Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 01, 2009

Under handed, Hobbes.

:)

Now I have to pee.

The face of Hobbes in the second panel!

Happy New Year one and all

Wet bed! Ho Ho Ho! tsk tsk! Hobbes surely hypontized Calvin to spill wet on his bed!

HAPPY NEW YEEEEAAARRRR! 2009! SALUTES TO ALL OF US!

I’ve lost a bed in the night to my sheppard/husky like that…wound up in the recliner for a few hours! Then he would want to go for a mile long walk in the snow in the morning.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Cool move Hobbes….fighting fire with water.

Happy New Years, kids!

What’s with the door knob in the last panel?

Fdavid. That’s the bathroom door.

Oh oh, be back in a minit!

“Fdavid says:

What’s with the door knob in the last panel?” I think it looks like the door knob is on the wrong side of the door because of the way Calvin is pushing on it…there is an outline of the door frame on the left side of the panel, so Calvin is just expending more energy than he needs to by trying to torque the door so close to the hinge point.

JGress, yeah! yeah!

“so Calvin is just expending more energy than he needs to by trying to torque the door so close to the hinge point.”

Not true. Energy is the product of the intensity of the force and the distance through which it moves. While pushing near the hinged side requires more force, it is applied through a shorter distance. QED, the energy remains the same.

I love Hobbes expressions from “I’m mad he called me FUZZ FACE” to the innocent expression when he started playing w/Calvin’s mind

Always loved Calvin & Hobbes, I’m not really big on Nitpickers of Newtonian Physics though.

Calvin is just sliding his hand along the already open door to steady himself, exerting no force what ever…….

Better that finding some way to turn it political… Happy New Year to all also!

That doorknob in the last panel bugs me too. It looks almost like it’s installed on the hinge side of the door, that’s assuming that the door opens out into the hall. But yeah, the way Calvin is pushing on it, the door opens into the bathroom, so I guess it’s OK, but I sure can see why other people spotted it.

One of my all-time C&H favorites…happy 2009, everyone!

Placement of the door knob shows that Watterson is not perfect. Just near perfect. And you don’t fool with Hobbes.

Comments compelled me to take a studious look at the door/knob situation. It’s clear that Watterson got abit sloppy with proper perspective because the wall baseline on the right suggests the door might be opening OUTwards whereas the doornob definately suggests it’s opening INward.

I suggest the creator of Calvin & Hobbes be publicly flogged for creating such a stir.

Hey margueritem, thanks for the explanation on tuesday. I apologize to Wildmustang1262. : )

@JGress: When guys need to go, they go…they hardly have time to look for door knobs.

Yeah Really!

That’s what I get for being late today. I was gonna say a simple “You go Hobbes!” and then you guys get going about a doorknob. It does look like the knob should be on the opposite side from where Calvin’s pushing.

On a related note, does anyone notice that the toilet seems way too high for Calvin? He’s gonna have to stand on the seat to do his business.

Who cares about a door knob? Nobody is perfect! Big Deal!

bleeep all of y’all who make comments about things shuch as the door knob and the toilet almost 1/2 through or more, it buggs me so much that i have to stop and go back to the top to see what i missed.

any ways. i think this is a great strip. i have to fight for the bed with my dog, thank God he is not smart like hobbes, if so i would be stuck.

All right, good way to start 2009!

I came back to check after this morning. It’s 6:44 pm my time, and I see the doorknob and toilet STILL has everyone fascinated! Hope all had a pleasant day! Happy New Year everyone!

I went back and re-read the comments from the previous days that caused such a stir. I must be missing something because I didn’t see anything wrong or hateful in either comments from wild mustang or cello wizard.

The offending comment was deleted.

I guess when you got to go you’d better go to go, or when you go, you might find you already went.

When the covers get tight, bedmates will fight !

love it

cover last square and ask students to infer what will happen based on information in the comic and what they know from their own lives.

OMFG!!!!!!!!!! CALVIN AND HOBBES ROX!!

One time,the monsters under the bed were tormenting him so he’ed pee,although he couldn’t get out of the bed,because of the monsters.Another thing to factor in is his parents are looking at the shrubs on calvin’s side of the house. HE PEES ON THEM HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

But when Calvin gets back, Hobbes needs to go, so Calvin ends up with more space
