Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 23, 2015

You got hoodwinked, Calvin!

This story arc is the last of the long story arcs of Calvin and Hobbes.

Is he IN the Twilight Zone or is he writing it? Seriously, I’m beginning to feel as sad as I did when I first read Bill Watterson wasn’t going to draw the strip anymore.

The aliens do reappear later, complaining of winter, but this is not one of Calvin’s finer moments, much as I love the kid. The alien script would be interesting though.

the Aliens DID deliver !! Now whatever happens to the poor earthlings is anybody’s guess…

It seems like Susie didn’t take a careful look at Calvin’s collection. She just leafed through it.

He obviously is the creative type rather than someone who is simply good at following instructions…..and will likely end up up earning far more than most……or far less….

Don’t be too sure those aliens won’t make you a zoo exhibit. Be wary of any houses they build for you on their world.

Yep, 50 maple leaves: one cut into a square shape, one perfectly round (nearly), a pentagon, a hexagon, an octagon, several cut into star shapes, one starburst shape, one equilateral triangle… my, they do get creative, don’t they! Well, as long as they’re labeled, MAYBE you’ll get an “F-PLUS”; rather than an “F-minus”!

This is why Miss Wormwood keeps the Costco-sized bottle of Maalox in her desk…

Gort, Klaatu barada nikto…

Leaves cut into weird shapes? That’s how they make the futuristic bushes in Tomorrowland.

Calvin needed the aliens. I’m not sure I could find 50 different kinds of leaves in my neighborhood.

Would Calvin get extra points for poison ivy leaves? I’m itching to know.

We are approaching the end of Calvin and Hobbes? Will it start over at the beginning, once it reached the end? I’ve been reading comics for over 50 years, and I had heard of Calvin and Hobbes prior to stumbling onto gocomics about a year ago. I’ve enjoyed it, and wouldn’t mind starting at the beginning.

Anyone remember Zahf Dingbats? That font that was all symbols? That’s probably what was used for the names.

in fiction it seems that an active imagination is indistinguishable from a full on delusion huh?

Hah! I cannot wait to see what Ms Wormwood thinks of the aliens leaf collection!!! This should be very entertaining. :)

Well at least he has his leaf collection now.

No matter how weird the leaves are.

I hope Calvin used a plastic binder. He’s got little hope of a D otherwise.

…

There is a fan made epilogue to Calvin and Hobbes. It takes place when Calvin and Susie are older. Warning: You may cry when you see this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=285I8xHqQ1g

Forrester: [to a well-dressed looter] Did the mob grab the trucks ahead of me? Did you see anything?

Well-Dressed Looter: I don’t know what you’re talking about other trucks. These mobs have been fighting on every street corner.

Forrester: This is important! There was a school bus among the trucks ahead of me. A girl was driving it. Did they take that?

Well-Dressed Looter: I don’t know! If they saw it, they took it. They grab anything on wheels. You can’t buy a ride anymore for love or money!
