Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 08, 2011

Will it work?

LOL! This is one of my favorite daily C+H strips.

Together with Hobbes, you are always the “Greatest”!!

We had a librarian who looked like her!

And the trench coat is suddenly opened to reveal….?

“Vampire Sorority Babes”. Actually not that outrageous a title these days. Who could have foreseen the popularity of vampires back then? (I can’t see it now).

GOOD IDEAS AND GOOD THINGS MY C&H I LOVE YOU BOTH REALLY….. SO MAKE ME HAPPY EVERY TIME GREAT SMILE ….?

I don’t think she’s buying it.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠!

@thebird55,Did you go south for the winter? I haven’t seen you here for several months!

…nice bun, babe, er, I mean lady! Shall we ‘trip the light fantastic’ (on the sidewalks of New York) after you get off work?BTW, Hobbes needs to “Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile”. That sober face won’t get it done.

1) At six, how does he know what a ‘babe’ is. 2) His mom left him alone long enough to make it downtown? 3) Two is correct, Calvin. One for you and one for me. I wanna see the babes.

When I remember the junk they showed us at the 50 cent matinee.

LOL, Hobbes, I love your subject headings!

Charlie Chaplin was a genius. Have you read his atuobiography? He came from a poverty-stricken background. His mother used to sew shirts to keep Charlie and his brother fed.

The voice is coming from his bum. Dead giveaway. (Although the stuffed tiger is a good clue, too.)

AccuWeather article this AM – Tropical Storm Calvin forms in the Eastern Pacific. We always knew he was a force of nature…

This is so cute!!!! Vampire sorority babes!!!!!

She would have to have an imagination like Calvin’s. I don’t think she has it in her!

G’Morning, Grog, Marg & Mike!

My comment has been deleted by GoComics, apparently because one of the links that I provided went to a film clip on YouTube that had been put there by a commercial entity. Anyway, for all who like the way that Bill Watterson combines humor with underlying serious themes in Calvin and Hobbes, I was recommending watching any of Charlie Chaplin’s greatest films: The Kid (1921), The Gold Rush (1925), City Lights (1931), Modern Times (1936), and The Great Dictator (1940). Chaplin was a true genius who raised comedy to a whole new level by intertwining humor with serious themes. Bill Watterson is also a true genius, and the underlying serious themes in his comic strip are a big reason that both Chaplin’s films and Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes have stood the test of time.

Vampire Sorority Babes will have to go onto my Netflix queue.

Hi, JoanHelen. Hope you are having a good winter at the southern tip of Africa. Yes, I’ve read Chaplin’s autobiography, and one wonders how such a amazing mind for humor could come out of such circumstances. But comedy and tragedy are often closely linked. Some consider “The Kid” to be Chaplin’s greatest masterpiece, and it’s about a child living in poverty, inspired by his own childhood. Speaking of comedy and tragedy being closely linked, many people on this site consider it a real tragedy that Bill Watterson no longer writes comedy. :>)

great line

Bill Watterson’s birthday is July 5th, 1958.The Reality Check author has been a Calvin & Hobbes tribute week.

Now, this comic is sick — but I included it for completeness.

I love today’ Reality Check. I always suspected Hobbes was real and Calvin was something out of his imagination.

I think the VAMP would make a run for it.

Here’s a larger version of the Reality Check comic:

A six year old with adolescent tastes in film – hmmmm….

And the stuffed Tiger can read too. That’s what comics are about.

That sounds a lot like True Blood.

I so wish Calvin Hobbes would start up again . What a great comic it is!

vampire sorority babes — “Cute” choice Calvin :)
