Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 18, 2010

I’m sure you’ll be infamous, Calvin!

Good Morning, Marg, Mike, & ♠Lonewolf♠!

“Calvin the Great” ! What a wonderful sound!

Exactly what you think it means, Calvin!

G’Morning, Mike, Marg, Grog & Fran!

GM earlybird SPECIALS

Hobbes will show Calvin a taste of the real world !!!:-)

Hmmmmmmmm…….

let me see…………….

the REAL Calvin…………………..

50,000.00???

calvin is great.. and already (in)famous !!

All that greatness will swell your head up Calvin.

Uh-Oh! Do you think he will have enough money?

Nowadays, I think it is easier to be famous than be excellent in one’s field.

Does Hobbes always have an appropriate answer for all of Calvin’s nonsense?

I wonder if Hobbes will be allowed to visit Calvin in prison?

“And what’s that supposed to mean?” It means that from Hobbes’ perspective, you’ll be “Cough Up Calvin”!

Hobbes knows where the bodies are buried.

Calvin the Conqueror and his faithful sidekick, Hobbes! Well, at least while Calvin can pay him to not reveal any secrets! The truth hurts the reputation…

calvin when are you goinna learn

Not blackmail, Hobbes; a tell-all book.

jimcracky, Please see my comments at the end of yesterday’s posts. Johanan, dsom8 and some others might be interested as well.

Linda Arney, Oh dear. I fear “the verbose, verbal vivisection” has become contagious… catching, even - Snagglepuss Your ‘best left unsaid’ quote (at the bottom) befits Calvin. He would exult in it.

LOL :) I’m sure you’ll be famous Calvin. Among the outlaws!!!

Too much hubris here… pride leadeth to the fall.

I love Hobbes’ face, second panel. “I’ll be lucky?”

Exit - stage left…

_Puddleglum2: Saw your comments. Stayed out of whatever other Crusades were going on after my own comments.

Just dealing with the thread I started on Facebook yesterday (on another religious topic) looks to take up much of my day.

“Calvin the Great” - nah, too much like “Alex the Great”. Try something else.

“The Calvinator” - a joke I (and/or someone here I inadvertentedly remembered) came up with. Now that fits you.

LOL That’s right, Calvin! Reach for the farthest galaxies! And Hobbes - hold on! It’ll be a bumpy road but Calvin is gonna make it!

“And what’s that supposed to mean?”

I think that means that Hobbes is set for life… …as far as his desire for tuna sandwiches.

“Calvin the Grate” would be more like it.

Luckily I’ve never met adults when kids made themselves famous in one bad way. One is serving at 60 life behind prison for horrendous crimes.

“YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!”

Nice that Hobbes will have a future income stream.

Blackmail!

Flag the spammers. There worse than cockroaches on a hot August day. BTW Calvin is great so is Hobbes

spammerflaggen!

Haha!

I love the fact that some comics inspire lots of conversation, and some not much at all!

Calvin got it right this time!

@Nabuquduriuzhur, even sadder than those famous for getting into trouble is those who are famous for being famous. Although there is a certain amount of crossover between the groups.

Just like he said Calvin, you will have to cough up. If your famous privileges. If your rich money. Better be nice to Hobbes now.

@RichardSRussell: I don’t know enough about psychological models (beyond applications of Jungian personality type) to even make a decent comment about superego and id. Could very well be. I’ll have to think about that one!

Taken as Jungian/Myers-Briggs types, though, Calvin is definitely ENFP and Hobbes INFJ. In that they remind me of myself (ENFP) and my own “imaginary friend” (INFJ): one led by the so-called Heroic cognitive process, the other by the so-called Oppositional process (conscious vs. unconscious). The Oppositional puts restraints and limits on the Heroric, not always successfully. (This is an insight thanks to John Beebe’s work on archetypes.)

Indeed, we all go through such a conflict, but here we have a case study of how a developing ENFP does it. Were Calvin another kind of personality, so Hobbes would be as well and the source of humor would be different.

MARGUERITEM,

Get well soon. In the meantime, don’t let anyone make you laugh!

Get well soon, Marg!

Good morning Fran and Kizzzy! Good Morning L’Wolf! Good Morning Grog!**

I was under the impression that Calvin grows into Frazz?

Feel better soon, Marg! We miss your first thing commentary!
