Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 13, 2011

dad got him!

Sheesh, Calvin finally finds someone to validate his ego and it all goes bad. Pride, thy name is Calvin Mud. (He doesn’t even rate the second “d”. Tough break kid.

Black sheep is black sheep and stays black sheep!! Black, but sheep!

hahahaha…only his dad knows how to handle him…

love this one…

nvm calvin-tell mom in one of your child like ways and she’ll do something-of course she can’t have a child called mud…unless calvin approves!!!

thought it was funny. it’s great Calvin gets to be knighted…we’ll have to see about the mud part. Loved how the father talked about ‘finite’ patience…great strip:)

Shouldn’t that be ‘Mud the Bold’?

he he…that was smart of dad… @Gnasher Slasher….everyone got ur comment when u wrote it for the first time…there was no need to write the same stuff 8 more times!

You GO Dad!!! At least he is playing along with you Calvin.

That’ll give you something through which to drag your name, Calvin!… Isn’t that right, gayfatnakedvet (from 3 days ago)? :o) No offense is intended, dogsniff; i’m just kidding with the grammar alteration. It’s just a tip, but you may keep the change!

Calvin must have been a knight of The (g)round table, but it rained again. Now it’s mud! That’s my idea of a dirty joke (and a poor pun, to boot).

You’re still Calvin the Bold to me.

He’ll probably grow up, be put in stasis till the 22nd century, where he gets on the wrong side of a star ship captain.

\\//_

Calvin certainly is a special case that needs the proper methods of handling

I remember a “Capt Mudd” who caused Capt Kirk some problems, probably cause Mudd had more girls than Kirk

Good one, Dad.

Lewreader, have you been drinking again? Capt. Mudd?just plain old Harcourt Fenton Mudd will do here.

Well done, Dad! Calvin the mud just rolls off the tongue. A good laugh for sure.

Good morning, Marg, Mike & Lonewolf!

I am a Calvinist. I admire the father’s wisdom.

“Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”

Yes well, if you remember “Captain” Mudd was also behind the Trouble with Tribbles

Wow, you scared me there gnasher slasher person….. I just had eye surgery and I thought it had suddenly gone baaadd!!!

The Mud formerly known as Calvin.

Actually, During the days of Abraham Lincoln. Dr. Mudd was the physician that treated Mr Booth after the assassination of Lincoln.. Thus the expression.. Your name is Mudd… Usually said… “Your name is MUDD.. Thats M! U! D! D! ”

Calvin knighted!!

I think short three or four letter names are best anyways Mud.

To replace Walter Cronkite who was forced to retire, CBS tapped Dan Rather than Roger. His name was Mudd.

Wrong Kerovan. that was Cyrano Jones who was engaged in the buying & selling of rare merchandise, including, unfortunately, tribbles.

Harcourt Fenton Mudd was involved in wiving settlers and providing Venus drugs to them. He then found Mudd when he was abducted by the androids to his new home. Thanks to Capt. Kirk, it is also home to 500 Stella Mudds.

Calvin the Gullible!

You fell way too easy for that one, Calvin! Good one, Dad.

Gnasher Slasher, I’ve seen others with that problem on laptop touch pads. No biggie. Just be kind and erase the duplicates. Most commenters do:^)

Thats one for the “ole guy”!

Dad’s dirty little secret is out.

Poor Calvin–tagged by Mr. Subtlety. A fitting heir to his father…

and remember…mud spelled backwards is dum. ;-) -Merrie Melodies-

GoComo2011 That was an accident I’m sure. Guess it’s never happened to you. And some people come here to comment, but unlike some others on here, don’t have all day to sit here, and I’m sure are totally unaware how many times that posted.

Grog, you have watched WAY TOO MANY Star Trek shows and reruns!!!!!! Just kidding, I will always love Star Trek and all its derivatives.

Brings back memories of taking a study break while in college to go down to the TV room in the dorm basement to watch the weekly episode. Standing room only.

If you can change it so can Dad

Well, THAT certainly brought Calvin back down to earth… :)

Hey Calvin - dis muds be da name, right?

My favorite Captain name (not a mudd) was Cap Huff (Kenneth Roberts …’Arundel’, ‘Northwest Passage’, etc)

Cap Huff’s full name was Saved From Captivity Huff.

The history of Mudd in that case is muddy. But in Calvins case its clear,his name is Mud by royal decree no less.

You can read more about Dr. Samuel Mudd and his Booth connections here (among other places):

dahawk, I not only watch them, but I own all 3 seasons and all Enterprise, STNG & Voyager, episodes too. Not DS9 though.

My apologies to all of the readers here..i accidentally pressed the Post Comment button too many times as the loading time was very very slow for me yesterday..so sorry that i didn’t realize it and left the 8 comment undeleted…hope you guys aren’t mad about it..

Calvin: Dad, kneel! (Dad kneels) Calvin: I declare you Mud!!! Dad: What?! Calvin: Hobbes, kneel! (Hobbes kneels) Calvin: I declare you genious!!! Hobbes: Yes!!!!!! Calvin: And I declare myself ruler and Dad shall pack his bags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m not Calvin the Bold! My names just….Mud.
