Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 21, 2018

In Australia Hobbes can be a Tasmanian Tiger.

When I was Calvin’s age, I was a terrible speller too. But I at least would’ve grabbed a book or something to use as a guide to spelling a word like Australia.

“You didn’t even let her in?” What does that mean, mom? Haven’t you heard a word Calvin has been saying?

“Don’t answer the door.” BB King.

Heck, I live in Australia and have trouble spelling it at times. In my defense, I’ve only been here 9 years come March ;)

Mom in the last panel must be the worst Bill Watterson drawing ever. I get it that she’s upset, but still…

Quick Mum, here’s your chance!

So Calvin was the one who came up with the “Mail Yourself in a Box Challenge”!

Iwouldcharge more money for this job!!!!

Not enough postage, Calvin.

Calvin, in Australia there’d be a lot more things trying to kill you than just your babysitter.

Asking Calvin not to be silly is like asking Charlie Brown not to be wishy washy.

C’mon Mom, what did you expect? You’ve known Calvin for six years and nine months!

Enemy at the gates!!!!!!!

Doubt even UPS would handle this one

I don’t see any air holes. And have you seen how the USPS handles packages. You better wrap yourself in LOTS of bubble wrap, or you will get there one huge bruise!

Misspelling the destination would undoubtedly lead to them being shipped somewhere quite different than their intended destination…

Isn’t it spelled “Austria?”Fun factoid: “Austria” is an Anglicization of Osterreich, meaning “eastern kingdom.” Australia comes from Latin “australis,” meaning “southern.”

♫"Haul away your rolling king, heave away, haul away

Haul away, you’ll hear me sing, we’re bound for South Australia"♫

I’m pretty sure Rosalyn will pay the postage.

Calvin, tell your mom to seal the box first. Not only is it raining outside, but Rosalyn would see you.

That’s right, Calvin. Make Rosalyn angry.

Sooo, is this the start of the Calvin and Roslyn saga?
