Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 29, 2020

Looks like the duplicates had a plan that was better than Calvin’s.

What were 6 year old boys couple days ago will now freeze to death as worms.

fare ye well, duplicates

Finally, this arc’s Endgame

Where’s Calvin going to find worms in the middle of winter?

Is this a sign that everything that happened was real? Or has Calvin been saving these worms for half a year?

Dad would welcome the change of pace at dinner if you left them on his plate. Just say, character, Dad, character.

Calvin could always give them to Susie.

great story

Overreacting a bit, Mom?

The duplicates are better at trouble than the real Calvin.

Susie dodges a bullet, er, I mean worm.

Will Calvin be haunted by animated worms?

Worms with human intelligence being put in the ground to spawn with ordinary worms. In several generations, they may take over the Earth. New horror film: “Worms”.

I grew up in Oklahoma, and this reminds me of the time I found a snake in our front yard there. It was big enough that it wrapped itself around my arm about 3 times. I took it into the house and said: “Mom, look what I found!”

Bad idea! None of you would survive that one (including Calvin)!

Go fish.

Perfect ending for this arc! ☺

Just like worms to come up with revolting ideas! :D

Notice Mom doesn’t question how he managed to find any earthworms—in the middle of winter…

Awww – I was hoping he’d take them to show and tell with Mrs. Wormwood.

Now, there’s an interesting touch. Mostly, Calvin’s world seems imaginary. If Mom had walked in, there wouldn’t be a half-dozen Calvins.

Yet the imaginary Calvins “transmogrified” into worms — and Mom could see the worms. The worms that supposedly were Calvin. Odd to think about.

So long and see you guys next time it rains…

surprised the “really” wasn’t in italics

Reminds me of a fraternity prank. As a pledge, I got to help with the cleanup. Ah, the good old days.

In Alberta there was a garter snake hanging around the yard, somehow avoiding the cats. It got fairly used to me and would appear in some of the strangest places, such as sticking its head out of the space on the steering column where the gear shift was attached.

Then, when visiting a museum, while resting on a bench next to the snake exhibit (all familiar looking garter snakes) a staff member came around to clean the terrarium. She was having trouble with the snakes, so I offered to hold some so she could work. I had at least one up my sleeve and one inside my shirt. A lady came by and sat next to me and obviously did not know I was harbouring several slithery creatures. I and the staff member exchanged knowing looks, and the staff member gently informed the lady that the snake exhibit was open. Just as the woman got up to leave, a snake stuck its head out of my sleeve, hurrying the process of her leaving by quite a bit.

I feel bad for worms.

New B- Horror movie: “Attack of the Calvin Worms”

And thus Calvin wins Worm War I.

And they went on to live happily ever after!

Well, there ya go… Calvin existed during the Diet of Worms.

More like transwormified them, oh my god, I hate making bad jokes, but I like to have a good sense of humor!
