Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 11, 2012

Calvin, always looking for new buttons to push.

He’s a scientist – prone to experimentation.

‘Disfunctional’ is a word I would really try to avoid around a stressed out mom.

try instigator next time

“Dysfunctional’ is perfect.

You and Mom can find lots words that will get you this kind of reaction .

Wish I thought of that one when I was younger.

Say that again Calvin, and you might not be functional.

So dysfunctional functions :)

Calvins list of words must be very long at all!

When I was a teenager it was “Oh Mom, don’t be so provincial!” whenever you wanted to do something daring (like when my sister wanted to wear hot pants). Didn’t work for us, either.

In my house, you wanted to avoid pushing those buttons otherwise you’d be dealing with dad who had quite the functional hand.

He’s lucky he’s able to sit upright after testing for a reaction. My little fanny would’ve been pretty sore after pushing their buttons too many times.

My little brother used to watch looney tunes all the time. One night at bedtime he told our mom “You’re despicable!”

Oooooooh… You really push it, Calvin.

The little aeroplane is cute in the last panel.

9/11 today, people. RIP to those who died and tried to save victims in these terrible attacks.

Try ‘disrupter’..

Calvin, funambulism expert.

Mom in this strip started out with the best intentions. Look at the first panel again. She’s wearing angel wings!

…And he still went to bed any way. Lol

and red butt to back it up

Words that’ll get a reaction, and’ll warm the behind..

Keep going Calvin, maybe someday you’ll work your way up to:Antidisestablishmentaranism (sp?)(Which several years ago was removed from the dictionaries for lack of usage)

Must have a lot of lines!Also, RIP to the people who lost their lives 11 years ago. You’ll never be forgotten.

In honor of all the brave men, women and children we so sadly lost 11 years ago today . . .

shygirl27,Did your brother ‘duck’ after he said “desthpicable”? Did your mother think he was ‘Daffy’?

It may be the expression as much as the word.

That’s why Calvin is Spiff the Spaceman – he’s always pushing the envelope…

Calvin needs Benadryl.

Are Mom’s hands doing the talking or is she the clapper!!! 9/11 Always Remember. Osama is no longer dysfunctional. Yaaaa

SNERK!

Ahh, Calvin. You little devil, you.

i am not going to bed sensei
