Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 18, 2024

Now, the inmates are in charge…..

What Hobbes said is like having a great school day. Only without going to school.

Fun while it lasts

As if stealing test notes wasn’t bad enough.

Love how Hobbes’ enthusiasm mimics Calvin’s.

Can’t believe Rosalyn could be so gullible; I thought she was smarter than that. Unless—she went along with it in order to extort more $$$ from Dad! Wouldn’t put that past her!

Everybody take cover! Hurricane Rosalyn is about to hit.

Or she has a key

Did you lock the back door? No, I thought you did! Oh No!!!

I would demand triple the pay…

Calvin you will be in so much trouble when your parents get home. Though Rosalyn should’ve seen this coming.

Party on Garth!

Yesterday, I mentioned in one of my comments that I wasn’t sure whether Calvin pushes Rosalyn by her back or by her butt. Today, it looks like she isn’t pushed at all but just jumps when Calvin slams the door behind her.

Nonetheless, I remember this story arc pretty well. As I said before, it is one of my six personal favourites from 1989 which is my favourite Calvin and Hobbes year because of those six personal favourites.

I love this arch.

Oooooooh Calvin…..you momentarily have the upper hand…..but…..the bill always comes due.

Classic Calvin!

A prison riot at such a young age? Ooh, you are digging your grave deeper and deeper… No, forget the grave. They’ll just seal you under a volcano like a immortal demon king!

Seems like Calvin’s been grounded for life several times already before this. Is he working on being reincarnated and being grounded in that life?

Really bad move, Calvin!

I bet Calvin’s glad he didn’t grow up in the age of cell phones!

To the person who posted the spoiler on Monday… The Count hopes you get pimples on prom night.

That Calvin……should go into acting!!!!!

you think she would’ve learned by now… hopefully she has a spare key on her, which is probable not likely. :j

“Sneaky little drip?” Rosalyn needs some bigger and better adjectives to express her true feelings. Granted, they probably wouldn’t be printable.

The hammer is about to fall

Poor Roslyn! She was suckered in. Or more accurately suckered out.

I look forward to this storyline repeating and its unfolding; Rosalyn is my hero!

yeah as we all know the future doesn’t exist, so we’ll never regret this decision!

The Revenge of the Baby-Sat

As usual, this will NOT End Well for Calvin

Of course, Calvin didn’t think his plan through, and is only in it for the temporary pleasure…

I see the bad moon risin’

I see trouble on the way

I see earthquakes and lightnin’

I see bad times today

Don’t go around tonight

Well, it’s bound to take your life

There’s a bad moon on the rise.

Creedence Clearwater Revival

Enjoy it while you can.

Hobbs, you are not helping!

Yay! FInally!

What could go wrong?

I’m really surprised she fell for that! I thought she knew him better!

Calvin’s way out of line here but it’s still kind of adorable that all he wants is TV and cookies. And that he’d get so enthusiastic about them.

Sweet revenge!

Dear friends, we are gathered here to say goodbye to our beloved Calvin who decided to be stupid…..

Gee, what could go wrong ??? ;-)

Enjoy it while you can. We all know this cannot end well.

This strip rocks. The thrill is unmatched, though repeated many times.

He forgot to lock the back, or side, door.

Except for that doggy door.

Can she come back in through the tiger door?

Do I see a doggie door big enough for Roz to crawl thru? Kind of strange since the family doesn’t have a dog or cat. Maybe for their pet tiger?

Calvin will soon experience the ‘back door blues’.

LOL.. Take the prepayment, get in your car, and LEAVE, Rosalyn…

I would hang him by his toes from the door jamb.

I can’t believe she was that dumb.

When my Mama was a teenager babysitting her younger siblings, she’d tie them together back-to-back (jump ropes). Then, she’d challenge them to escape. That is the best option for Rosalyn.
