Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 25, 2017

Don’t expect your Mom to put those pics on the mantle.

First, Calvin was a victim of craziness. Now, Hobbes. Who’s next, Grandma?

Years since, I remember the time I cut some of my hair where it would be hard to miss and forgot about the photo deal coming up soon. Ironically, that spot on my head is now quite naturally deforested.

Years from now, she’ll still go into conniptions whenever she sees those pictures.

Hopefully, the school offers a “retake” day for those who were absent on picture day or who were not happy with their pictures and want to do them over. Although, you can be sure Calvin would do something else crazy to ruin the re-takes too.

Calvin you should worry about today when she sees these!!!

To the moon, Calvin.

It’s been 30 years since this strip first appeared and what fond memories indeed.

He’s right. lol

My mom (I miss her very much) used to tell me that she wished she had some pictures of me that were normal. I would reply that those expressions were normal. And no, my face didn’t get stuck that way probably because I had so many different looks.

I don’t remember the 70’s. That was my “Mary Jane” decade.

Mine was from the summer of ’69 to somewhere in the early 90s…

(I think)… ☺

Dammit, WE want to see the pictures!!

I wonder how much shampoo he needed to get the Crisco out? I once tried massaging coconut oil into my scalp and used about a 1/3 of a new bottle. But yes, I wanted to see the pictures then and now, too!

Parents don’t actually purchase the photos until AFTER they see them. They can choose to not purchase any this year.

Life is full of Memories, both Good and Bad.

Nowadays, Parents would be putting them on Facebook.

I so wish I could see those pictures.

For some reason, the word “conniptions” has always made me laugh out loud. Great strip today.
