Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 02, 2017

Calvin, make something that looks like a water buffalo and get out of there.

I think it’s a beanbag. Use a growing machine to turn it into the world’s first clay beanbag

A day after the failed report card. They forgot about art, where Calvin has an A+.

If Calvin’s happy, who are we to question it? You can’t please everybody so you’ve got to please yourself. Pitchers and catchers soon!

Welcome to the world of artistry, where the next fella’s better than you’ll ever be.

Make a pancake, put a hand print in it, give it to mom. Mom will cry and hug you and all will be forgiven

My best work of clay art in grade school was my “Paul”. I had a ball of clay and stuck my fingers in it and saw in my mind a person with a big open mouth – my brother, Paul, who tended to talk a lot. So I formed the ball of clay into a head with a big open mouth and called it “Paul”. I don’t remember what grade I got on it, but I know it was a decent grade. The teacher liked it. But when I sad it was my brother, she thought I was talking about a different brother – a quiet one. But when I said that it was Paul, she caught on. She couldn’t say so, but I knew she agreed that Paul talked too much. A trait he still has to this day – voicing opinions better left to himself and causing rifts in the family.

A super tiger! One must be the best!!

When these, who can do it so well, would help more the weaker ones, world would be a better place!!

It’s a pinch pot. One of the first things you do in a ceramics class.

Amazing what an stuffed tiger can make without opposable thumbs!

“Can I have some clay?” Yes, you can, but you may not.

Just fill the bowl up with food for the clay Hobbes to enjoy!

Hobbes’ concept would work well in bar fights:( “That’s a pretty good shot,” you would say to someone after they hit you:( You would shake it of;/ Then you would knock them the Hell out:) At least that’s what I’d imagine would happen in a bar fight, if I went to bars . . . and if I could fight:) Mama said knock you out:) Um gonna knock you out:) Mama said knock you out:) Um gonna knock you out:)

Beautiful Hobbes!
