Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 09, 2009

Lol!

Watch out Hobbes.

Bet Hobbes suggestion puts a different complexion on things.

Noogies?

Any hit on Calvin is surely going to have overtones.

Calvin’s version of tag is way more fun than mine.

Just wait until Hobbes catches Calvin. I bet Calvin will get all that is coming to him. Hee Hee.

Eeenie, meenie, minie, mo, Catch a tiger by his toe, If he hollers, he is “it”…

No, that’s not the way it goes! ;)

Any game that isn’t played by Calvin’s rules is a sissy game.

What I don’t get is that Hobbes is the one to set the rules…and set them to his own advantage.

What are ‘noggies’ - missed out on them.

It’s like a Dutch rub.

using the fiirst knuckle of your middle finger you do a hard head rub while their in a headlock

Personally I’d just hit Calvin and say ‘Well it’s not such a sissy game now is it?’

i have calvin and hobbes tattooed on my arm

…WoW! A new C&H ..bet no one notices…

I like how these two work so hard to play a game.

Helen: The friction between the knuckle and the hair raises the scalp temperature to about the melting pkoint of glass!!!

werent all the calvin & hobbes the best strips ever

Don’t forget ‘Henry’ (No talking, ALL picture, a guys kind of comic strip!)

……okay, AND ‘Bloom County’!

In the last frame is Hobbes carrying something ?

For superfrog:

noog⋅ie  /Pronunciation [noog-ee] –noun Slang. a light blow or jab, usually to a person’s head, back, or upper arm and accompanied by a twisting motion, with the extended knuckle of the curled-up second or third finger: done as a gesture of affection or painfully as a prank.

No, that’s just a bush, although it is a very dark bush.

Ratlum,

No, there is a bush behind Hobbes though.

A BUSH? Does that make this a political cartoon?

a political cartoon, now that’s a good one steve.

it doesn’t look like a bush to me but then again it doesn’t look like anything i have ever saw.

Maybe Calvin should play with Moe.

hobbes really looks mad in this.

Steve, for encouraging this to become a political discussion you should be put in Cheneys attached to leg irons.

HEY CALVIN! We used to play it with BB guns! But then again that was back in the days of the lawn darts and other fun instruments of destruction. I’m soooo glad I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s…

lawn darts do you mean “jarts”?

That bush looks almost like Nasher from the Dennis the Menace strips lol, maybe it’s black ‘cause dad sprayed it with Weedol?

Thanks Bandz.

Suddenly it all makes sense.

rhutch436, I was introduced to dirt clod war in the late 50’s. Red clay hurts! Even worse when you get hit in the eye. Ah yes, those were the days.

My cat used to know what noogies were. We played a game called “noogies for kitties” in which I’d try to give him noogies, and he’d try to shred my arms. We both had lots of fun playing that. He used to come and rub his head against my hand when he wanted to play. I don’t think he had dain bramage.

My husband still loves to give “noogies” and “wet willies”! I finally got him a couple weeks ago with a “super wet willie” so he’s given up for awhile!

Heehee to all comments and especially the noogies, wet willies, and dutch brushes/rubs. I grew up in the 30s and 40s and we played all those games, pranks, and dangerous stuffs according to today’s standards and “most” of us grew into healthy and good adults with both eyes and ears and no serious damage.. And even into grandparents now like me.
