Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 09, 2021

Lonely only child craves attention from busy mother.

Maybe some ocean water?

Back when Calvin’s imagine spots looked just as cartoony as the rest of the strip.

Later, Bill used a more realistic style for the imagine spots that contrasted with the cartoony-looking “real” world.

Yes. He wants you to be an unsuspecting, screaming tourist.

What Calvin wants, ma’am, is to be sent to the loony bin where — as said in that Robot Chicken skit — Mars is amazing.

He wants you to be a sucker…..for his suckers.

probably a cookie

If one thing you can be sure of is that Moms do not make Unsuspecting Tourists…. ever.

If what Calvin wants to do is tie Mom’s shoes, I think he’ll pay for it.

Obviously, he’s got too much time doing nothing; give him chores to do!!!

Yes, the slimy octopus wants the two things that sustain him the most….money and chocolate! ;D

I got a chuckle out of Mom still using a typewriter in 1991.

Another classic Watterson strip.

Yesterday, I made a comment about the response to my own comments on Sunday. Today I have been reading the replies to my comment yesterday and have added a new comment in response to them which the people who replied yesterday might like to read.

I do not think I am oversensitive as someone suggested. I like to share my own views and to read other people’s comments on my views. As someone else suggested, I am a little obsessed with my favourite comic strip hence my Username but I have other favourite strips including Wizard of Id, Andy Capp and Red and Rover.

A few days ago, I remarked on the wonderful Propeller Beanie story arc from 1989 and Brian said that he loved that story arc and that it is one of the all-time classics. I make another reference to that story arc in the comment which I have added to the comments on yesterday’s website.

I’m scared of octopuses

Octopi are generally very shy, but very intelligent creatures. Think of them as the nerds of the ocean.

I know of one species that is poisonous, but it’s small and you pretty much have to pick it up and stick your pinkie in its mouth.

Yes, food!!

With Calvin’s imagination, he be a great story writer.

Mom has Calvin wrapped around her ankle, not exactly the same as having him wrapped around her little finger.

Confine the Kraken!

Is that a old fashion typewriter?

That typewriter reminds me of the soon-to-come lego typewriter.

I bet people who can’t afford the newest iPhones really crack you up.

Where’s Lio when you need him?

What’s that black thing on Calvin’s back in the last frame. It’s not registering.

Nothing to do with today, but a guest appearance:

He sounds like Bill the Cat from Bloom County does.
