Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 01, 2009

More like a long slow death

Killing is just the beginning, Calvin

Calvin, He said one to six hundred. May be you can get one for four dollars and thirty five cents.

Big trouble! easy!

I didn’t realize that tiger fur had a pocket to keep a change purse in. Or maybe Hobbes has a kangaroo somewhere in his ancestry.

HAPPY 142nd BIRTHDAY CANADA

Hobbes is taking it SO lightly. LOL

Way to give Calvin moral support Hobbes. He probably figures he will get Calvin’s comic books after the dad goes ballistic.

Oh, Canada! Happy Birthday!

At lease Calvin’s heart is in the right place.

Looks like u’re dead Calvin

That’s the problem, they never Just “kill you” and get it over with.

Perhaps, Calvin should look on eBay ??

Mine didn’t cost that much. But then again, mine were a cheap-o plastic gadget my parents got me to keep me quiet, not for actual use.

Calvin looks like he might die of a acute Heart attack!

I wonder if Calvin knows he had an older brother who broke the first pair of binoculars.

Not sure what the laws are like in Calvin’s state, but it’s probably against the law to kill small children for such a minor offense.

Didn’t know that Hobbes has a change pocket.

Do what any kid would do - put them back and then months later when dad finds it say “huh? What? I dunno”

Where is the nearest recruiting office

Yep, that’s the price for a “good” pair. Ask about a “bad” pair.

Yep Dad is gonna kill him dead by slow torture.

I love Calvin’s expression in the fourth panel. Classic.

calvin: time to find out how much you can get for your transmogrifier, i know you don’t want to sell it , but every penny helps

Calvin should just go ask his Mom why Dad was so interested in staring through his binoculars at the cute, blonde co-ed sunbathing next door. By the time the dust settles, Dad won’t be allowed to own binoculars anymore.

The bad news is, good binoculars cost more than that. The good news is, no Dad in his right mind would lend such optics to Calvin.

LOL - OUCH!

Just wondering… what’s the going rate for a good Tiger Fur Coat now adays?

smile

LOLs! At the last panel, I love the way Hobbes acts like that. Calvin, you gotta into a biggest trouble about breaking the binocular. Tsk!

By the way, Happy Birthday, Canada! What the size the birthday cake will be for whole provinces of Canada? I guess that biggest enough for the Canadians to eat the piece of the cakes! LOLs! Our country, US will be coming pretty soon. We will celebrate on July of 4th!

It’s too late to run away from home - your strip’s been cancelled for AEONS.

Nowadays he could get a national bailout for his blunder….and then file bankruptcy and go play and break something else.

Calvin, you had better make yourself small enough to fit into Hobbes’ change pocket!

You should check the 2nd hand stores before you go to a foreign country and expose Hobbes to unfriendly people

LOLS @ Hobbes in the last panel.

bald, another option with the transmogrifier–Calvin could put the broken binoculars in there and trasmogrify them to an unbroken set.

Love Hobbes calm pose …..”he’s dead now”….

After reading non sequitur, I hate to say get yourself a good lawyer. I’d rather say kill all the lawyers.

confession is good for your soul, just as long as you choose your words carefully Calvin.

Hobbes is a very well prepared tiger, so he of course has 35 cents to help buy the new binoculars… Too bad te price isn’t right!

Hay, unemandarine!

I bet these are plastic with plastic lenses. Very cheeeep!

Hobbes isn’t taking the situation lightly. He’s gone deep into philosophical mode, which means he considers the situation to be serious indeed.

Just to clarify, the strip was not cancelled. Philosopher Bill just decided that without sufficient artistic freedom, he would not produce it any more. There is a distinct difference ! And as for the life of this strip “Quaecumque Vera” shall endure.

I thought binoculars were like 50 dollars?
