35: "Our Fortress" Dec 22, 1985 (w/ Alice Lauren) Aug 06, 2020

Show notes

Some people say "keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer," others say: "Hey, I'm gonna keep my friends close but NOT my enemies because I don't like them." Well sometimes your friend turns out to be your enemy! That's what Alice Lauren and I learned during this very special 5 year anniversary Sunday strip of Calvin and Hobbescast.

34: "Lost" Dec 21, 1985 (Nathan for you, again) Aug 01, 2020

Show notes

When you're out exploring, you want to make sure you don't want to run out of food, water, or vocabulary words. If you've forgotten "lost," "mommy" may do in a pinch. Survival skills! Calvin and Hobbes have them. Do you?

33: "Pittsburgh" Dec 20, 1985 (Nathan hosts) Jul 01, 2020

Show notes

Calvin and Hobbes are at it again! If by "it," you mean laying down on the grass and laying some big philosophical questions on each other. Plus, Pittsburgh, PA! Is it good or is it bad? Do you know? Because I don't know.

32: "Making speed bumps" Dec 19, 1985 (Guest host SEAN) May 06, 2020

Show notes

You ever pass some road construction workers and they're not even working? They're just holding a sign and waving at you, occasionally talking to their friends on their walkie talkies. Meanwhile Calvin is out there every day making speed bumps for free, in his family's yard. Work ethic, child labor, property destruction, it's all covered here in this Calvin and Hobbes strip.

31: "Inflammable chemical truck" Dec 18, 1985 (Sean solo) Apr 28, 2020

Show notes

In this strip, the child's miniature vehicular play turns to violence in the imagination. Are the pleasures of childhood not enough to shackle these flights of fantasy in the world of benign bliss? Why does the absurd inevitability of death draw the young mind like a rare earth magnet? Find the difference between flammable/inflammable and more with guest host Sean of Five Minutes of Mime podcast!

30: "Baseball bat" Dec 17, 1985 May 28, 2019

Show notes

If you've even had the experience of conquering all your enemies, but then finding out that you hurt your best friend in the process, I think this strip will really speak to you. Even if it doesn't, I'll speak to you. That's how podcasts work!

29: "Tommy Chestnut" Dec 16, 1985 Jan 15, 2019

Show notes

What would you do if you had a close friend, and then you found out he'd killed and eaten a kid. This is how the guy that wrote My Friend Dahmer might have felt...just like Calvin! Happy 2019 from Calvin and Hobbescast!

28: "I kiss the sweet ground" (w/ Sean German) Dec 15, 1985 Aug 06, 2018

Show notes

Spaceman Spiff is at it again! Space Battles! Ray blasts! Planets! Zounds! Returning guest Sean German (5 Minutes of Mime, Groundhog Day Minute, Spinal Tap Minute) joins Nathan to talk about the best comic strip to come out on Dec 15th, 1985. That's right - it's Calvin and Hobbes.
