Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 11, 2009

This is where you earn the big bucks.

Oh Roslyn, if only you didn’t need the money.

Demand combat pay next time.

Get used Roslyn. You are sure to have someone like Calvin for your kid.

if you haven’t learned it by now you might just as well postpone every date when Calvin is your client.

Calvin’s having called Roslyn a “nasty ol’ barracuda” isn’t helping his chances of surviving this night.

Love the way she blows his hair back in panel 3.

Within a few minutes Rosalyn is going to get a nervous breakdown …..or even a heart attack.

maye someday rosalyn will marry and have a litle Calvin of her own.

She should simply tell him to eat it or go hungry. His choice.

And if mom gets on his nerves, she can be made into an iguana.

Why don’t he just transmorgify (?) her into a wee bathtub barracuda?

Yukoner: I second that!

this will hopefully prepare rosalyn for being a parent or make her decide to never have any kids

She should start charging Lawyers’ rates for ‘billable hours”…that’ll give Calvin’s dad pause…

Mum is best!

Yukoner: me three, and Calvin’s face in the second panel is so expresive, I can smell the sewer soup she is making him eat. LOL

Rosalyn has her hands full with Calvin but she can handle him. Met your match, Calvin.

So, what’s for dessert?

No, no!! Do not ever leave Calvin alone unless it’s in a locked room!!

How does Roslyn get dates?

Calvin’s the reason they passed a 3-day waiting period on gun purchases.

No such law for buying a roll of duct tape, Rosalyn.

Mmmmmmm, castor oil soup! Carmy castor oil sundaes for dessert!

JFri, Please, I’m gagging already here!

cute poor Roslyn. i feel for her. i have a few kids i watch like this.

ps. i am back my computer lives. thank God.

But when Calvin’s mom does things for him… he still doesn’t appreciate it. …hmmm…

I have a feeling the smug look on Calvin’s face in panel four will be wiped off before the night is over, goodie goodie!!!

Calvin, tell your mom you appreciate her food and her unconditional love. I used to think they were wimpy, but now I think they may be wise in not reacting too strongly to Calvin’s imagination and mischieviousness.

I love how calm Calvin’s face is in the third panel, even though Roslyn is yelling in his face and making his hair fly backwards. 8P

Yes, welcome back tabbylynn.

He reminds me of Red Skelton’s “The Mean Widdle Kid”

@tabbylynn, don’t just feel too sorry for Roslyn. She’s getting combat pay with overtime. Good to have you back!

thanks for the warm welcome back. ive been going crazy lately. ive missed this.

Frame 3- Roslyn’s charm and easy way come through - she is screaming so loud that poor Calvins hair is blown back. I wonder who the lucky guy is that did not get stuck with her tonight?

jaja hasta el cabello se le mueve por el grito

huh

alexhuama says: jaja hasta el cabello se le mueve por el grito

google translates this to: jaja hair until he was moved by the cry.

love his reply in the fourth panel

Barracuda . . . . from Nemo, perhaps?
