Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 11, 2017

Cats don’t appreciate dog jokes.

A tyrannosaurus rex taught the dog to talk.

(That’s what my brother said when I showed him this strip when we were kids.)

The same way Hobbes learned to talk. Oh wait, Hobbes is a cat.

Small joke. Very small.

What does Hobbes know about sophisticated humor? He knows when he actually hears it!

hmm, and I need Urban Dictionary to get the joke…

Stuffed tigers have haunches,not heals :~)

Animals, stuffed or otherwise, DO talk. I just need enough beer in me to hear them.

hahaha I get it

Always a horrible feeling. When you tell a joke that sounds hilarious in your head and you get a look like Hobbes has in Panel #3.

There’s sophistication….and there’s sophistication

At least Calvin didn’t mess up the punchline this time.

A man is going for a walk, so he gets to his dog and says “heel!” Then the dog puts on a white coat and a stethoscope.

Spelling lessons now, all round!

The last panel reminds me of some commentators throughout this site. Instead of just enjoying a joke they over analyze it.

“How did the dog learn to talk?” asks the stuffed, talking tiger.
