Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 10, 2011

Don’t bother with your agent, call the cops.

Someday Calvin will be bigger than Moe but Moe will probably be in a reformatory when that happens.

Or the undertaker

Travel agent anyone. Or call mom and rat hin out for the bribe.

The quarter totally dated the strip. In the third panel it appears he’s contemplating how many quarters it takes to repair broken bones.

Moe: Strong like truck. Smart like streetcar.

Never mind that, Calvin. Call your travel agent. Want to get away?

You are rich Calvin…!!!!! but call your mom o.kay

Ah, the good old days when you could say to someone “here’s a penny. Go weigh.”

Twinkies = “Sweet Nothins” – Brenda Lee

Does “smart like streetcar” really mean anything, or is it just a nonsense phrase or something of that nature?

Thanks @Dogsniff…now I want one too!!!

i had a tough guy demand money from me in jr high so i brought it to him 4 rolls of quarters in a sock knocked him cold with the first swing broke his jaw to be carefull what you ask for .

my nephew uses a straw to suck the filling out of them

good call Calvin!

I like how there’s quite a few comics in my local paper that try to imitate “The Far Side”. Not one attempts the impossible task of imitating “Calvin and Hobbes”.

finkd said,“@Kis,Sharp as a bowling ball.”That one is right down my alley. I was rolling in the aisles.It was sharp as ‘attack’, although I hope you didn’t mean it that way!

One day, after adulthood, Calvin will be a successful lawyer or doctor and Moe will be mucking out horse stalls. However, at the 10, 20, etc. class reunions, the old pecking orders will still be in vogue and Moe will once again lord it over Calvin. I’ve seen that at my own class reunions………..

Well done Mayor!

There are no more pay phones.

A good plan…..& run….

“it’s gonna be a dark day”? For Moe, this is pretty erudite.

Moe did not have a change of hart.just orders.But I love Calvins look of relief ,for not being threatened by that buffoon .Best strip ever.

Why isn’t the school expelling this hooligan?

Well at least Moe didn’t actually find out it was Calvin…

I hope he never does either.

xxx

Does Moe in this strip remind you of Moe of the Three Stooges??

I feel the same way about M & M’s, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and raspberry-flavored jelly-filled donuts!!!!!

;-)

About the love of twinkies. There is a true story of a college prof putting a twinkie on a ledge on the top of the blackboard… and it stayed there for 30 years and never changed.

If Moe finds out that Calvin’s mother is responsible, what is he going to do, get his father involved in this?

Sounds very Oedipusian

@41keys,It was “speckled with bits of mold …(but) it never spoiled!”Twinkie, twinkielittle bar.How I wonder what you are.

@ratlum,Look at Calvin in panel 2! He’s sweating it out in case Moe ever does “find out who”, and also, that’s why Calvin intends to call his insurance agent. :o)

Just listened to the song. It’s really good! I listened to it 3 times as I liked it that much.

You take care!

Sorry, Mom, you got sued, so I have to pretend I don’t know you so nobody thinks I did anything.

Lights out for Calvin.

Maybe Calvin should look into Charles Atlas excercises himself.

Moe maintains only 24hrs records..

that sounds great!….yeah a Twinkie AND chocolate diet!!! YAY!!!

It’s too bad that the chemical preservatives don’t keep PEOPLE away from all those empty calories. The chickens eventually come home to roost. However, I have to reap what I sow, also. We are all flawed in one way or another.Give me a whole-grain banana nut or cranberry nut bread, or raisin bran muffin instead!
