Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 14, 2015

Rosalyn now knows how Calvin’s parents feel.

The main skill needed be a good Calvinball player is an imagination to make up new rules as you go. Rosalyn figures this out…

Hey Ros! Nice mask!

Rosalyn is a babysitter of good mental resources. The way some “crazy” people used to brought back down to earth in medieval times was for someone to act “crazier” than they and challenge their level of “reality”. Sorry, that’s not Not a professional explanation (there were no actual professionals as we now know them—just blood-letters and leech users), but it sometimes worked. Of course it was just an ad hoc response to a bad situation. Go Roz.

You must understand to play it, Rosalyn doesn’t!!

The key to Calvinball is to make up rules as you go. When Rosalyn figures that out, she should make up more rules (and more bizarre rules) than Calvin can. Baffle ’em with….

She could use some rules from Fizzbin.

I remember Rosalyn wearing the mask. I’d forgotten the circumstances.

Go ahead Roz! With his mind he will be President one day! Just look at the people running today! All were like him once! Both party’s

@ LeadingEdge love your mask…looks familiar

Every game needs rules – especially Calvinball. I would make the first rule no singing or dancing.

Rule number 2 would be no celebrations of any kind.

Rum Tum Tugger, The Curious Cat?

What is important Roslyn, are you learning from your mistakes? Some folks never do…

Rosalyn, you were a genius! He’s done his homework and been good almost all evening. Now you just have half an hour when he sings and plays wildly by himself. Egg him on, and in 30 minutes he will be so exhausted you’ll have to carry him upstairs (unless the adrenalin rush keeps him up all night).

All Calvinball players must be tested for Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs……..

Grog, you take all the fun out of games. Do you work for the NFL?

Go with the flow, Ros; you just might have fun yourself.

To add to Grog’s list: under equipment – no weapons of mass destruction allowed.

However, seeding the field with ferocious Allosaurs is allowed.

Hobbes looks cute with his mask!xxx

You’ll have a blast, Rosalynn!

Named after you huh? Most words of the name, Calvin I look up on google is pictures of you.

Be careful Rosalyn, it is a known fact Calvin can duplicate himself and be in two places at once…

Yeah Ros…so much better to be locked out and combing the bushes like the last time you babysat our Cal.

Sooner or later, it might come to this…

It gets better, Rosalyn!
