Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 08, 2018

Let’s just say he was avoiding some people.

Great, now Calvin can ask Max what it’s like to be in jail.

I love this storyline. :)

This was a fun story arc, with some great moments- I liked Calvin interacting with an adult who was more willing to humor him, and not an authority figure for once. It’s too bad Watterson considered him a mistake (“it was awkward that he couldn’t address either of Calvin’s parents by name”).

Maybe Max and Calvin are a lot alike.

Perhaps Max was in the witness protection program. Hey, how come everyone including Calvin assumes the worst?

Judging from Dad’s statement, Uncle Max and Calvin may get along nicely!

I never went to family to ‘avoid’ business partners.

Would you believe Max is a secret agent?

I have a feeling that Calvin will be a lot like Uncle Max when he grows up! ;) (he could, you never know)

What?? Dad is on Calvin’s side??Hold me somebody, I’m scared!

This should be good.

Umm. What do you mean, Dad?

No spoilers please!

Okay, There is a theory that Watterson chose names of philosophical thinkers for Calvin and Hobbes. It could just be a coincidence.. but if not… Max? Would that allude to Max Stirner?

There’s always a couple of Outlaws among the Inlaws!

Hmmm … dad’s scratchin’ his chin thinking of him.
