Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 27, 2019

A mistake Rosalyn will only make once.

Nowadays, she could just use her cell phone to call Calvin’s parents.

Unless she left it on the table when she went out.

Oh, Calvin, you’re sure going to get a serious lecture from your parents strips later.

He dinged her – now waiting for the dong!

All’s well until she comes in the back door or through a window.

I was wrong. I felt for sure that she wouldn’t fall for that,

From now on, Rosalyn will ask for QUADRUPLE her normal going rate to babysit Calvin.;-D

Better enjoy, Calvin. Cuz it will be your last!

After seeing Calvin’s face in the first panel today, I just had to go back to the last panel look yesterday! Although it’s been 24 hrs. for most of us, for Calvin, only a moment has passed.

The thrill of victory. Soon to be followed by the agony of defeat and it will be agony like you never, ever had Calvin.

Is that a cat flap on the door?

After those cookies and TV, there will come a time at which Calvin will have to pay the piper. Lucky Hobbes will just have to play dead and watch…

Calvin better enjoy his night of fun and frolic. There will punishment when Mom and Dad come home!

Love the way the door slamming is depicted in panel 2! Super art.

That baby sitter should have known by now not to trust Calvin.

My kids have locked me out of the house a couple times. Once they forgot mom was in the the house. Fortunately I’m still smarter and sneakier than them. I was able to get in the other time before any unnatural disasters occurred.

Knowing Calvin, she really shouldn’t have fallen for that one.

I’m gonna bet she didn’t really say “drip”.

And he only locked one door? There’s always a flaw in Calvin’s plans.

There is a reason we never see Calvin as a 7-year-old.

Since the only animal in the house is a stuffed tiger, why does there appear to be a pet flap on the door?

you shoudlve known calvin woul do somethin like this!!

Now why didn’t I ever think of that when I had babysitters?

Yes thae sitter should know better & pay back will be a b****.

Easy on the cookies, Calvin. I like ’em too. But getting sick from them was never a major objective.

Ahhhh Calvin, the thrill of victory, the agony of the parent’s wallet.

She still gets paid even if she is locked out. She should enjoy the peace and quiet away from Calvin and let his parents deal with him when they get home.

Rosalind might consider this as on the job training for her future as a maximum security guard.

Instead of keeping on raising Rosalyn’s per diem, Dad should spend the money to build a cage in the basement…

Calvin’s parents should have given her a copy of the key

Rosalyn did NOT call him a “drip”. That was edited. LOL

One of the best adventures of baby sitting! I wonder how a six year old can get this witty.

Why does Rosalyn keep babysitting Calvin if he does stuff like this every time?
