Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 06, 2016

An episode they will tell their children about.

Hobbs wants smooches

He’ll only get Hobbes to read it for him anyway…

All of a sudden Calvin cares about his homework?

Isn’t that extortion rather than blackmail?

Ah yes, the classic. Humiliate them when they are at their most vulnerable.

I remember reading somewhere long ago that Watterson said “Yes, I married Susie.”

Did someone fetch the phone down for Susie, or does she have a hyper extensible arm?

Oh, she missed him!!

just say that her voice is melodious

I love the memory of when calling something or someone stupid was a rea insult. My favorite now is that I used to call my brother “You stinker!!” Now four year olds use four letter words!

Forget it, Calvin – she’s in one of those moods you won’t understand for another ten years yet.

One of my favorites.

No six year old voices are melodious. They’re all shrill.

Damn Daniel

Why does she remind me of Charlie Brown?

Why did he call Susie? There must be other kids from his class he could have called instead. He may not want to admit it, but maybe he has a secret crush on Susie.

Calvin, just tell her, her voice is melodious, and silently to your self add, in a shrill kind of way

Oooh. They have each other’s phone numbers!

xxx

C’mon Susie, just tell Calvin what the assignment is!

.

Unless you don’t remember either…

Just do it!

Suzy is so cute.!

Actually, it’s extortion. But it’s warranted.

Really, why does she care that Calvin would say she has a melodious voice? He could say she has an odious voice and she would be equally not influenced to care.

Ahhhhhh Calvin she has a crush on you
