Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 23, 2024

It’s called breaking and entering…..

And she did not even break the window anyway which she should have

She’s pretty shrill and emotional

After Rosalyn is paid—TRIPLE her usual fee—Mom and Dad wouldn’t be able to afford any more romantic dinners alone!

I hope Mom and Dad enjoy it while it lasts.

hahaha chuck!!

If things are going so quietly and smoothly if Calvin’s involved I’d be very worried.

“Hey Dear. Why not try for another kid”. Getting home will scupper their supper.

“…Just hears her screaming like a raging loonytic, Chuck. You hears that? Yeah. This what me talking bout.”

Calvin must be retaining water. His feet are all swolled.

4…3…2…1

Does Calvin really think Charlie is going to take relationship advice from a six year old? In fact, what does Calvin even know about romantic relationships? He doesn’t even like girls

Gads lady, it’s not raining or anything. It’s a nice neighborhood. Appreciate what you’ve got. Sheesh. lmao… go Calvin! Enjoy this to the max, there’ll be hell to pay a bit later on, but enjoy!

Why do you put up with this nonsense, Roselyn?

Good luck with that, Dad. Outings are gonna cost you a lot more after tonight and it won’t the rise in the cost of living that does it.

My favorite arc among all the great C&H!

…………and Halloween is coming soon!!!!!

Hope that Calvin hasn’t made any plans for after supper for the next few weeks.

Gives new meaning to “his goose is cooked.”

Spoiler Alert: Rosalyn gets dumped

Haha… my niece has two boys like Calvin and never has the same sitter more than once (excluding grandma).

Mom and dad’s investment in a quiet evening is about to be devalued.

Love the really sharp contrast on how two different things in the same evening are going. Calvin and his parents had better enjoy those moments while they can!

There are no people of color in this strip. Calvin is among white supremacists.

Wow! Calvin’s mom is HOT!

Enjoy it folks. It looks to be your last time out, until you kick Calvin out at his 18th birthday.

On the other hand, Calvin may rule the world by his 17th.

Since R. got paid already, she could have gone home and left Calvin to his own devices….

Wonder why people are having dogs not children these daze?

In another story arc Calvin has to take swimming lessons, & it turns out Rosalyn is teaching at the pool that summer.

Amazingly enough she didn’t try drowning him.

“I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if a babysitters voice suddenly cried out in terror and was suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.”

Probably more often would be nice, but don’t count on ever finding a Calvin-sitter.

LOL… Calvin has obviously rummaged through Roz’s purse and gotten her boyfriends phone number. Too funny…

Chuck will enroll in the GROSS club and be sincere sergeant to Leader till eternity, hail to Calvin!

I wonder what Chuck’s reaction to all this was.
