Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 24, 2011

Either that or its your snowflake undercoat, Hobbs.

Tigers don’t tan, ya big silly!

Tiger hair sunscreen…………….

hahaa Tiger there is the heart..!!!

I thought it is hunger or fleas!!

Your fur will sun bleach, not sun tan.

One of the best things is being with your best friend and NOT talk. As illustrated here.

It isn’t often that Calvin’s not saying or doing anything.

Interesting factoid for a Monday morning: it’s not just a tiger’s fur that’s striped. Their skin is striped, too.

Maybe one of those reflectors will help Hobbes…

Today’s Calvin and Hobbes is a variation on a strip by Charles Schulz:Click here: Peanuts (1958)Charles Schulz’s influence can often be seen in Calvin and Hobbes, but usually as a variation with an original twist. Here is a quote from Bill Watterson:“Peanuts and Pogo have been inspirations. These strips… are much closer to my own way of thinking, and have had much more direct influence. Even so, I try to keep the cases of blatant plagiarism to a minimum.”

Well it’s keeping his nose black instead of pink, at least. Though he should probably use sunscreen on that, too!

Don’t ya just love Hobbes cute looks on panel 2-3?

I like panel 1 the best. They look so relaxed!

There’s a remedy; when Hobbes is naughty, Calvin can tan his hide.

Wow for the first time I think Hobbes is dumber than Calvin!

Are they not going to put up any Halloween one’s!?

Hobbes is blessed with natural *SPF 40 *(Scorch-Preventing Fur)

Panel #1 . . . could life be any better than that?!! If so, I don’t know how!

So cute!

xxx

I don’t really think Calvin would just be laying there.

He might lose some of his strips ??

panel 1 reminds me of that episode of db zwhen goku and gohan stay a super sayin the whole day i wonder if before panel 2 a short man threw a rock on his forehead and hobbes went super sayin!!!

No fair. I have fur AND burn.

@J_QuestGood One!!

Well, let’s be fair… he can’t check every day of every cartoon ever made before drawing each of his own. I suspect it is more a case of “Great minds warp alike”.

when will hobbes understand that only #3 sunscreen lets you get tan?

Calvin isn’t resting. He’s plotting his next mischief! :)

What if tigers did tan?
