Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 02, 2024

Did Chuck Palahniuk rip off Bill Watterson?

No way you can repeat that attack, Calvin.

Hahahaha! That is a good one!

The incredibly annoying human echo seems to have malfunctioned.

Is this the only time Calvin outwitted Hobbes?

If you have memorized the Gettysburg Address, you can see how much the other person can remember. My dad was a minister and he used that to practice giving a speech at home.

Welp, it was bound to happen sooner or later…

Literally beating himself up.

Some things are worth the quarter. Others are worth the consequences. \(^o^)/

How to win friends and influence people……

I guess that trick only works in the comics.

Calvin should know that tigers don’t have a sense of humor.

I tried that on my father once. The 3rd sentence he said was “Please, Father, beat me about my head and neck until I bleed”. Nope, I wasn’t going down that road (not that he would have beat me)

Oof. That’s not nice Calvin

Actually, the checkmate move here for Hobbes would be to say “Susie Derkins thinks I’m handsome, and likes me.”

Leave it to Hobbes to bring Hunter Biden into it.

So…

Calvin antagonizes someone twice his size, with the speed and strength and claws of a predatory cat.

Smart move Calvin, smart move.

Yay Calvin! Savor your victory!

HA GOTTTT EMMMM!!!

You just had to go that one step too far, huh, Calvin!

I like to think Calvin got that messed up courtesy of only one thump from Hobbes.

He’s not lying… someone did that to me

Cal still gets a bit of satisfaction that will last after the bruises go away.

Why not try “Hobbes, you look very handsome today”?

LOL…. Hobbes is smarter than your average little smart a**….

That was real maul by the feline. Calvin does not stand a chance.

That worked for Bugs Bunny but you ain’t a stinker, are you, Calvin?

I did that to my older brother once. It was totally worth the pummelling I got for it.

Was it worth it, Calvin?

a win! (a lot like what certain fascists think they get over “libs”)

When the Dad tried what Hobbes did in the October 12, 1987 strip, Calvin still didn’t fall for it.

Doesn’t he get tired of getting beat up? Calvin is a slow learner.

Hobbes should have said “Calvin is” instead of “I’m an”.

Siam wattagoo.

Calvin did this to Dad earlier in the strip. When Dad said he’d forfeit his desserts for a week, Calvin said ‘Give them to me.’

I think lumpy gravy for brains is giving Calvin too much credit.

bro done got disrespected ☠️☠️☠️
