Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 12, 2018

Hobbes, there won’t be anyone to make tuna sandwiches for you.

Is Hobbes a sociopath or something?

Calvin, even you should know that Mom’s TLC will cure anything.

Hobbes – no need for so much ill will, the kid is already sick!

Wow Hobbes is selfish.

Calvin’s dad is a lawyer. He could help Calvin update his will. Calvin will wonder why dad picked this moment to discuss that subject.

Who will you pounce on than, Hobbes?

Absolutely true-to-life stuff for a frightened little kid- why is it always night when they get REALLY sick and delirious?

Wow, Hobbes shows off a mean streak I forgot he had!

. . . or something? It’s a stuffed toy. Calvin’s the one with the problem. I grew up in inner city Chicago (1950’s). I never thought I would be happy to say that; but, because I had at least 30 different friends to associate with, I didn’t have to have a stuffed toy. And, because I wasn’t Home-Schooled, I was able to develop social skills. Poor Calvin.

Calvin, after what I have been through in the last 3 years, being sick at night is NOTHING. But, a six-year olds imagination does tend to run wild ! ! !

That’s Hobbes – ever the pragmatist

Hobbes is on the wrong side of the bed. What’s up with that?

Hobbes is just jealous that Calvin got all the attention from Mom.

Sleepless tigers can be sort of grouchy.

sickness and most times serious sickness does indeed make for serious reflection on life

I don’t know why, but when I was sick as a kid, I would have terrible nightmares about MATH problems! I did hate math.

Get concerned, Hobbs. If you lose the kid, you will have a .50 sticker at the yard sale.

Hobbes is letting Calvin know he’s not sick enough to die.

I wonder why they changed sides?

If Calvin were to die at a young age, Hobbes would more than likely be buried with him, so the only thing he’d get to look forward to sleeping in is a coffin.

I know What that is like quite literally

How about a tiger that is hangry?

Calvin I know being sick and not able to sleep at night is a bummer. For me just when I get ready for shower and bed, my phooey brain starts thinking all kinds of bad stuff, makes me mad.

Always remember when turning to a tiger for comfort, you are comfort food. Panthera Tigris Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus.

“It IS your last night alive if you don’t shut up.”

Calvin there is a difference between a tiger who’s up to late and a tiger that’s being kept up to late.

There is one thing less comforting: a hungry tiger when you’re out of tuna fish.

Jeez, Calvin you are acting like it a WCS! (Worst Case Scenario)
