Calvin and Hobbes Dog Poop - by Bill Watterson for July 24, 2013

Not too hasty, Mom!

SNERK!!

It’s going to be one of those days!

Her mistake. Lol

Now where did I . . . oh yes, I remember now.

The little guy does what hes told to do sometimes.

dun yelling Calvin.. hahahha

Besides, she yelled across the house, too.

Pooper-scooper laws really make this a joke for us (slightly) older folks…

Oh, they probably have the laws, it’s just very hard to get the dogs to abide by the law and scoop the poop. ;)

Knowing Calvin, he did it intentionally.

LOL!

Oh, I’m sure they do, but just ignored as they are most everywhere, including my apartment complex which has many dogs. We even have a scooper and plastic bags available, but still some people don’t follow the rules, sad to say.

Laws don’t actually dictate the behavior of people. If they did, nobody would get ticketed or sent to jail or prison.

You gotta do what Mom said. When she says it the first time. No questions – no back-talk. Ha!

This was good when it was last published, about three years ago—-or more.

Oh, my. Yew!

Knowing Calvin, Mom should have responded by going to the door, and then she could reprimand Calvin if he should have gone to her where she was.

Is Mom mad at herself or Calvin …or both?

That’ll teach her.

She asked for that.

The (Jack)Butler did it …based on his comment yesterday. :o)

@JackButler,Your comment yesterday was ingenious and ingenuous …I think!

In Japan, this wouldn’t be an issue. Shoes ALWAYS come off before entering the house proper.

I’ve been reading some C&H stips lately. I’ve been realizing— Calvin gets NAKED (or some say nude) a LOT..! The little nudist.

@Calvin’s_Mom

*Point and Laugh!!!

Remember mom, you have only yourself to blame here…

Just when you don’t want him to, Calvin behaves like a normal six year old. Does he have the maturity to shout back to his mom the reason why he is not coming in? Does he have the sense to take off his shoes before walking into the house? Of course not.

Might be cat scat rather than dog poo…

One of my faves.

You really stepped in it this time, Mom.

Ughhhh! Awwww, Poor Mum! At her wits end.

xxx

This kid just cracks me up uncontrollably at times.

i saw this comic when Calvin said the REAL word…SH@#

He should have projected his voice in a less annoying way in the first place.

She had that one coming.

I had a new son when this strip was first published, and it’s always been my favorite C&H strip of all time! How often did our moms tell us not to yell in the house, and or not to yell questions at them. And here it is, perfectly laid out! FANTASTIC!!! I sure miss new C&H strips. Too bad it only ran for 10 years, ALMOST 30 YEARS AGO!!!

That was funny as DOO (s$&t). Maybe Calvin will have some good luck now.

Right lesson, wrong time.

He had a reason for hollering across the house. He is only a kid with no common sense. But hey many stupid adults I have worked with as well.

That’s almost justice.

She asked for it,should have asked what he wanted first.

Love Mom’s pose/expression!

how ironic of a situation. lol

loved it

Ewww, that’s why he doesn’t walk across the room!

The first time I saw this particular strip, it was when my dad had just purchased the book homicidal psycho jungle cat. We were in a house at Topsail Island beach in North Carolina with a whole bunch of family members. I was by myself, being about 8 years old or so at the time, reading the book, and I came across this one. I laughed so hard in my dad had to come check on me. He laughed so hard when he saw it that the rest of the family had to come see what it was and soon we were all laughing. Literally, all anyone had to say all week was “dog doo” to get everybody giggling, after that. It’s still one of my favorite strips. Though my all-time favorite one is the more poignant one with the dead bird.
