Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 28, 2015

Calvin, the neighbors aren’t surprised by anything that happens in your house.

Stage 2: House Road.

It looks like a very well balanced, unbalanced bicycle.

Calvin needs a bike with a Banana seat and Sissy bar.

There is paranoid, and then there is Calvinoid.

That’s already happened in the Pearls Before Swine strip, showing an adult Calvin still wearing his 6 year-old kid clothes back December 2013

A truly malevolent bike. Can it get on the roof?

Calvin’s parents are going to find some way to blame Calvin for all of this. I just know it.

Sometimes the cycles of life can be unpredictable.

Right on Frugal. Only the candy ass guys had a banana seat, especially the ones with extra padding.

Please let this preposterous, exaggerated, tortured story thread end…

Where’s Hobbes been lately anyway? Calvin needs someone to hug

I think I found the strip Cameron mentioned.

Notice that this strip does something very unusual for a comic strip: the continuity of the daily strip is extended into the Sunday. Usually this isn’t done because the Sunday has to be drawn a longer time in advance so it can be colorized by the syndicate; Watterson was one of the few to do this, perhaps because he did his own colors. Also, a lot of people only read the daily (or the Sunday) strip, so it might not work to combine the continuities in this way. But here it works, because neither the Sunday nor the dailies are crucial to understanding the other.

I see making the slightest observation that appears even slightly critical will be greeted with scorn. Why aren’t I surprised.

Did anyone else feel this way about their bike when they were Calvin’s age?

I thought the Sunday strips had a different storyline than the one which have been running throughout the week?Apparently not.Hilarious strip though!xxx

Similar to a scene in A. Bertram Chandler’s novel “The Broken Cycle.”

I believe Calvin’s prediction in the last panel to be incorrect. The neighbors will wonder whatever happened to that strange little ADHD boy who vanished mysteriously when he was about 6. And how his parents manage to grow such beautiful flowers in the garden they planted out back shortly after he disappeared and tend to so assiduously to this very day.

Calvin’s dad only has himself to blame for spending the past week trying to teach Calvin to ride a bike in spite of Calvin’s constant protesting. On the other hand, Calvin will probably not have to worry about learning how to ride a bike ever again after this stunt…

Ok, I thought the strip was hilarious!

For this who feel otherwise…

I wish I was Calvin’s neighbor!

I’m an ER nurse, and last year I had a patient (in his 40s) who was taking up bike riding. He came in because he fell off his bike and broke his finger. I couldn’t stop thinking of this strip! I felt horrible, but every time I went into his room, I thought of Calvin and would start laughing. I explained, and he was familiar with the strip (and even agreed—this wasn’t his first injury from it), but I still felt so bad about laughing. I hope he’s forgiven me…

whoa i love this comic

its rlly awesome
