Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 18, 2011

Yowzie!

That would be my reaction, too, Dad.

“On a completely unrelated topic, have you seen your car lately??”

Well, Dad, remember our car?

Do you love me??

I love you, but you’re gonna have to carry me to work piggyback until the repairs are done.

lol, why is his dad even surprised…

Cherish the moments he’s sitting on your lap dad. Turn around and they are gone.

Oh no…now what?

ihink I can see his tonsils.

Good morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠

“Well, you see, I got back at Moe at school in a really messy way, and now both Moe AND his Mom and Dad are at the front door…”

How can one not love that sweet little face in the third frame.

Ha Ha Great Dad …. Do You Love me ? … Hello Hobbes

@tegm He isn’t surprised, he’s more… Really mad.

Dad, what are your thoughts on bus transportation?

Nice tribute to Peanuts in panel 1 (Charlie Brown zigzag on the lamp)

nice reaction dad smooth smooth reaction

Your new avatar brings back fond memories.

Just fess up Calvin!

You’re a brave boy! ( I think)

LOL xxx

Reminds me of the April 13, ‘86 Sunday strip:“Hey Dad remember our car?”“Why sure. . . . Wait a minute. What do you mean ’Remember’?"“Hobbes I have a conjectural moral question. Maybe you can help.”“Sure.”“Suppose I did something bad. Should I tell Dad?”“How bad are we supposing?”“Well hypothetically lets say pretty bad. Like to his car hypothetically.”“How bad hypothetically to his car?”“Well let’s pretend it was real bad.”“Should we pretend it could be fixed?”“If we imagined he could find the car we could pretend it might be fixed.”“I see. . . . You can keep the book. Ill call the bus station.”“Que pasa senorita? I am el fugitivo!”

Relax, Dad. I didn’t do anything really, really bad. Can you raise my allowance?

It’s easy to love someone who always behaves well! But when someone has done something bad it’s really difficult!

Dad can not stand the way news is delivered from Calvin. Calvin needs a different way to open.

Speaking of the lamp, where’d it go??!!

Very nice way to slip the lyrics from Meatloaf’s “Paradise by the dashboard light” into the comments feed.

And then 4 yr old says,the bed is on fire!Tru story!!

Is it too early for the oh-so-mysterious “noodle incident” we’ve heard so much about and yet know absolutely nothing about???

One does not need to ask for whom the child tells, it tells for thee….

generally dad never takes this long to understand !!

I’d rather they just come out and say it!

Uh oh!

Uh-oh!

Here comes some more of that unconditional love Calvin’s dad is so famous for.

WHAT did you do THIS time, Calvin!?!

I think Calvin is a little bit prankish
