Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 13, 2009

Oh, are you gonna get it, Calvin!

yep, same thing as my wife’s snoring.

And I can guarantee the result is going to be the same as well.

DO IT DO IT!!!

At least Calvin’s blowing his own horn.

In the fifth panel, Hobbes tackles Calvin, from the side of the bed, in the nick of time (for the sake of Mom and Dad).

i find this strip very edducational. lol calvin i think i would have to beat you. :0)

A trumpets blast The call to repast Calvin signals reveille In elephant form He exceeds the norm Why is he so evilly?

Uhhhhhh, Cleo, did you know your wife is now reading this strip? Been nice knowin’ ya!

oh Calvin….this strip is the best from of birth control.

Oh oh… parents should have had hind sight and muted that trumpet! A banana would’ve done nicely!

Dawn arrives on the ever treacherous Serengeti

PWOEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! …..and mom and dad hitting the ceiling…..

Seeing Dad in the next panel – priceless!

Music soothes the savage breast. And blaring trumpets are the best To awaken within us the savage beast Though still yearning for the quiet peace, While Calvin with his trampled horn thus ends his quest.

Another good reason to make birth control retroactive to 1950

But the (African) elephant is not a very smart mammal–as his trumpeting arouses a 10-tonne Piveteasaurus!

does anyone know how to e-mail and or contact this website?

Why did his parents ever gave him a trumpet after all?

Looks like our favourite stip is coming to an end. If Calvin blows that trumpet Dad is going to kill him. Unless we want to read about the adventures of Hobbes who may find another little boy but he won’t be as much fun as Calvin.

Calvin is gonna be in deep sh^^ if he blows that horn!

Holding my stomach and rolling on the floor!

Ah, elephants are my favorite animal… where’d he get the trumpet? It must be new, otherwise he would have done this a long time ago.

I wonder if this is what my kids had in mind when they jumped on the bed on Saturday mornings.

His parents must be saints to have allowed him to survive for six years.

I wonder if he’s going to play reveille.

There’s a reason the only musical instrument my sons had were little toy xylophones.

If my nephew were old enough to read I would send him this.

Wakeup Call

Once again Waterson shows his true tallents. Art, imagination & mystery… Makes you wonder just how grown up he really is. :)

I’m 63 years old, never been married and not a mother, but I adore Calvin. I can’t help but wonder how long a household would survive with Calvin and the dark-haired little girl from Non-Sequitor. I think the house would implode…but it would be hysterical until then. Thank you Mr. Waterson for bringing some laughter to this world with all the horrid news out there. Bootsgirl

This is one of my FAVORITE Calvin strips. You gotta love it!

Can’t think of anything more pathetic than seeing a five ton elephant crying and holding it’s butt.

Why, o why in the name of all things holy would these seemingly reasonably intelligent people allow a bugle into the house????

lol

Time for a spanking

Oooh, the anticipation!

Right up there with the monsters-under-the-bed one: “You irritate them with the bicycle horn and I’ll get them with the arrows when they show up.”

grazer - thanks for the hilarious visual!:)

this reminds me sooo much of my little brother. he likes to play my moms old trumpet at early hours of the morning, as well as late hours at night. it gets annoying but nobody has complained yet!!(:

Carmy: More like the Last Post!

At five tons, he is the largest land mammal with a teeny, tiny evil brain.

I do wish Mr Watterson would make a comeback, Calvin and Hobbes are too good to just fade into history.

Oh he wouldn’t see the light of day for at least a month if he were my kid.

talk about a rude awakening! :-D

I see a swift back hand in Calvin’s future!

UH-OH! Love it! I can imagine his parents will shot waaaaaaaaaay up the roof after Calvin blows the horn very loudest. The karma will get Calvin for being a sinister mishievously. LOLs! X-D

Have you ever noticed how close the word “revile” is to “reveille”? I think Calvin is about to become a paint color - smooshed against the wall.

Nice hilarious comment, Phil White. Love it ………

Phil White that was a good one.

and to think what some of us were grounded for as kids … this would be enormous

grazer says: Can’t think of anything more pathetic than seeing a five ton elephant crying and holding it’s butt.

LOVE IT!!

thank you joy618!

Calvin must like being grounded. He’s sure not going to be ungrounded for years to come.

Calvin gets a butt-warming in 3….2….1

Is Calvin the elephant on the Endangered Species List? He could be going the way of the Dodo!

amphibian and mammal, a evolution!

no wonder he is an only child.

Calvin thinks he’s going to play reveille, but he might as well play taps instead.

Hey, how come he was so tired on May 11 and is so wide awake this morning? :)

re: blackman2732

naaaa ya think???

Where did the trumpet come from? It’s a present from his uncle. Noise makers are classic uncle presents.

Did this once with a stereo. Dad was stuck home from work sick with the flu from one of us kids. Take a wild guess what part of his monogrammed belt I met.
