Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 09, 2018

This is not a drill!

THIS IS FOR REAL!

Well there goes Calvin’s dessert for a while.

Is the sound of children vomiting really that loud?

They really do hate this kid, don’t they?

Must be all that “lunch” Calvin’s been making himself.

Love her expression in panel three

It’s probably Martian Flu from his last adventure that he picked up from the Martian.

Yesterday my friend slept at half past 5 in the morning very deeply and suddenly she looked into the face of a policeman. Her husband walked into the entrance and died. Some people called police and ambulance and policemen wakened up my friend with this cheerful surprise!!

One needs to be very careful what they ask for

Too late, Mom! You said it, and Calvin really is sick!

Pipe down. That’s gonna earn him some points.

BARRRFF: Not exactly Don Martin, but it works…

Oh no! Where’s Hobbes?!

Heck yes…..gets you out of bed quick!!!

As we say in the Spanish language, “Y Nomas tienén un pínche huerco!”

I always wanted to hear somebody pipe up.

But the dessert was good. Soooooo good.

Louder.

Dad’s remark reminds me of the time one of our girls got sick THREE times in the middle of the night. I had to get up, clean her off, dump her vomit-y bedclothes in the tub, remake the bed, and then do it again. Once the Late and Unlamented growled at me for making so much noise, and he slept through the rest of it.

I remember this arc.

Been there. Done that. #BarfingKidsRFun

“Woman Beats Sleeping Husband To Death. More at 11!”

This happens to me, plus striping sheets to place in the washing machine. We have 2 kids now adults, but having 2nd kid sick. Then call the school in morning 2 kids sick. Then I get sick and still have to keep going. Husband gets sick stays in bed. Only one bathroom.

Some things never change. After THIRTY YEARS the premise of this strip still rings true!

Panel 5: wife with shotgun, husband saying “we both know that’s not loaded” Panel 6: wife being led away in handcuffs, massive hole in bed

LOL at the onomatopoeia for Calvin’s vomiting, how it’s just “BARRRFF!” I think this music cue could accompany that moment and Mom’s reaction perfectly…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAlE9CglItI

Explosive vomiting. Lovely.

Watterson must’ve taken a cue from River City Ransom for the third panel.

It’s not the loudness, it’s the grossness. This coming from the kid who did exactly this to her parents.

Gosh, I remember those days. Being constantly sick around Calvin’s age. I now haven’t thrown up for 18 and a half years now. Since I was 12 years old in sixth grade

Be careful what you say Mom: because you just might get it
