Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 21, 2018

Mom could play along.

Silly boy! If you blew your head off, how can you be talking?

Try fooling someone else, Calvin. Just a “heads” up.

@LL I’ve got an answer but it grosses me out.

Calvin should have kept his eyelids open, then he would have only lost his eyeballs. D

Mom, it’s not as if you are on a computer or phone. Let’s have some fun.

Sleepy Hollow springs to mind, must be the time of the year

Would that make him the headless Hobbesman?

Everyone nose this is nothin’ to sneeze at. (Aw, go on. Just run with it)

If Mom doesn’t fall for it, then try Dad!

I guess I was a fun mom; I would have played along with my son.

Stolen or borrowed from Berkley Breathed who is a good friend of Watterson.

Idiot mom; she’s supposed to humor him in his imagination. No wonder he hates his parents.

I read about some guy who held back a sneeze and ruptured something in his throat.

Something tells me this would not have worked on Susie either.

First two panels….Murphy’s law of sneezes!

My avatar walked off of this strip.

My mom used to play along when I did stuff like this.

I didn’t like it.

Good thing his shirt was still down when he sneezed..

If she were mor gullible she’d do a lot more traveling.

The Headless Horseman? (Spoiler Alert! It was Brom Bones scaring Ichabod Crane)…

Did you know that if you sneeze, belch, and fart at the same time it will kill you? 8^)

Would it kill her to play along with him once and a while?

My son thought the same thing until I explained I had been a child myself, he seemed surprised.

Mom could have played along a little bit.

There are mom’s who do not want to play along.

Reminds me of Berkeley Breathed’s astronaut cartoon, see https://www.mindmeister.com/1061811033/berkeley-breathed-history-of-american-illustration
