Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 09, 2016

It is deep because he is short

Just hold his head under for a few minutes. There isn’t a jury that would convict you.

Now it’s too wet.

Calvin, maybe you should start taking showers.

Count your blessings, Calvin. I wish I had the spare time to take long, relaxing baths rather than quick showers.

I’d say it’s just deep enough.

The more you whine, the longer it"s going to take.

Calvin’s mom is brave. I never filled up the tub any deeper than the amount of water I was willing to mop up off the floor. The Golden enjoyed ‘bathing’ with my sons.

Calvin’s bath is so deep, he puts in rubber duckies to test for sharks, according to one strip.

I think the “deep” referred to the existential quandary in which he now finds himself.

Now it-o-o-os to-o-o-o dee-o-o-o-o-o-p!

7.8/10-Too much water.

Why not hold your little brat underneath the water, let him drown and be done with it??!!

It’s for becoming a little bit crazy!!

I bet she is costing out a lawyer in her mind in the last frame

If it was my Mom, the fifth panel would be me held over the edge of the tub with my hind end getting paddled…

Calvin, you’re not stalling time are you?

I wonder what kind of fool would take a hot bath/shower in the summer?

Go ahead, Mom. Drown the little sucker!

According to Calvin Rules, Calvin always wins!

I think those are just excuses to skip the bath.
