    Calvin and I are on the same page about Saturdays. Break out the Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs and find a cartoon that features idiots, falling anvils and explosions...

    For whatever reason best known to itself, MFP is refusing to upload pictures. I'm not sure why. I will try again later. Meanwhile, here is a link to the GoComics where I get my daily C & H...

    Glad your diligence paid off. I don't know what I would do without my C&H fix! :D

    Definition of somnambulism

    1 : an abnormal condition of sleep in which motor acts (such as walking) are performed
    2 : actions characteristic of somnambulism

    That second definition clears it all up, doesn't it? Hehe

    I don't think Hobbes was asleep at all. I think he was playing possum to get Calvin into trouble. It worked too!! :D

    Agreed. After all, I don't think Calvin is tall enough to put the cans of tuna onto the countertop.

    Since Monday was a statutory holiday in Canada, I wasn't working so today is my Monday. I feel much like Calvin post-cerebellum fusion.

    Since I did most of the cooking back when my kids were around Calvin's age, I'm a bit too familiar with this kind of comment...

    I'm with Hobbes on this one. I don't understand how being irresponsible... or at least blaming others... is more fun...

    I got a kitten for my son for his birthday and she is a tail chaser. It's hilarious to watch!!

    It's especially fun when they catch the tail and don't know what to do with it.

    Make Dad Great Again? Before anyone loses their minds, I'm a Canadian so US politics aren't interesting to me.

    I know adults who couldn't spell magnanimous let alone use it appropriately in context...

    This one is strangely apropos. I was thinking today of how time seems to be speeding up...

    Hopefully, seeing two strips today resolved your distress, @livenfree45?

    This is where I differ from Calvin the most... I don't watch TV and I haven't done so for more than a decade.

    Building models requires time, patience and dexterity... What could possibly go wrong?

    I like that Hobbes reads the directions while Calvin just wades in... That being said, it's hard to imagine Calvin actually had the foresight to put down newspaper!

    My son does modelling, including Warhammer 40K models... and painting eyebrows on figures that small isn't that difficult, according to him.
