Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 30, 1988
Transcript:
Mom: So there you are! Get out right now! Into the tub! Let's go!! Calvin: She'd have never found me if I hadn't sneezed. I'll give you a quarter to take my bath for me. Hobbes: Let's see the quarter first. Calvin: Here. Just splash around while I make it sound as if it's me in the tub. Hobbes: Ok, it's a deal. In fact, for another 25 cents, I'll take your Wednesday bath, too. Calvin: Wow! Really?? I could never take a bath again! Hobbes: La de da da dum dum. Calvin: I'm washing my arms now! Whoops! Dropped the soap! Now I'm washing my face! Ok, you can come out now. That's long enough. Hobbes: Boy, that was easy. A few weeks of this and I'll be rich! Calvin: Not so long with the dryer, Mom will get suspicious. Hobbes: I'm not all dry yet. Calvin: There! We made it! Now keep a straight face. Mom: Good night. Give me a kiss. Blechh! You're filthy! Calvin: Didn't you hear me take my bath?? See? My towel is wet! See? See? I want my quarter back. Hobbes: Forget it. It's as good as spent.
