Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 27, 2022

Calvin preparing for his career as prop guy on Nickelodeon.

what was he planning to soak her with? linoleum?

As long as Susie doesn’t trust Calvin, she’ll make all the friends she would like.

Do you think something Calvin said tipped her off?

Calvin, don’t be so detailed about a surprise! It’s a surprise!

Need to work on that salesmanship, Slick

She will trust so long as the person asking her to do the thing is trustworthy to begin with.

Is it just me or does someone else also think Calvin is up to no good?

She just knows you too well…..

Sussie smelt is fish… rat…, or maybe just a Calvin.

Not trusting you is why she also has not had occasion to kill you.

Trust is often earned. Calvin’s record makes that sort of difficult.

You are not trustable Calvin!!

Calvin, trust is a 2-way street. If you do something mean to Suzie, you can trust that she will clean your clock.

I really love the strips where Susie turns the tables on Calvin!!

That usually happens in winter, when she pelts him with snowballs.

Besides being cute, Susie is very smart.

Perhaps, some day, she may be POTUS!!

It’s not a surprise if you keep warning her, Calvin!

Early lesson learned by Calvin. Never make a girl wait.

Ha… Who’s surprised now?

That looks like an N-95 mask.

Calvin is a bully. He just isn’t very good at it.

So who doesn’t have any friends?

What a little stinker. :)

‘Calvin’, it is just that ‘Susie’ knows you too well and has learned what to expect !! ! ! ! !

Calvin grows up to have a successful career in the hazmat business.

Good thing Calvin didn’t ask Susie if her parents have insurance

“… and does your family have health insurance?”

Calvin, it’s people like you that made “The Ice Bucket Challenge”, go off the rails.

Usually Calvin ‘plains Donald Trump very well—but this time Susie got the best of him. Kinda’ like the Georgia Sec. of State telling Trump to back off.

Fact of life: When Calvin says he has a surprise for you, start running immediately.

Just WHAT is Calvin up to?

Calvin is about as subtle as an ACME product used by Wiley Coyote. Beep Beep.

Nice of Calvin to care about her clothes.

Susie is smart.

It looks like Susie has very good judgment. Good for her!

At least he had his N95 mask on

What people trusting you, Calvin?

Nice of him to think of her clothes – well, hum nice?

He’s said too much!
