Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 10, 2009

LMAO!! That’s quite a come back!

Yep, I also like my handy cattle prod. My wife has her objections, but the prod makes life simpler, yes siree.

I’ll be the indian, shoot me shoot me! God I love this comic.

Calvin’s always prepared.

This reminds me of the Lone Ranger. God! I can’t believe that I still remember that show.

Sneaky Calvin! l♥ve them!!!

Modern technology William.

HeeHee:) I have to say, I wouldn’t have thought of that, Calvin!!!

and walked right into it, Hobbs.

He’s a Rhinestone Cowboy…….

Always prepared - Can yo imagine Calvin as a Boy Scout?

wolfbyte, i remember maturity being defined as ‘the ability to listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of The Lone Ranger’ but i’ve never quite managed to do that. Who was that masked man?

“I don’t know who that masked man was….but look!—he left this silver bullet.”

“Hi Ho Silver….awaaay!!!” (fade)

“Git ‘em up, Scout.” (fade)

& Jay Silverheels was a Canadian.

Any body ever hear the Stan Freeberg satire of the Lone Psychiatrist? Hilarious, as all of Freeberg’s stuff.

Calvin got Hobbes there! Quite a stun!

When I was a young lad, a favorite game around the corrals was to find someone bending over the loading chutes and acquaint them with the business end of a Hot Shot.

Check out today’s Spanish version.

hobbes go: punch

I am aghast !! Dont tell me you really mean this ! (rofl)

You’re right Alicia (speaking for myself, I would have said “my gun’s a Luger, it has eight shots, you wanna dare?”)

as always calvin is prepared for any thing.

on another note i have read of a possible lone ranger remake in the future

movie or television show?

Coffee-Turtle, finally caught up with you. Been meaning to tell you I love your avatar!!

I also love Calvins expression in the last panel!

stamped with the C

They look so cute in their cowboy hats.

It is the small mind that can only think of one way to skin (kill?) a cat. A+ for Calvin today.

Zap! Huh? That should be transmogrify to make Hobbes changing to something else. Maybe an Indian with a feather on back of head and arrow/bow.

Funny, Hobbes with that cowboy hat.

Please, can someone explain “cattle prod” ?? I’m living in a foreign country and I looked it up in a dictionary, but I didn’t find an explanation.

Yes, such a self-satisfied look knowing he got one over on Hobbes. I also love the drawing detail, with his hand going from a gun in the first panel to obviously holding a cylindrical object in the third panel. Kudos Bill Watterson.

ROFL To Leonardeuler: From Wikipedia: A cattle prod, also called a stock prod, is a handheld device commonly used to make cattle or other livestock move by striking or poking them, or in the case of a Hot-Shot-type prod, through a relatively high-voltage, low-current electric shock

Leonardeuler, a cattle-prod is an electrical device which gives a shock to a cow or bull to prod it to move.

Leonardeuler, a cattle prod or “hot Shot” is a battery operated shocking device used to move cattle along when they are in confined areas. They vary in shape and size, and deliver a non-lethal electrical charge when pressed against the animal. As a kid, we used to have great fun zapping one another with them.

Did anyone notice who has the “White” hat and who has the “Black” hat ???

PS: I don’t think Hobbes has finished the part of the Sagebrush Saga …

Oh I so love it!!!!! LMBO to funny. i would have never thought of that. Go Calvin love the look on Hobbes face the whole time.

movie version possibly win 2012 or 2013

Priceless. From out of nowhere, the cattle prod. Holster that.

Always count on Calvin to be resourceful…haha.

high-capaciaty magazine. i’ve still got 10 shots!

both look so cute in their hats!! zap him back hobbes!

“prod”? I was thinking Taser …. LOL!

Old west revolvers varied in capacity. There were the old single shot breach loaders. The five shot revolvers. The six shooters really made way for the side arms. I’m surprised Calvin didn’t raise his other arm and say he was using his other six shooter ….

Yes Wiseguy411–explained in second panel (where Calvin is the rustler and Hobbes the “good” cowboy).

Or (for Comic-Nut) he could easily have pulled out a boot-gun (wee single-shot pistol), but I guess he didn’t think it apt as those aren’t ABF cowboy boots (well, he could have imagined his shoes were cowboy boots, right?)

(I remember at a church I used to attend, the associate-pastor’s son almost always wore cowboy boots–and termed them “army boots”–to service)

Thank you guys for the explanations (that just shows how stupid I am). I can imagine a lot of “applications” with such a device.

This has to be a classic! I’ll be chuckling every time I think of it!

Or he could just use a revolver from many of the earlier Westerns. They seem to hold 20 or 30 shots at least–nobody ever seemed to need to reload!

These days a person would just carry a tazer!

Calvin: I know what you’re thinking. Did I fire 5 shots, or 6? In all the commotion, I lost track too. You’ve got to ask yourself. You feeling lucky, Punk? Well, are you?

Hobbes: NO! You’ve got a cattle prod. I’m not that lucky.

Once again Calvin used a prod-uct of his fertile imagination.

love hobbes in the cowboy hat.
