Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 01, 2010

That just may work!

Did he say, wipe myself

Calvin should have said “reality” shows instead of talk shows. That’s been American media for the last 20 years, and the fall of the U.S. Empire.

It’s been done I’m sure, Calvin!

G’Morning Grog, Marg & MIke!

Yeah Calvin! That won’t last long.

Politician in the making.

That’s going to take a lot of hype Calvin.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠.

Acquire skills soon!

I wish he had kept that idea to himself.

I never let my schooling interfere with my education. - Mark Twain

Calvin is doing just fine.

Trouble is, is that he is just like a kajillion other kids out there…

He was ahead of the curve on that one

So thats what they’ve been doing so long .. ;-)

Basing your political opinions on TV talk shows is like basing your actions on your daily horoscope. They are both there to entertain, not educate, and if you take either one seriously, you aren’t.

You’re ahead of your time Calvin, people are making a living like this for a time now… And let me tell you, it’s not a pretty picture.

Or, he can just go on the internet and get a tutorial about anything you need to learn ;)

Get a substance abuse record and a few assaults and DUIs

He decided not to go to school, but I’ll bet Mom and Dad will come to a different conclusion.

Yeah Calvin! You’ll be famous for being famous!

Calvin with you and your mind you would draw a different audience. I agree with Calvin stay in school get an education. Drew C went to library to learn his comedy act. Only Calvin yours won’t be comedy.

It’s working for Paris…. why not for Cal?

Funny pumpkin, Marg!

Rogue53… but she is an heiress… from what I can tell of Calvin, he is not an heir…

So rogue53, are you saying that Calvin could be famous… for being famous?

I think it’s more of a satire on the abundance of child prodigies in the U.S. If a child can peel a potato, it’s a breaking news all over the U.S.

Calvin, I have just the book for you. It’s called Learning for Dummies! There’s nothing that isn’t covered, except birthday suits. BTW, what do you call litigation that’s filed on one’s date of birth? I ‘barely’ convinced myself to make that previous statement and question.

another btw – i picked up a sheet of the Sunday Funnies stamps from the post office the other day, featuring our heroes. excellent stuff

Re billdi’s link: Let’s take a ‘straw’ poll. I’d rather be Archie. That would get my ‘stamp’ of approval.

Calvin is already famous. Look how many groupies he has and he’s only 6 years old. Going to school now won’t make any difference. We will always love and follow him.

Calvin said, “I’ll go on talk shows and hype myself.” I suspected that he was a hyper-calvinist!

LeslieAnne, We haven’t heard much from you the past few days. Did you get lost in your bubble bath, or were you hiding-out there? I wrote some puns for you this week and posted them. You usually like them. I’m not looking for applause. I don’t want you to ‘burst your bubble’ clapping your hands.

Puddleglum2… I did get lost… but not in a bubble bath… We have been very very busy at work! That has meant not a lot of time to comment. I have been reading and have THOROUGHLY enjoyed the puns from you and everyone!

Dogsniff, long time no see.

You’ll be right at home in Washington D. C. Calvin.

I wonder, make a lot of money do not need to have any original ideas ,just repeat the same thing over and over you’ve read some were I do not think its in politics.

Is Calvin & Hobbes back, or are these from the 90’s?

Contact Bravo or TLC I’m sure they will have something for you.

C&H ran from November 1985 to December 1995

Unfortunately, thinking like Calvin’s has never been limited to any one political party or ideology. I never understand why people joke as if it is.

Grimma - I agree. A kid this far ahead of the curve is scary. Puddleglum - the “hyper-calvinist” joke was great. Thanks for giving me a much needed chuckle this day….khp<><

Calvin, you’re such a scream

I sure wish i thought of that sooner.

LeslieAnne, Thank you, for us all. I’m going to The Big E (Eastern States Exposition) tomorrow. I suppose you have not been there. Do you live in the St. Louis area? Calvin is probably fairly close to you, but no one knows exactly where he lives. ‘Fun shared is fun doubled…’ oh well It is good that you have been very, very busy, isn’t it? “Idle hands breed mischief,” they say. But that would apply to Calvin, not to you.

khpage, “Laughter is the best medicine.” “A merry heart does good like a medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.” Proverbs 17:22

LeslieAnne, An uprooted tree crosses Calvin’s stream of thoughts, but he will not brook such a hindrance. It’s his River of Dreams. www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/river-of-dreams-hayley-westenra/b627d4a79124878b721bb627d4a79124878b721b-196722951651?q=

@UBOBUBO, YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, OBAMA AND CALVIN

2PEAS IN A POD heh heh

@UBUBOBBU HIM and obama would be two peas in a pod :-)

“A merry heart does good like a medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.” Proverbs 17:22

I don’t know how you do it, Puddleglum. We read that in church yesterday evening. Not the one I do the Saturday AM bible study with, but another one I go to on Thursday and Saturday evenings. (Yes, I attend two).

Could it be Calvin is a relative of Paris Hilton??!!!

Go for it, Calvin! Why not? Everyone else does!

Glum and bird - merry heart difficult for this 67 year old. Your prayers for me deeply coveted and appreciated.

Even in the 21st Century this concept is far more prolific than when this strip was first published. What a shame.

It worked for Barack Obama…
