Yesterday, someone compared this to “The Ransom of Red Chief”. Another comparison would be with Damon Runyon’s “The Snatching of Bookie Bob” in which Harry the Horse, Spanish Johnie and Little Isadore kidnapped a bookie to pay off their debt to another bookie but ended up in debt to the bookie they had kidnapped.
Is it just me or is the sexual tension between Hobbes and Susie a bit creepy? But then, since he is Calvin’s alter ego, does it mean Calvin subconsciously has the hots for Susie? Hmmmm……

Hobbes, a gentletiger doesn’t kiss and tell.

like Las Vegas, what happens in the Derkins house, it stays in the Derkins house

Hobbes’s teeny-tiny smug smirk there has stayed with me ever since I first saw it, lol.

So Calvin lost a quarter on the deal. He didn’t even get satisfaction, plus his tiger likes the enemy. The woes of a six-year-old boy.

Hope Calvin crossed his fingers when he said, “Right! Sure!”… :D

Well, Calvin could try stealing Linus’s blanket in Peanuts.

I love the fan comic that has Calvin and Susie married with a daughter who discovers Hobbes.

Knowing Calvin, it wouldn’t surprise me if the quarter turns out to be a slug.

If Hobbes tells Calvin will be sick beyond belief.

I suppose a truce is best when both sides get what they need but neither side wins.

So apropros for today. Childish man totally in the wrong and too self-centered to admit it or to care.

They BOTH had better hope none of this gets back to their parents.

Wait til Calvin reads about Stockholm Syndrome – he’ll never trust Hobbes again!

Hobbes seems too content with the whole episode.

Pretty sure Hobbes could get a better (and safer) deal with Susie.
