Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 22, 2018

Damn proud of you, boy.

“THEM! THEEEEEM!”

Wow, Calvin spared them. Such a caring kid.

Calvin is NOT the ant bully!

Wise move kid; they might be fire ants which would crawl up your pants and annoy the hell out of you.

Damn decent of you old chap, (OK I know it was a cockroach, but what the heck)

Anyway ants are real killers. Gicantic ants wouldn’t hesitate a minute to destroy us.

Deep down, Calvin really a decent kid with a good heart.

Here comes Ant Man and I don’t mean Hank Pimm.

Petey Fisk (Greater Tuna Humane Society): Nature won’t try to kill you if you just leave it alone. (Wise decision, Calvin – they’re probably fire ants…)

It’s a little unnerving to find an ant nest in your house. get out the Raid and watch them all put on teeny tiny gas masks.

Has anyone else read and enjoyed Clifford Simak’s novel City? A mutant called Joe invents a way for ants to stay active year round in Wisconsin, so that they need not start over every spring. Eventually, the ants form an industrial society in their hill. The amoral Joe, tiring of the game, kicks over the anthill. The ants ignore this setback and build bigger and more industrialized colonies.

It would be poetic justice if he fell into the nest.

Calvin should be satisfied with destroying Chagrin Falls, Ohio as a giant T-Rex.

Go for it Calvin they started it! Be the tyrant within you. Evil smile

An unstoppable wave of fire ants.

Oh, come on; who hasn’t kicked one of those devil hills to oblivion just to watch them scatter?
