Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 01, 2010

That last bath must have been a doozy…

For some reason, Hobbes doesn’t look very impressed, sitting there under his hat er….chapeau.

He’ll change his tune in a few years…..

Or very impressive, either.

Poor Suzie. Yet another friendly approach rebuffed by The Calvinator. Don’t worry, you’ll have your revenge when you marry him. :)

You think she’s trouble now! Just wait Calvin, it gets better.

Calvinator!!

When did Calvin learn French? Chapeau!

I agree with Suzie. Mean ol’ Calvin. I bet if Suzie were to start her own club, Hobbes would be allowed to join, but not you Calvin since you were mean to her.

now Susie also knows of the ‘secret’ club..

do I hear a voice from Hobbes seconding Susie..??

Hobbes can really fake it, can’t he?

Last saturday .. wow .. thats recent!!! and you call girls slimy .. duhhhhh

I want to know what kind of bubble bath and shampoo keeps a little kid clean for a week. My granddaughter gets a shower in the morning and a bubble bath at night! My husband always says, “I think it’s time to hose her down again!”, when she comes in from playing outside.

Just hope his G.R.O.S.S. clubhouse doesn’t have any kooties : )

“GIRLS AREN’T SLIMY!” Oh, yes you are.

I like how Calvin’s biggest issue with the acronym is that it’s redundant.

Never mind French and chapeau … where did he learn ’redundant’?

I couldn’t say that until about 10 minutes ago.

Calvin’s been watching feminine war paint and hygiene commercials. It’s all got be covering and collecting something. He figured it out quickly. Slimy. : }

If I had only known then she was making a pass at me before I passed out from the rock she threw at me.

When I was a little kid–many moons ago–we only took a bath once a week, on a Saturday so we’d be clean for church the next morning. It wasn’t unusual–everyone I know did. I even know some who used the same bath water, to conserve water. Gosh, I’ve finally gotten old…

Calvin takes a bath once a week, whether he needs it or not. Between those he stands his shirt up in the corner.

Wow – there is so much going on on so many levels in this one … I feel the need to make a chapeau myself.

I don’t recall bathing daily as a child, although during the summer we were allowed to count swimming as a “bath.”

I suppose the need for hygiene usually kicks in some time during puberty…because as an adult I rarely shower less than two times a day - in the morning, and again after I work out or do yardwork.

Almost time for your next bath, Calvin.

Actually, without “Slimy” it DOES spell something…

Get Rid Of Girls…

Aye! Now that’s the way of it. GROG! I bet little Suzie won’t be so little in a few years and down right HOT! Keep playing hard to get Calvin , they like you better that way.

Hats off to Susie’s ‘friendly approach’! “Friendly Persuasion” - Pat Boone (song)

Calvin! Be nice! You should not call the Girls a “SLIMY.” What’s about you? Slimy Boy!

I know that Calvin never likes to take a bath whenever he gets dirty all over his head and body while he plays in the dirt, muddy or whatever. His mother insists and forces him to take a BATH, period.

Calvin reminds me of Dennis The Menis(sp) so much.

Suzie can start her own secret club for girls…

G.R.U.B.S –Good Riddance to Unwashed BoyS

We took baths on Saturday night. I was the third of four. My little sister got clean water for her bath.

I hope you used a potent soap in your bath, Calvin. Otherwise, I’m going to stay at least four feet away from you.

grazer: G.R.U.B.S. Now that’s a club every girl and woman can get behind!

hmmm….sometimes I do feel slimy…hah! Love the way they are drawn with their arms shooting up in the air when they show excitement!

I hope my friend Hobbes has at least a little first aid.Calvin may need some.Suzie looks upset .

When I was Calvin’s age, my best friend was a girl. There were only a couple boys my age in the neighborhood, and we didn;t get along.

Having raised 5 boys and 2 girls, I can say that it is the boys who are really smelly, especially at puberty - or maybe it was just my herd. But Hobbes really likes Susie; I’m surprised he doesn’t lobby Calvin to let her in.

Thanks to a massive amount of yard work … I’ve had 3 showers in the last 2 days!

Oh my, dare I say it? A chapeau on Hobbes??? He would be… Le chat en le chapeau (the cat in the hat)

I remember those days, once a week was still too often.

Why does Susie even bother with him? She must really like him. What a strong crush to always put up with his attitude.

Parents from wartime England – I got one bath a week. Clean water, but two inches maximum in the tub!

JP Steve, how did you get that sludge to go down the drain?!?!

hobbes sure doesent look impressed

Calvin would be sitting in his own junk anyway
