Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 02, 2013

Be afraid of Calvin when he wants to be helpful.

Try asking your dad next time

I love your comment!!!!!!!!!!!

Aw – poor kid – no opportunity to create havoc!

Girl’s can hammer and saw with the best of them.

Play music with the saw, it’s beautiful, when you do it well!

“To a man with only a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.”

Did santa bring hammer and nails for Calvin,and a saw for Hobbes ?

mom need a girl…

“I see,” said the blind man, as he picked up a hammer and saw.

I saw Esau, he saw me,The fact is, we all three saw.For I saw Esau, he saw me,And Kate saw I saw Esau.

You should have saw that coming, Calvin.

if you were a girl calvin, that would be a whole new set of problems, concerns, and issues. especially, the teenage years.

Keep your chin up, Calvin.

When it comes to sawing and pounding, I’d trust any six-year-old girl over Calvin.

It seems like Calvin’s mom is the one who needs as many tools as possible — parenting tools, that is.

Here’s a Peanuts strip from about two years after baby Linus was introduced:Click here: Peanuts (February 18, 1954)Here’s one from one year after baby Schroeder was introduced, and Schroeder has aged considerably faster than Linus did. Notice that the piano faces the opposite direction from the later years when Lucy would lean on it:Click here: Peanuts (May 7, 1952)

Measure twice, saw once. Or is it the reverse? OOPS.

Very few six year olds have their own collection of nails. I think his creativity and ambition should be encouraged.

Just, not at my house.

Wait til Dad gets home, Calvin. He probably has something he needs, nailed, sawed and sanded.

Now would be the time to find him a piece of scrap lumber, and let him hammer and saw to his heart’s content.

Mom wanted a girl.I think Calvin nailed it!

With the saw and hammer, Calvin could have offered to do his Mom’s nails for her…bandages required.

For peace sake, woman! Give the poor kid a few stray boards, put him in a soundproof room and let him hammer away! it will keep him non-destructively occupied and you will have a few precious hours of tranquility

Then there was the blind carpenter who picked up his hammer and saw.

It is worse for Calvin to be with tools than Tim The Tool Man Taylor.

Aren’t boys ment to be like that?

the one answer that fits any situation is……?get a bigger hammer.

Awwwwwww….

She loves you, Calvin. Besides if you had a little sister you would torment her.

LOL xxx

Thanks Hobbes and TC! : )

A girl may have been exactly like him.

When I was a small child about the age of Calvin and didn’t know any better, I was outside one day and for some reason I was trying and trying to pound a nail into a steel rod…It was very frustrating and I started to bawl and went inside totell my parents… Little did I know then that its impossible to pound a nail into some steel with a simple hammer… On a secondary note, My mom who is no longer living has mentioned to other people on several occasions that she stillbelieves that they gave her the wrong baby at the hospital !!I don’t really know for certain.. Perhaps they did.

A six-year old with a hammer and a tiger with a saw and both gung-ho to go to work with those tools! Wow! What a household.

Or, just after the CPO had lectured his section about the various kinds of wrench and the proper use of each one, one of his swabbies asked “Gimmie a wrench, a big one.”

.

The Chief asked if he wanted any specific kind.

.

“Nah, it doesn’t matter; I’m gonna use it as a hammer anyway.”

With Calvin, it’s ALWAYS something! The question is, WHAT??
