Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 29, 2014

The burglars didn’t take away your priorities.

The thieves may have taken some of your things, but they can’t take the love that you have for each other…and Calvin… ;)

I don’t think that they would want Calvin for long. It would be about like “The Ransom of Red Chief”.

Do they worry alternately? BTW they have switched sides again.

@dukedoug: Yes, they switch sides depending on who is talking, but only if Bill Watterson wants to show them looking directly at each other. Yesterday, Dad looked directly at Mom a couple of times when he was talking, so he had to be drawn on the other side of the bed. Otherwise, his back would have been toward us when he was talking. It’s the same reason that Calvin’s watch switched wrists in another strip, when he was talking to Hobbes. Yesterday, Bill didn’t want to show Dad staring off into space for four panels in a row, since he was talking in all four panels.Or maybe it’s just been a restless night for Mom and Dad……Or, perhaps yesterday we were looking at Mom and Dad in the bedroom mirror……….

well said, Calvin’s mom

so sweet dream..

Probably would not have broken in unless they knew they were going to be gone. The clue was probably the wedding announcement (engagement) in the newspaper?Some thieves scan obits to know when certain people won ’t be home.

Awww, they’re together again. How touching.I assume Calvin is hugging Hobbes as well.

hard to replace people

Awwww.

OK. we are convinced. Now cut the moralizing, and get on with the show.

Is that like the word guru – actually 2 words: gu: to lead and ru: from the darkness.

Is it my imagination or are the comments becoming more civilized?If it hits like a mule, or stings like a bee, it builds character.
