Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 01, 2009

To busy to play, eh?

Hi everyone i’m new here. Does anyone here know my dad wolfbyte36. He’s not home right now because he’s working on our new house. Igot to go to bed now cause i have school tomorrow so goodnight everyone.

What a world! What’s with hikeing and discovering nature!

And what about time to go to gocomics and read the comments? What happened to freedom 55?

As ladywolf17, my daughter says I’m busy working on the new house getting it ready to be moved into so I won’t have time much to post. Please be respectfull to ladywolf17 as she will be taking over the computer for awhile. get to know her and introduce her to the wonderfull world of comics. Let her know that you care as I care for each and eveyone of you. Thank you and may your days be filled with happiness and sunshine.

that’s what happens, Calvin- you start doing more and more stupid stuff and less and less of the great exploring and discovering stuff…

Don’t complain too much Cal. There’s sure a lot of time to play Calvinball, to do funny things with a water balloon or the transmogrifier or the toboggan or ………….

Nice to hear from you ladywolf.

Calvin, avoid school at all costs. The prime reason for school is to destroy imagination and initiative and replace them with bland conformity. Is it any wonder that Dickens namned his teacher Mr McChokemchild?

Well, Calvin, you still got Children’s Day! Happy Children’s Day!

School can be cool.

If calvin is lucky he will find a vocation which allows him to do what he really loves. Perhaps he will invent a real transmogrifier, or be the one who finds way to transoport people ala Star Trek. Or peraps he will be the one to become a space explorer like Spaceman Spiff. There is so much that Calvin can become if he can make school and dreams work together.

Well Calvin, I’ve spent those 11 years of school, then had 4 years at uni, followed by full time work, now back at uni for another 4 years!

Perhaps I love being a nerd, but I still have time for comics though!

Hello Ladywolf 17.

but calvin, when you are going to school you are exploring and discovering things all the time… you just don’t see it that way at the time

ladywolf17: welcome to gocomics. I only discovered this sight myself a few months ago and really enjoy it

Welcome to the fun & excitement that is GoComics. I think you’ll enjoy the various characters you’ll run into both in the strips and in the posts. Generally, we’re a safe bunch! Just don’t give out personal information about yourself here or anywhere on this thing we call

if y’all want to talk…so somewhere else….if you want to discuss the comic…OK.

how about when he is retired…too busy being grumpy, perhaps?

Solution: Calvin make the above pitch to dad; dad will then take away Calvin’s moron-box privileges and Calvin will have plenty of playing time (some of the erstwhile moron-box allocated time).

I don’t think Calvin has to worry about college or graduate school. Plus, weekend television is WAY less interesting as an adult (unless you’re a sports fan).

WWSMSD? (what would space man spiff do?)

When you have to work, you wish you din’t have to. When you can no longer work or get laid off, you wish you could work. Never satisfied.

When you get home from school and Hobbes gets you coming thru the door you’ll forget all about this ugly thought.

Welcome ladywolf17.

Enjoy the comics, talk away if you wish and by all means enjoy yourself.

With his imagination Calvin should be a writer of some kind, space novels or comics. He could actually enjoy his work.

Welcome ladywolf17!

And what about sitting together with friends and relations, gossiping and having a fine time?

Welcome ladywolf17 Your dad wolfbyte36 is alright!

@ peachesandpearls: Where else are we going to welcome a newocmer if not where we see the post?

Calvin- turn off the T.V. and tune back into life. Have fun!

dont worry calvin you’ll probably be expelled before you get to college. or you’ll be making a transmogrifier and they’ll realise you’re to smart for college. question wats is a transmogrifier?

Despite all the complaining, school is stiil a fun place, giving many happy memories.

welcome lady wolf you picked the best comic page to introduce yourself on. if you dont mind i would like to ask quetions about you like how old are you and all. and dont worry im not going to critise anything about you i just want to get to know you ok. :)

Calvin won’t even realize all that when he gets older, when he’s lost his imagination.

oh by the way, i am also new…

TV is important! Everyone knows that!

yes I agree with you but last year I started studying in Syria and its toooooo diffrent like they cant watch what i watched or what i read from my country so we dont have anything in common and nothing to talk about

As Shakespeare said “If all the year were playing holidays, to sport would be as tedious as to work.” Calvin you will learn soon enough that all that playing has life application. And if you learn your playing lessons well enough, work will not be dreary at all.

Can we get a do over in life and be a kid again? Being a kid is great.

Oddly enough, as I was reading this my own seven-year-old son, whose name is Calvin, came downstairs and made the same complaint–too much school and not enough time to play. Luckily though, he’s not a TV junkie and gets in plenty of adventure during his off hours.

Calvin, follow in Mark Twain’s footsteps. Never let schooling get in the way of your education.

“Calvin, follow in Mark Twain’s footsteps. Never let schooling get in the way of your education.”

Bravo, I forgot about that one.

And never let education be confused with intelligence

Cheer up, Calvin. You can go back to reading comics and getting into mischief in another 60 years.

”Imagination is more important than knowledge.” ~Albert Einstein

Wow, Calvin, you sure are getting ahead of yourself! You’re assuming you’re going to college and grad school but you have to graduate elementary and high school first! Poor Susie has been “carrying you” in your studies lately but she’s onto you and that’s not going to last forever. When that happens and you have to do it on your own, then what will you do?!?!?!?!?

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if schools looked at each child’s natural gifts and assisted them in developing them? Cookie cutter education is crummy.

welcome ladywolf, i’m ninmas which stands for NINtendo MASter!

I’m home!!!!! A full week of school finals then summer vacation. I want to thank you all for a warm welcome. Hi ninmas, i’m the Guitar Hero master. Nah! i’m just kidding, but I am better at it than my dad.

Calvin is soooo right.

But if Calvin had more free time, what about Hobbes’ “me time”. Reading comics between naps takes a great deal of time.

Hey, im kinda new here so….uhh oh yeah. watsup ladywolf17 i hope i spelled your name right, im bad at remembering things…..

Hi phfear I’m just waiting for my dad to get home. He’s the one who got me on to this site. to answer the question by nur atiqah diyana I am a 17 year old finishing up my junior year at highschool.

Ahh, Calvin, it’s so nice to see someone with his priorities utterly in order.

@phfear, one way to get spelling of names right is to highlight them with the cursor clicked and copy/paste.

I just got back from swimming and i think that calvin will never grow up.

DO YOU REALIZE THAT CALVIN HAS BEEN 6 FOR LONGER THAN I HAVE BEEN ALIVE????????

fgdswimmer3 how was the water.
