Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 22, 2022

New version of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.

There’s also how you win the game too. Good luck getting away with that, Calvin.

The old hidden ball trick.

Didn’t I read about some gormless team that sewed brown football shaped patches on their jerseys so the opposing players had a hard time deciding who had the real football?

It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you survive the tiger attack.

Your definition of ‘losing’ is too narrow.

At the moment, Cal’s view is a good one, but it usually doesn’t last very long

I agree with Calvin about one thing. It isn’t important to win but to have fun. Calvin sometimes says this but there are also times when he forgets it.

Reminds me of the tricks the Harlem Globetrotters got up to many years ago on B&W TV.

Mom and Dad are probably used to Calvin’s bruises and lacerations.

Dad would claim they “build character”.

No mater how hard he tries, Calvin will always be transparent…LOL

The unofficial slogan of Calvinball!

Bill Belichick.

“it’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you lay the blame.”

I think that has changed to “It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose as long as nobody thinks they lose.” Just my interpretation.

Calvin better hope Hobbes does not catch him again…

Ah, the old Calvinball sneak play.

Wouldn’t that be a version of the Statue of Liberty play?

“Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat” – Bobby Heenan.

Gives whole new meaning to the phrase “Running for the endzone as though his life depended on it.”

In “Calvin Ball” the rules are meant to be rewritten.

“No more gentleman’s stuff, from now on, you fights my way…dirty!’ ~ Yosemite Sam

The Three Stooges.

calvinball at it’s best

Think you are about to find out how tigers play the game. To win.

The old hidden ball trick in a new sport.

Think Calvin could ever work for Bill Belichek.
