Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 17, 2023

Most people just end up taking a swing at Calvin’s chin.

Calvin would know about quizzical and repulsed looks. People give them to him everyday.

Hobbes is always good for a snappy comeback.

Hobbs always has the best comments.

I wonder if Calvin ever thought of using his facial expressions to drive away the people he hates.

Heck, it might even work on Moe!!

Interesting that Calvin keeps saying ‘he’ and ‘his’. Does this mean he doesn’t do this to women/girls?

I’m stealing Hobbes’ comment.

Hobbes is a legend in sarcastic comments

At this time of my life, my train of thought often leaves the station without me…

I have met people like that. Once seen clearly, that form of ‘pseudo-listening’ is easy to recognize. When I chat with one of those types, I watch for the ‘glaze’, then mix a metaphor or just slightly mispronounce word endings. Usually gets funny response.

A chin stare? Might work.

Combine it with ’’That’s one huge bug, eww.’’

Oddly enough. I do pretty much the same thing, but I’m looking at their noses.

I’m guessing that doesn’t work on Mrs. Wormwood.

The conversation could never last long enough. He’d be immediately arguing with them straight away.

Back in high school speech class, I developed my “look at the group’s foreheads”.It lets the people think you are speaking to them individually, without your having to be distracted with instant reactions….Now if Calvin was in that group, doing his “chin thing”….I guess that’s why so many meetings are unproductive.

Calvin actually has a fun tip for once!

Gotta love Hobbes’ subtle humor.

When people talk to me, I just hear muted trumpets

I struggle to pay attention to the person speaking if their features are unusually fascinating. For instance, I know 2 women whose pupils are shaped like old style key holes

Hobbes!!! He sure is the best!

In some of his books, Douglas Adams describes people who look at one of your ears during a conversation as a sign of madness.

HAHAHAHAHA! I busted out laughing at Hobbes’ comment.

Calvin will be a national champion sprinter in college from running away from Susie.
