Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 07, 2012

Sometimes the enemies appear in masses and you wonder how many they are!

Keep your friends close…..keep your enemies closer….

Third panel art is amazing!

This is why Susie takes the long way home.

Mom knows Calvin really well

Smack one of your friends with that, and you might have more.

He doesn’t need more enemies. He just needs to be more patient. :)

From the angle of the moon, it looks like he stayed up all night.

This Calvin and Hobbes strip was originally published on the 4th of July. Calvin missed seeing the fireworks because he was too busy trying to create some of his own.

Isn’t Mo enemy enough for you?

@Citizen GROG: No, Calvin wants mo enemies.

“Calvin and a water balloonStanding behind a tree,W – A – I – T -I – N – G !First comes dusk,And then comes night,And then comes MomAbout to turn out the light.”(Sorry……… it’s late…….)

“I think that I shall never seeA kid who waits so patientlyStanding there behind the treeHolding a watered-down gift for thee”(Sorry………..it’s even later……….)

“Roses are red…..”Never mind.

Mom knows Calvin’s future as Dictator of the Universe.

I like how pannel 3 appears to be inked that way by hand and not done the modern shortcut way of reversing tint.

Have a good dream My Boy…

Don’t you that find Calvin’s nasty smile is too nasty? I like Watterson’s art but not for that. Too much!

Hahahahahaaaaaa!!

Mother knows best.

From the decals of Calvin urinating on things I’ve seen in peoples back windows, I’d say he has his wish.

Do you mean to say that everyone who went by Calvin all day and into the evening was not his enemy?

Calvin, are you sure you need enemies when you have friends like Moe!

someday SOooooN !

@MagicFan: It was a parody on a playground taunt:Calvin and SusieSitting in a tree,K – I – S – S —I – N – GFirst comes love,And then comes marriage,And then comes SusieWith the baby carriage.

Mothers can be so reassuring.

@Richard Roush: Yes, San Diego had some problem with the “fire” command. Strange. Usually the fire works.

I know this strip is old, but I must have missed that one! Hilarious!

I believe his babysitter is still too much to handle. He needs more experience to face more enemies.

Awwwwwww!

How about Susie?

LOL LOL xxx

Mom has a flawless sense of irony.

I’ve read all of the books in the series, yet I could swear that I’ve never read this strip. Are there some that aren’t in the books?

Calvin I am sure you will.

@MagicFan: Oh, that excessive word repetition. Looks like Rat agrees that he doesn’t like the word repetition. The poetry also had too much word repetition. That’s two things with too much word repetition. Too much word repetition for one day.

Calvin, wait until you get married to Suzie….

He will be fed up from enemies when he start to university.He also will have some frenemies,too :)

If he did it on Hobbes; “As if life isn’t short enough.”

That first panel must be the one used for the Evil Calvin bumper stickers.

Please don’t speak for “all” of us. Thanks.

@Hobbes,You sound like Doubleup (from Dick Tracy)!

Hobbes, thanks for the Pearls of Wisdom. Priceless!
