Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 04, 2021

I’m done with my homework!

Does that mean he finished his homework or he no longer wants to be bothered with his homework?

Well at least this gives his parents time to check the homework.

Five minutes later: “Dad’s car is burning!”

Better hurry and check your “Homework-finishing genius” son’s homework before it’s too late!

Calvin is behaving, or at least appearing to be innocent; be afraid, be very afraid!

I’ve noticed that effect w/ Spouse. We’re both experiencing some hearing loss. When she fails to hear what I said, she simply ignores it. No “what?”, no “repeat please”, not even “mmhm”. It’s training me NOT to share nice tidbits… sad.

Calvin? What did you do with the black and white rug in front of the door in the fourth frame?

Or if a warrant is issued.

YOU FORGOT HOBBES!

Maybe…….‘Calvin’ grows up and changes his name to…….Douglas Edwards and works for CBS News ! ! ! ! !

Ah, back in the day when bullitins didn’t come in 24/7/365

Calvin’s tiny world where he is the center of everything.

CBS…Calvin Broadcasting System…

Calvin is the ideal child….in an alternate universe.

At some point we stopped reporting our every move to our parents or handlers of the day. Our answers became “not much”, “nowhere special” and the ever popular “meh”. But give someone a Facebook(or as I like to call it Mugbook) account or Twitter and suddenly we know how much butter they put on theirs toast at the Lucky Rattlesnake Diner a couple of minutes ago.

He never said he was finished, he said he was done with it! Just like he got his jacket but that does not mean he will be wearing it at all times!

only slightly self-centered, right?

You know I’ve been saying “Further bulletins as events warrant” for over 30 years now?

“Hobbes, I believe I shall take a bath.”

“I’ll alert the media.”

(From the movie Arthur. Arthur’s butler was named Hobbes.)

“…further bulletins as events warrant!”  And they will!!

Calvin wants to be on Santa’s List

Hmmm, I think Calvin has foreseen Facebook.

Glad to see the improvement in drawing Calvin’s mouth compared to earlier pages.

See Calvin, the more correct things you do, the less attention you’ll receive.

I’ve quoted this last panel so many times.

He forgot Hobbs.

Since when did 6 year olds get homework? I went to a Catholic preschool and kindergarten and didn’t get any even there.

Oh I’m sure there will be further bulletins!

Apparently mom and dad are not listening to the regular tweets. Wonder why Hobbes is not around.

Twitter avant la lettre
