Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 05, 2011

Ahooooo!!

Oil or ink - it’s still a catastrophe!

Years ago when my parents just bought a new house with a white tub, my mom gave my sister a bath. She decided she wanted colored water, and so snuck some red model paint into the tub. The movers were still moving boxes in, and my mom already had to contend with the tub painted red, not to mention my sister too.

BP all over again.

And yet another “boating while intoxicated” incident takes place.

I love Calvin and Hobbes. After the last strip was published, regardless how many times I’ve read it, I still find great humor in Calvin in wild and crazy antics with his trusted sidekick, Hobbes.

An amazing imagination.

I like realism in my fantasies too!

One of those panels looks like cleo’s avatar.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠!

Looking closely, the original date seems to be 1991. Guess who was supposed to be managing the ‘boom’ for spills cleanup in Valdez? Yup, BP! (Thanks, Greg Palast!)

**Good morning Marg! Good morning Fran! Good Morning L’Wolf! Good Morning Grog!**

Mom will now apply the “bottom kill method” of containment.

You heard Calvin, its oil, not ink

When we were kids, My brother and I tried to make Kool-aid in the bath tub.

GRAPE Kool-aid

Well we were really thirsty at the time and wanted to be sure we had enough. Dad laughed a lot more than Calvin’s mom is though.

Joe Hazelwood as a child.

(Scary that I still remember the nitwit’s name. Thank you, Waterworld.)

Calvin and Hobbes sans Hobbes, and it’s still funny.

Puts new meaning to “getting some ink.” A full body tatoo!

Yes, but not as funny.

In this situation, a bath sans Hobbes is highly preferable.

You gotta love him????

Exxon Valdez BP Deepwater Horizon Calvin’s Ink Boat

I sure hope that Calvin’s friends have been taught not to judge by others the color of their skin…

Can’t help but think God is standing above us looking down and saying “You poured WHAT in the water??!!”

Calvin you created an oils spill. Can’t blame BP though great idea. Hope Calvin doesn’t get a lot of ink on him and clean the tub. I wonder were the idea came from on Calvin? I didn’t think Calvin watched the news. Though Calvin likes disasters.

That it does Fellow Baby, that it does!

YAY Greg Palast

How else to show the oil spill?

Luckily for Hobbes it isn’t his bath night!

Hes learning how to handle tanker spills the little genus.

Ah, a bi-racial (appearing) Calvin. This could open up a whole new world to him.

He’s going to be blue, in more senses than one.

Mom will not bring Calvin into bath so soon again!

Actually, Calvin’s tanker would have been the Exxon Valdeze. Aside from that, he should be outside battling snow goons…

Calvin your just too much! Don’t know how mom’s hair has not turned grey yet! LOL!

Oh! Holes in Cow Pies!

Mike Firesmith: Good one. This leak definitely needs a bottom kill to remedy the situation! LOL

That’ll teach her to leave a 6-year-old alone to give himself a bath!

Meanwhile, I’m so glad that this wasn’t Hobbes’ bath night, as well, or he’d be a permanent shade of black (or blue) instead of the pretty shade of orange/black/white that he is!

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!

He he he!

I can’t wait until a blue Calvin shows up at school tomorrow…

Exxon Valdeez never sunk, just leaked a lot.

Interestingly enough, Calvin is on the right track. Our modern day inks are byproducts of our oil industry. If I had done something like that my mother would have seen to it that I would not have able to sit down again for at least a month….Cal, baby - go easy, bud….

HAHA! Calvin sure doesn’t set a very good example for children, and I sure wouldn’t want any children of mine doing that. I will just enjoy it in the comics and just have Calvin’s mom deal with it. What are his parent’s names anyway? Do they have a last name?

Way to go Calvin. Now you get to take another bath.

Smooth move, Calvin! LOL

”Oh yes they call him the Streak!”

I can remember trying to get blue water in my bath tub when I was 3 or something. I thought I found food coloring, but it turned out to be laundry detergent. Oops….

:o oh no…
