Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 17, 2010

Poor Susie, again.

Oh no! I hope Miss Wormwood doesn’t read it.

You will learn sooner or later, Suzie!

GM, Marg.

Is there a ‘fronter’ bench to the front bench ??

Apparently, Susie isn’t used to getting into trouble like this.

If she stays friends with Calvin, that will change.

Poor Susie, damned if she does, and damned if she doesnt’…..

Oh, poor Susie!

It’s Calvin’s day today… haha… she is turning red…

for a six-year old, Calvin is not a bad writer…

Poor Susie, she just doesn’t have the luck today.

Yup, Calv’s humming: “If you knew Susie like I know Susie, oh what a?”

they are getting in love..

Susie, Susie, Susie will you ever learn to behave in class?

Poor Suzie. Calvin, you are a bad influence.

Honestly, most teachers have a pretty good idea who the real culprit is and what’s going on.

Yeah, Calvin would always be one of the usual suspects!

This is cruel…

You go Calvin, maybe next time she will be more helpful…..LOL

The second foul is the one the ref sees and hands out the penalty for.

And again I say without apology: those of you who think Calvin deserves the least help from Suzie or anybody else at this point are out of your minds.

Not, of course, that Suzie is any better off fighting fire with fire. Those who live by the dirty little passed note, die by the dirty little passed note! :)

C&H is the only one of my comics I can see tonight. Is anyone else having this problem?

Quit flirting calvin

*Yukoner *- yeah I’m having the same problem too. Except it’s morning for me! :)

At least Calvin’s insults rhymed.

Well, it’s 5 AM EST and C&H are the only one of 4 comics updated…what’s up with that anyway?

It’s a revolt for the cancellation of Annie. I only have two that are updated.

Calvin and Suzie should just admit their undying love for one and other!! They are so going to get hitched when they grow up!!! :-)

I myself are seeing strips from yesterday (5/16/10). Is it that, a revolt fo the cancellation of Annie? If that’s the case, I’m in!!

Good morning , Marg! Good morning Fran and Kizzzy!

I wonder what it would be like if they grew up and got married

Good morning to all! At this pont it’s not a question of “if” but “when” they get married, isn’t it? It’s so obvious they are in love. All Calvin’s gotta do is the Tom Sawyer thing and take the punishment for her. By the way “Eep!”? That’sa great reaction!

HUGH There are 4 comics today? Which? I searched for this one.

Is there a cold front in Hades today? Not one poster has taken Calvin’s side. Even I cannot defend him.

What gives with all the missing comics this morning? Is it indeed a protest?

ps - that is one large cat lewreader! he likes his lasagna

Waterloo is coming for Calvin. Every puppy has its day.

I only found two comics, gonna start looking else where.

Edit- found several of our favs updated else where.

\\//_

Whoever updates the comics on this site must have fallen asleep reading the debate on “The Duplex”

Went to emails, opened my daily gocomics newsletter, see this is the only one. Figure, well that could be a glitch, go online, NOPE no Glitch! What’s up with this?

BTW, I forget how this plays out, but right now, I would say Calvin is a dead man walking!

the nice thing is that they WILL get married someday and make each other miserable for the rest of their lives! poor Hobbes will be their marriage counselor!

im feeling so bad for susie…

is this the only comic that made it onto the website this morning?

Oh, Susie is left-handed?

Poor, poor Susie, it must be awful, to be in same class as Calvin!

No doubt when Susie gets sent to the principal she will just have to mention Calvins name and all will become clear…

Calvin is bound to get into much-much deeper trouble, but he is accustomed to that and it does not worry him so much. At least he has some fun with Susie.

About Susie… Well, it is experience. It is quite useful to get into trouble now and then. Builds character, says Calvins dad. ;)

I don’t know which company owns/distributes which comics, but I’m seeing trouble on other sites also. Yesterday, the Washington Post comics page hadn’t updated some strips for Sunday, and today some haven’t been updated for Monday either. Not to mention a real crisis: Dear Abby hasn’t been updated for today! So there’s a glitch out there somewhere.

Hello, Mike Firesmith and Loki.

Lose the vinegar, Susie. Start serving honey and by recess you will have Calvin so confused he won’t know how to react … and You are the one with the completed project :) Bug - Off, Calvin!

It’s all over the place (lack of updates). All the news seems to be updating, but the comics and games aren’t. Miami Herald, USA Today, Washington Post, LA Times – all of their comics and games are either from yesterday or Saturday. I know a majority of this content is sourced from uclick.com – I wonder if that’s where the problem is.

Susie’s getting what she deserves for her self-righteous attitude.

Just kidding. But it is funny to see her squirm in a situation to which is so unaccustomed. And as the truth comes out, it will only reveal Calvin’s unpreparedness.

Susie, that kind of note could get Homeland Security swooping down on the school, at very least you’ll be suspended for 10 days for terroristic writtings. Good thing you didn’t shake your finger at him!

goody to shoes getting in trouble,calvin should be on cloud nine right now,just a matter of time for the tide to change.

Susie is left-handed!

I just checked Comics.com and Daily Ink and they both had all their strips visible.

i miss hobbes. I MISS HOBBES!!!!

YAY LEFTIES!

Yes but comics.com is for lack of a better description, breaking up, some of the strips are fuzzy, out of alignment, etc. You can’t really read some of them.

Here’s a quote for ya :)

“your only validation is in living your own life”

FAIR WARNING- finding where this is quoted from will expose you to profanity… don’t look if you’d rather not see it. I only quote it because it sums up my take on the whole thing quite nicely :) which is to say, sometimes “living your own life” and being your own person (something I value quite highly) means a trip (or ten) to the principals office, and every kid should make the journey at least once… If you follow every rule, you’ll never lead anything, not even yourself ;)

It’s not just bad luck Susie got caught. As mentioned in the previous incident, Calvin was aware that the teacher was not looking when he did his talking. Susie needs to learn to be smarter about when she misbehaves! Calvin could teach her a few things…

Delayed delivery. I see all of mine.

Susie, show Mrs. Wormwood Calvin’s note, then you will both have to stay after school and enjoy each other.

I missed the early morning whine here at the very old strip dept.

Hey, we are all dating ourselves. Kids today do not pass notes. They are all texting.

“Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:21 So… “Wake Up, Little Susie!”

Susie’s face is as red as a beet! She might have to acknowledge defeat. What if she grovels at Wormwood’s feet, She will at least get off the hot seat.

Hey Mrs Wormwood what the h–l the matter with you. You must of had some skills to get that cushy job.

usually it’s susie who gets the upper hand over calvin (re: snowballs and water balloons) so this bit of turnabout is nifty, while it lasts…

Susie, Susie, Susie….

Don’t you know that revenge is a dish better served cold?

Suzie shouldn’t have responded. That’s what Calvin wants. He must be chortling. My guess is that his delight will be short-lived. Surely, Miss Wormwood will discover his note to Suzie.

Best not cite Lennon unless you also cite Marx, Tigger: “You can learn a lot from Lydia.”

Time for Suzie to call Guido the Killer Pimp….

Susie just keeps asking for it, lol.

It’s funny that people fail to see that it’s SUSIE finally getting “My Name Is Earl” ’d with the Karma. Her being Earl.

This is Calvin’s long overdue revenge, and he’s enjoying every second of it.

Saw that coming a mile away…

Ah, in the days before texting…

Hmmm…kids still pass notes don’tchaknow!?!

i bet you not miss hobbes. i bet you mr. hobbes.

Miss Wormwood is the real culprit here! She should be at least sufficiently familiar with her students to know who to blame in a situation like this – Calvin of course!!

Tho I have to admit it is kinda fun to watch Susie get her knickers in a twist over such a sweet poem from our boy Calvin.

And Ratlum – “cushy job” I think not – especially dealing with Calvin. I think Miss W is just too old for it.

Wake up, little Susie! Wake up, little Susie! We’ve got to go home!

What’re we gonna tell your momma, What’re we gonna tell your pop, What’re we gonna tell the kids when they go OOO LA LA

This has to be a dream. Miss Wormwood could not be so blind.

The site WAS very slow today, and I read comics on 4 sites, so I went on to WaPo and did not get back here until after lunch- now it is sunset and I’ll be retiring soon. I just go with the flow ;-)

Calvin’s a bad influence on you.

Well Susie, we’ll see what tomorrow brings. Goodnight all.

Hobbes needs to save the day!
