Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 25, 2023

Punished in a flash…..

Just as well. The censors at GoComics wouldn’t have allowed it.

Next they’re going to demand that Calvin’s parents explain how Calvin even knows bad words.

That’s total b_ _ _ _ _ _ _ !

* * * * * *

Gabby Johnson from Blazing Saddles would do OK on GoComics… as long as that bell kept ringing.

Is blaspheme against Voodoo or Satanism OK?

What’s a four-letter word for intercourse? …. “TALK”.

What goes in hard and long and comes out soft and sticky? “A STICK OF GUM”

Keep it going?

Surprising Calvin isn’t cooling his heels in the principal’s office!!

Bah! Those kids probably know most of those words anyway…

You’re lucky you didn’t get sent to the principal’s office.

W – - -

Time for another parent teacher conference!

Careful of walking the Lenny Bruce path Calvin. It didn’t work out well for him…

This could make for a fun adult game, though…

D—-

Cal keeps pushing the boundaries and they keep pushing back.

SCREAMING FUNNY COMIC!

Should have done the routine, “I can’t pay the rent”. It’s simple and cute! Maybe next time!

Freedom of thought is great. But some things are best kept as thoughts.

It depends on the vocabulary, Calvin.

The Count finds it a bit disturbing that Calvin knows such words in the first place. Seriously. He never uses them when referring to Suzy. And The Count and Countess are thankful he does not and appreciates it.

I never liked flash cards. They always flashed stuff I didn’t know. Like 7 × 9 = _ or pretty much anything x 7. I try to avoid any math that has a 7 in it.

Aren’t we all?

Fuuuudge! ((Only I didn’t say ‘fudge’).

Profanity is the linguistic crutch of the inarticulate mother******.

Hmmm… Calvin’s parents better monitor what websites Calvin is frequenting.

Obscene t-shirts with “dashes” are still obscene t-shirts.

Something that kids say in Call of Duty lobbies (multiple answers): _ _ gg _ _

Funny how slang changes with each generation but swear words stay the same

Black board, chalk, eraser, manual pencil sharpener and American Flag…what year is this?

“It’s good taste not bad taste which is the enemy.”—Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali. I’m 100% with them.

I think Calvin would approve of all the jokes above!

Heh, imagine the chaos that would ensue with the class all shouting swear words in unison!

Calvin would probably have better luck if he did so in high school!

…/…./../_

Gotta give the kid great marks for knowing the difference between vulgar, obscene, and blasphemous.

“We have more ways to describe dirty words than we actually have dirty words.” —George Carlin (youtu.be/kyBH5oNQOS0)

Words define things humans with magical thinking give them powers of obscenity and blasphemy.

He missed scatological.

Didn’t Country Joe McDonald liberate over a half a million people at Woodstock by diffusing the F-word by having them shout it at the top of their lungs!!!

“****,another*****plan ruined!”

Well, s – - – !

I hope a can of worms hasn’t been opened here because this is my favorite strip followed by Pickles and Liberty Meadows (used to be Ripleys B.I.O.N. before it got boring).

S_ _ _ ! (Sure!)

Let’s hope he doesn’t pitch this as a game show.

Anyone that feels the need to say cus and vulgar words in every sentence need help. There is no need to talk like that.

as if your classmates want to get in trouble form their parents and your own parents, Calvin

How is it, that I don’t remember this one? LMAO. :D

Not far wrong there Calvin.

He correctly identified the three categories of “cursing” — vulgarity, obscenity, and blasphemy.

I can take a hint on where he learned those words from…
