Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 01, 2012

Kids do the darnest things. lol

No mere classroom can hold our superhero, Spaceman Spiff!(As our hero blasts out of Monument Valley!)

Loved that “bloatoid captors” myself!

Mom will fire the braking thrusters.

It will definitely be his last line ever when Mom catches him!

Sounds really familiar, but let’s hope for our sake we’re still far from there yet. “per aspera ad astra”!

It’s only a week until Easter. Don’t we get to see last year’s beautiful eggs again? I was kind of looking forward to seeing them once more.

Makes me long for boyhood again…everything was new and explorable …and imagination was king….

Reminds me of a true story. At a local school sports day ( elementary school), some decades ago, one boy ran in slow motion in the 100 metres. When he was asked why he had done it he replied that it was the way the six million dollar man ran. Imagination runs riot in the very young, just as it should. Although it can get embarrassing in later years.

How come Calvin wants to collect bugs now, when it was a school assignment in an earlier strip he waited until the morning his project was due?

Calvin’s about to go where no man has gone before when Mom gets through with him.

That may be so, but there are plenty more strips to go before the end is even near.

Off the subject of today’s comic……..but does anyone know on what day on our calendar Nisan 14 falls this year? If you do, I would appreciate a reply and thank you for your help.

Based on some comments made three weeks or a month ago or so I was thinking that maybe Furnituremaker or Gato Cat or Rogue 53 might know. Or maybe someone else???

Back to the comic……ain’t imagination a wonderful thing?

I believe in reincarnation and after I expire I’ll come back as Calvin. . . WATCH OUT WORLD!

long time ago I do it like Calvin ha ha ahaa

It’s all the teachers fault!

Now don’t go get yourself thrown out of the village again, please…

Was Ms. Wormwood just about to subtract five from four?

Why is Mom acting so surprised, …shocked, even? (Snagglepuss)

Calvin should have waited for school transportation to get him home; now he’s ’bus’ted!

….“bloatoid captors”…reminds me of my current job!

LOL! we havent heard the end of this =D

Re bluskiesYou will only see last years eggs if you didn’t find them where they were hidden last year and happen to step on one of the old ones this year.

Great strip! I love Calvin’s daydreams! “Half a micro-moment later…” Hahahaha!!!!

You’re in BIG trouble now, Calvin.

No supper for you!

Or will the Mother have other ideas?

xxx

Wish this was out when I was a kid. Would have love the ideas for his snowmen!

Awesome!But not very realistic, everyone knows magnetronic altitude-o-lators take about 5 minutes to pressurize.

Brilliant artwork and I love the joy on Calvin’s face.

The exact line in the last C&H on 12-31-1995 was “It’s a magical world, Hobbes, ol’ buddy… Let’s go exploring!”

I love Spaceman Spiff. But Calvin is in a world of hurt.

Yes Mom he did it again.

Good that we didn’t have a phone in the ’40’s, elsewise, I’d have turned out normal. Oh, them poor teachers, though.But they taught me incentive to be what I am today. Retired.

During the period of this comic I think the paddle was still being used.Should still…

the first panel is the photo they took for the thumbnail

Calvin did what the rest of us have dreamed of doing. I slipped off betwen classes once and got a weeks detention. But it was such a pretty spring day.

Calvin has got some big ones! But wait until Mom & Dad jack him up. Grounded until he’s 42!

C’mon Calvin! You said that we were going to go on a space adventure together! You know what? I’m exploring Mars, and the 7th dimension without you!

I never got the sequence of magnetronic altitude-o-lators and turbo hyper-thrust drive down—so I never made it past the school door. . . .

I had a teacher like Ms. Wormwood when I was Calvin’s age. While I did have a big imagination, my home was not within distance where I could escape to it.

I also must say I like the looks on the other students’ faces in the upper row too.

BUSTED CALVIN, have fun while you can!

“I said that Calvin escaped for the Public Education Gulag, and is now on the loose!”

Calvin should have run away somewhere but his house with Hobbes

Those psychologists probably never had kids….and definitely any like Calvin.

I like how he gets home flying by way of Monument Valley in New Mexico!

If i’m not mistaken, the first panel is what Gocomics is using for their Calvin and Hobbes picture on the comics page.

Hey Spiff, don’t forget to set the mertalizer on deep fat fry, there are bloatoids all over the joint, not to mention the mom police who have just been alerted….

Calvin’s headed back to school really soon

Ms. Wormwood: YOUR SON JUST NEEDS SPECIAL NEEDS!!!
