Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 24, 2019

It will hopefully be a quick and painless execution.

“Play the fife lowly, bang the drum slowly as you carry me along”

Hobbes: "What do you mean “we’re”?"

I hear Taps in the background.

Calvin’s expression in the last panel!

A. Love Calvins look in panel 4. Hilarious andB. MUM IS GOING TO MURDER YOU AND HOBBES CALVIN. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES

Well at least the chasing is over with.

At the very least, Calvin didn’t have to figure out how to stop the car in any theatric-dramatic way.

Hobbes’s tail is still bushy in panel one.

Er Mum? You forgot to put the handbrake on and the car rolled out……***cough***

GRUNTCHES are not good . . .

GRUNTCH!

That ding dong deserves what he gets.

Well, it is not a tragedy, but it is something of a catastrophe. On the plus side, the club house is cleared out now.

Calvin learned a very important lesson: Sir Issac Newton always wins.

There are those who will argue that it’s not Calvin’s fault that his mom did not lock the car. He’s the victim here.

“What’s this “we” stuff, naked ape?"

Sort of a mixed blessing, eh Calvin?

OK, that last panel made me belly-laugh.

So should Hobbes say “I told you so!”

Deny everything!

“All’s well that ends well”, eh, Hobbes?

I think everyone has had those days where the best you had to celebrate is your imminent demise.

My brother did the same thing to my parent’s friend’s car while it was in our driveway. Gotta’ admit, it was pretty entertaining to me at the time to watch him get in some serious trouble afterwards.

I did something similar when I was a kid, man I got the spanking of my life.

I think thats worse

“At Farmers, we’ve seen a thing or two.”

Bushy tail (love it) aside “Grounded for life” is possible. Or mom is glad she gets a new car.

What a silly place to put a ravine.

Friends, and fellow American’s, I have had just about enough of this. How about you? May I suggest we just move on to when Calvin is about 30, and pulls a ‘Fargo’ on Hobbes?

Best. Comic. Artwork. Ever.

Heh, the “GRUNTCH!” in the third panel, I picture it being a combination of a big branch crunch and the old Warner Bros. junk crash sound effect… https://www.sounddogs.com/media/fastpreview/Sounddogs-Preview-10295073.mp3

now days, if that car hit someone, Calvin would be arrested. That is the impression I get from wacko instances of kids being arrested for minor things now, which are ridiculous.

I hate when my car goes “Gruntch!”

Just in time for Memorial Day, Cal.

Epic face on Calvin in the last panel, as others have said. I’d been waiting for it during this arc, since I’ve seen it before.

Made me laugh out loud.
