Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 05, 2010

Evil child….

Ya’ gotta love Calvin’s facial expressions!

Harruuuummmmphhhh!!!!

You can be grumpy by yourself!

A new version of “pay it forward”.

Helps it in what way, Calvin?

Oh no, it’s spreading fast.

“My childhood was a period of waiting for the moment when I could send everyone and everything connected with it to hell”

— Igor Stravinsky

OOH! Evil-minded and devious! I like that.

They gave it to you, give it back to em’.

That’s our boy!

That’s how Susie acts all the time. How does she like it?

(Stifled Maniacal Laughter!!!)

very evil-look on Calvin’s face in the last frame.. I thought Susie was more mature…

Calvin’s got an impromptu trap..

Some stay grumpy waaaaay too looooong around here!

The Rx companies wished the H1N1 could spread like that, but it didn’t and they can’t give the shots away!

poor susie is all grumpy too :(

Misery loves company.

I love Calvin’s face in the last panel.

Guys love this grumpy expression on gals :).

We surely do! :D

My granddaughter who’s three, comes here to stay in a mood like that about once every other week. We figured out she’s suffering from sleep deprivation. She only naps at our house, where she’ll sleep three to four hours, in addition to her usual twelve hours at night. Atleast she goes back home refreshed!

Morning Marg! Morning Fran! Morning Shepmix!

All children are evil Marg, it is only a question of degree

He looks like the Grinch in the last panel….

Stand in front of a cement mixer. That, I’ll have to remember and use.

On a totally unrelated topic…

What’s Calvin carrying? Is that a lunch box, or a briefcase? Ah, the days before every child had a backpack.

Seems like standing behind the cement mixer would be worse! Runar, are you saying that all Stravinsky’s music was actually revenge? How sad. And I really liked his “Heartbreak Hotel.”

You want a pithy quote in return, Calvin? How about this one?

Antiquis temporibus, nati tibi similes in rupibus ventosissimis exponebantur ad necem - In the good old days, children like you were left to perish on windswept crags

Way too evil in that last panel Calvin! Problem is that I know of some adults who act like that all the time… Makes one wonder if we ever do grow up…

If I’m gonna be miserable, every body’s gonna be miserable.

I prefer Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc or Soli linguæ bonæ sunt linguæ mortuæ.

That’s my husband’s philosophy, too–the best way to get rid of a bad mood is to give it to someone else. I disagree though. Making someone else unhappy doesn’t make me any happier.

Poor Susie .. she actually seems to like Calvin a lot .. makes her all the more grumpy .. its not like you really spread it around Calvin .. JERK is the right word!!

What an ugly face on a kid. It’s a wonder his tiger buddy doesn’t run away from him sometimes. But then again when I look at him he reminds me of myself when I was his age. It’s a wonder my parents didn’t drop me off somewhere that I couldn’t find my way home.

Oh great now I’m in a bad mood.

Spread it around, Calvin. At least it gave you something to smile about, as evil-looking as that smile is.

”Some children should neither be seen nor heard.” ~Miss Wormwood

I think he meant “cement truck”. A mixer just goes ‘round and ‘round’ like a clothes drier.

Calvin, I think you’re forgetting something, have you notice something important that sussie got under her arm that you should have brought too?…

quickly… start getting it!!!

“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.” - I Corinthians 15:33 Susie started well…

it’s karma susie

donhar, …good observation! However, Calvin might have said, “Go step INTO a cement mixer.” That would be more ‘concrete’.

Calvin start an evil way and spreading it. I had to flag spam. It’s on a lot of gocomics sure wish they would do something about it and yes I email them didn’t seem to work.

You got to love this guy!!

pacejv, all the H1Ni vaccine was purchased by the government (us taxpayers) and provided free. So the Rx companies didn’t lose anything, we did.

cut Susie some slack, Calvin!

Calivin is so evil. Lol I love him though.

Governor William J. Le Petomane: “Holy underwear! Sheriff murdered! Innocent women and children blown to bits! We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here, gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately! Immediately! Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph! ”

BLAZING SADDLES 1974

I didn’t get a Harrumph out of that guy!

RUNAR; someone needs to comment on your non-translated Latin. I picked out something about “good tongue” and “dead tongue” but it’s been too many years to get even the adjectives much lest the nouns and verbs. God, I’m getting old. I had to get the dictionary to spell adjectives correctly.

Calvin is spreading bad mood like we spread peanut butter in canada .

@ dahawk We SURE get needled either way don’t we? (Sorry to say.) Good point, by the way.

Spoiler translations of latin lines: 1) We gladly feat on those who would subdue us. - Morticia - the Addams Family credo

The only good language is a dead language.

To Grog: Harrumph!

Harumph! Harumph! Harumph!

Calvin’s getting in some early practice for his first Texas Hold’em Tournament…..sic transit gloria mundi…

I usually don’t have a problem with other peoples’ bad moods “infecting” me. Their petty problems (such as not wanting to get out of bed in the morning to go to school or work, for instance!) are theirs and theirs alone. If it doesn’t directly involve me in some way, then I try not to let their bad mood affect me.

Now my husband, on the other hand, is a different story where I’m concerned. It’s not often he’s in a bad mood but when he is, it rubs off on me in a “New York minute”, which is something I really hate too … usually because I’m the one he takes it out on (like Calvin just did with Susie … although I’m very happy to say that he’s never gone as far as to tell me to “step in front of a cement mixer”!).

jglynn, that’s cool!

Hunger works the same way…

mbne08: Blazing Saddles is one of my favorite movies! I never miss it when it’s on tv. I saw it once with my parents at the drive-in theater and twice after with two groups of friends whom I recommended it to afterwards. It makes me laugh hysterically every time!

Watch it kids. Your face might get stuck that way.

Yeah, jglynn, what a great discovery. A number of comics artists have poked each other like that over the years, but it doesn’t always work very well. This one sure does! Calvin himself would be tickled pink. (Unless something happened to make him take it personally, like maybe a moment’s pause for reflection … )

Behidn the cement mixer Calvin. So she’s get cemented.

It’s amazing that Susie even talks to Calvin but she keeps coming back for more.

The H1N1 flu vaccine wasn’t free around here. When they finally decided to stop rationing it, nobody needed it anymore – so they’re stuck with it. Too bad!

“Joy shared is twice the joy.

Grief shared is half the grief.”

So how does anger fit in here?

Anger shared is anger squared.

why the hostility calvin!! :)

watch out, bad moods are contagious!
