    Call Moe names to lure him away from the swing, Calvin.

    Does ‘bully’ mean the same in England as in the US?…..

    Right now, Calvin can use the chant Northwestern football fans use: “That’s all right! That’s OK! You’ll all work for us someday!”

    You won’t be successful with your attitude toward academics, Calvin.

    I gloated when one of my bullies died in his fifties. And I’m not ashamed, either.

    The nemesis of mine has been serving for a while in prison (drug dealing). Not enough time, but I keep on hoping.

    Since this strip is based on Bill’s own childhood, did he have to confront a bully like Moe? And if so, did the adults in his life do anything about it—unlike Calvin’s indifferent parents?

    And they say that the Neanderthal’s are no longer with us. I disagree.

    Bullies never change. No matter who or where, that mentality directs their lives and those of the people they eventually marry and their offspring. And sometimes, the original victim will become bullies of those with whom they share their lives – a way of ‘getting back.’

    You would think if Calvin can weather one of Hobbe’s welcome home attacks, or one of Hobbe’s tackles on the football field, or even one of Spaceman Spiff’s horrifying creatures from another dimension, he’d be able to come up with a method to face Moe’s intimidation tactics.

    Around the time I was in fifth or sixth grade I had a bully like that. I’d bet money he, Nelson, ended up in prison. Looking back sixty years ago, I’m sure he came from a poor family situation. Unlike Calvin, I’ll not gloat over his misfortunes.

    I only had one problem with one bully growing up, but he rarely bothered me. One time I saw him beating on his much younger brother. “I’ll kill you!” screamed the younger brother. Not long after that, the bully was killed in a hunting accident, with the younger brother as the only witness. The “official story” is that he was pulling a shotgun out of the back seat of his car, barrel first, and the gun went off, right into his chest. Hmmm…

    As much as I love Calvin and Hobbes, I never liked the Moe strips. They are true to life, such people exist, and then grow up to vote for evil narcissists. :’(

    Yes, that’s right Moe, degrade and humiliate someone for doing exactly what you wanted him to do, thus making it less likely you’ll get your way in the future.

    Notice that there never seems to be a playground supervisor at recess. And why doesn’t anyone try to stop him? One single time, Calvin’s mom called the school, Moe got a talking-to, and returned the money that he “borrowed” from Calvin. Moe said that “someone” ratted on him. Didn’t occur to him that it had to have been Calvin or Calvin’s parents, which either indicates just how dim Moe is, or that Calvin is only one of many that he picks on.

    Okay here’s the pitch… We saw a “present” where Calvin is reunited with Hobbes… What about a “present” where Calvin visits a reformed Moe and helps him with his “Mission House” for abused children? I believe Berkeley Breathed put the reunion piece together. Or perhaps the hospital janitor in some of the “present” Bloom County panels could turn out to be Moe? Just dreaming I guess…

    Moe probably grew up to become a cop. He will never go to prison, sadly….

    Wait until Moe goes to prison to be someone B I T C H then he would be begging, pleaded, and crying and no one would listen to him when the prisoners do unspeakable things to him (no joke I heard that on “Beyond Scared Stright”)
