Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 31, 2020

From kidnapping to breaking and entering. The charges keep piling up.

That’s Hobbes’s home now.

where’d Calvin obtain the drill?

Calvin’s gonna wish he actually had $100.

Hobbes would never bite Susie .

Where Calvin got the drill in the first place is my question. I’m sure his parents would keep the power tools locked up.

Nice third panel!

Panel 3 shows him on the throes of a psychotic episode. Get the syringes ready!!

Tell him Susie!!!!

Smoochies for Hobbes…

Time lapse between panel 3 and 4…

See panel 3? When Calvin finally gets Hobbes back, I’m betting that the stories that Hobbes will tell Calvin (smoochies, doncha know…) will make #3 look like the calm before the storm. Get Hobbes thrown outta the club, too…

But Mom! It’s only a drill. Not like it’s a catapult or dynamite or anything. (Available at same comics resource depots where you get anything you want.)

I’m loving this arc & looking forward to the resolution.

Dad has to hide his tools a lot better!

Next panel… Hobbes is smothered in smooches.

Calvin, you know the drill…get down on your knees and beg for mercy! :D

If Calvin were the stable genius he thinks he is, he should be arranging an exchange of prisoners.

Who would have thought that Susie could run that fast (especially carrying a stuffed tiger with her)!

Acme hardware where Wile Coyote shops.

Time for a prisoner exchange.

A drill? Where’s Calvin’s imagination?!? How would Spaceman Spiff handle this?

I hope we all get invited to their wedding.

Now, it is the lady AND the tiger.

Calvin, please tell me you have a plan B…

Good I Like It

Love his face in the third panel

Hobbes bite her? Love it!

Hey, it’s an emergency. A drill is a perfectly legitimate response as long as it is not Chinese and a fire.

I get such a kick out of Calvin’s “black thoughts”.

Great facial expressions in this one, and the last panel I find to be the most hilarious part of this story arc!

Calvin will get sick when Hobbes tells him about all the smooches…..

I love Susie’s concentration on running as fast as she can!

Medieval problems require medieval solutions

The heck with this, Calvin..this is a job for stupendous man!

I was kidnapped by a sorority once. Enough said.

1990, cordless drills were a thing right?

Criminals hardly ever obey the golden rule

The expression on Calvin’s face in the third panel is among the best rendition of childhood rage that I have ever seen in comics.

Prisoner exchange, if Hobbes is willing.

Suzie dump some water out the window.

3rd panel lol

Don’t you just hate it when your extortion schemes backfire?

Exterior-hinged door! Go, Calvin!

LOL well susie give him back hobbes and maby he will…
