

Should have burned the TV years ago!

Hi, JoanHelen. Cartoonists like Charles Schulz and especially Bill Watterson also seem to hear a “different drum.” While their work gives us some insight into their thinking, it is still very difficult for the rest of us to try to put ourselves inside their minds and to see the world as they would see it.

What? No Duck Dynasty?

I guess there was nothing else to do in that house.

As I always say…you could swap the name Calvin for Robert (my son), and you wouldn’t need to change anything in the comic strips!! :P

You know, I was so anxious to go back outside when I was his age; I also had to walk backwards over broken glass too. ahhhh the 70’s

Will their new TV jump as well as the old one?

If only it were that easy to get the kids to eat the meal mom or I prepared for them, we would have disposed with the TV years ago.Of course, we would have to visit a friend or neighbor to watch NCIS together, which we do judiciously every Tuesday evening.: >)

Without any of that stuff Calvin can be a normal person?

Thought about it, out of the 500-odd channels out there only 28 or so are worth watching more or less regularly,, and of those, The History Channel is #1 for me.

No prizes in guessing which panel is my favourite!

xxx

Gosh, I was away for a week~~ it seems like I missed a whole bunch!~guess I might do a catch-up!!!

What a rude awakening not to have the TV.

Ha—awesome face on Calvin in panel 3.

I feel his pain, though.

Procure a chassis from an old CRT TV, install your flatscreen in it.No one will ever steal it.

Love it. That quotation is so pithy, I had to post it on FB.

How Calvin looked in the third panel is how I would feel if I could not watch tv
