I love how the last time you paid homage (in your own sweet, twisted way) to Calvin and Hobbes, I was deeply disturbed. This time, it’s nothing but funny. Kinda brilliant.
Now, the question is, is Hobbes using the generic “you” (as in, “that’s how one masturbates”) or the specific “you” (as in, “that’s how Calvin masturbates”)?
Why yes, I am an enormous word nerd, why do you ask?
I wouldn’t take this one down. On the other hand, I sure hope the SF strips are heading for a deconstruction or aversion of the “all single women over a certain age are pathetic, frigid, man-hating crazy cat lady losers”. Because yeah, it’s a tired old stupid lie, no matter how many insecure guys who just got dumped use it to soothe their fractured egos.
Sounds like Charlene is a woman over a certain age who just loves her many many cats. Am I right? Is this thing on? Make sure to tip your waitresses and try the veal!
This is why, between the ages of 12 and 14, Toy Story HAUNTED me. I would look into the silently reproachful eyes of my battle-damage posable T-Rex action figure after fitfully playing with myself, and weep tears of shame.
It didn’t help that the only poster of human beings in my room featured John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Staring straight at me. I felt pretty gay.
Years later, I felt a different, yet equal, disturbance when my first girlfriend had a Salvador Dali poster right over her headboard. I still have wet dreams about elephants with really long legs.

When you get the inevitable complaints from the frigid, please don’t take this one down.

Loving it.
NOT loving how you managed to skip Tuesday, but you made up for it today. Classic, and I love how Calvin has the attempted chin-growth thing going on.
And this is the first time Hobbes has witnessed it? I’m not buying it.
Ooohh, someone’s going to get a nasty letter from an attorney…
Don’t be TOO cool with it Hobbes. You’re next, pal.
OMG! Haven’t had my childhood ruined this bad since The Phantom Menace!
Well, not really. This is hilarious!
What I really find funny, given the subject matter, is that Calvin still has to say ‘freakin’’.

The same thing crossed my mind Zaq.
–I loved this strip!
And will Hobbes be witness when Calvin has his first… intimate time with Suzie? Cause you know that sooner or later, it’s gonna happen.

*pssst*
That’s the funniest ML (and there’ve been a number of funny ones) in I don’t know how long. And this time it didn’t involve Hobbes getting violated.
