Somewhere here on my desk is the original run of this strip I cut from the newspaper. There are only a few of them that give us a glimpse of the humanity of both parents, and this one’s the best.
I agree Calvin looks human with his hair. Though I wonder if mom would laugh if Calvin did her.
Were getting closer to 2011 all. My day is New Years Eve then after it’s over.
I’m in one of the worst moods ever, in grave depression, completely dejected…I switch on PC.. log in here at first, as a ritual and without much thought…I read.. AND I’M LITERALLY ROLLING ON FLOOR LAUGHING…. JUST LIKE MOM IN THE LAST PANEL… and dad’s expression in 3rd panel is priceless… OMG…. LOVE THEM…!!!!!!! THEY MADE MY
Now there is a Mom thats getting a good laugh.
Raising Calvin dose not give her too many times to truly get a good laughs but she is having a good one this time.
We don’t often get to see either of Calvin’s parents laughing at, well, pretty much anything Calvin says or does … which is why today’s comic is especially funny!!!!!
Hi Miss.Fit, nice to meet you. Try to focus on kind things that you can do for others, and how you can make others laugh. One good way is by sharing Calvin and Hobbes with others. I’d also recommend using a more positive name than Miss.Fit, because it doesn’t describe you. How about Friend of Hobbes?
Maybe mom didn’t pee her pants, but it was funny enough to knock her out of her chair. Makes me wonder what Calvin will choose to imitate mom, so dad can have his revenge laugh.
@SWEETBILL: exactly… I’ve been home for a mothing and it’s on my nerves… Calvin and Hobbes always comes to my aid…!!
@Hobbes: thanks… I introduced many of my friends to Calvin and Hobbes and they are on it now…
btw, I don’t know what made you think that the name doesn’t describe me… because I chose it due to many reasons, one being ‘fit’( meaning those sudden and violent changes in mood)…!!!!
Hi Miss.Fit. What I meant was that you are not a misfit. Nobody in this world is born to be a misfit. And in your case, we enjoy having you as part of our group. You fit in just fine.
We all have imperfections, some more dramatic than others. Personally, I have days when I feel like pouncing on others for no reason. :>)
The important thing is for us to begin by loving ourselves for who we are, in spite of the imperfections. Choosing a positive name for ourselves can be very helpful.
@Hobbes: yeah… that is true…. and I didn’t choose this name for it’s negativity but for it’s ability to be perceived by different people in different manners…. you said your perception…. mine was …’miss (that I am)… and fit (those maddening strokes, like you said pouncing on others… lol…. )…..’….

What’s the matter, Dad – did Calvin hit a nerve with his spot-on impression of you?

I’m surprised Mom found it funny.
Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠
Hobbes Premium Member over 13 years ago
Well, Calvin’s parents always tell him that it’s important to make a good impression….
This reminds me of one of the best “Peanuts” series, from 1962:

I’d say one of the best ever–except about 90% of C&H fall in that category…
Love Mom’s reaction. (Remember this when you have to clear the hedge chasing Calvin…)

Ever notice Calvin doesn’t resemble either parent?
bmonk over 13 years ago
I don’t know, countoftowergrove, Calvin has a face much like his dad, and he could have his mom’s sandy brown hair, only being younger it’s lighter…
Putli_Bai over 13 years ago
This has always been one of my favorite C&H strips - the third panel is priceless!
