Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 23, 2019

Have to give the boy credit for trying even when you know it’s going to fail.

it’s Rosalyn time again (could it be the arc of locking her out of the house? I’m honestly forgetting at the present moment)

Take Rosalyn’s shoes next.

Surprised she only has one pair.

Always have a spare anything.

Imelda Marcos she’s not.

While she’s looking for the shoes, grab the car keys Calvin.

This is true guerrilla warfare.

Please tell me she has other shoes

My kid’s first word was “shoes.” It makes sense: He hung out down where the shoes were.

With Calvin around, trouble is always afoot!

Ooooh the places we can’t go without shoes!

That’s a lot of height for an imaginary tiger. Maybe he just threw them.

I love the totally unnecessary ~but totally cute shoulder ride

Is Calvin using a ladder in this scene?

She’s not going out in her housecoat is she?

She doesn’t have more than one pair of nice shoes?

I have to admit, that’s a clever idea.

I wonder who tops the hated list for babysitters: Calvin or Dennis?

Be afraid, Calvin… be VERY Afraid… Rosalyn is on her way!

We loved babysitters! A chance every time to scare off a new one!

Shoot, I thought she’s wearing a bathrobe. She not only has only one pair of shoes, she’s going out in that frumpy dress?

Typical man: priority issues. It’s more important to show wife you care about her than to be on time, buddy!

When Cal grows up (if Susie doesn’t kill him) and if he commits a crime, any muggle of a lawyer could get him off by just referring back to his antics as a kid.

Sometimes, that boy is a real heel, and I often wonder if he has a sole.

hey, that is a rerun!

Oh Boy!! Rosalyn

I have a kid (now 35) that would have done this, if he’d thought of it.
