Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 14, 2020

The third panel is priceless.

Not enough for a baseball team, but enough for a basketball ball team with a 6th man or a ice hockey team.

Makes me wonder what would happen if Hobbes had been duplicated instead.

Four panels of great cartooning, but the third panel is classic.

And still no Calvinball?

But doesn’t each subsequent copy get a little blurrier?

Oh, and how the heck do you burn out a cardboard box?

Silly duplicate, you should have duplicated the duplicator before it burned out.

Calvin is going to have to find a new box or buy one to repair this mess. No more free time for Calving to play, he will be training them, hiding them and thinking of all the confusion he can cause.

Six times the mayhem ………

BB probably got tired of drawing Calvins and stopped at 6.

Will Mom have enough food for five of them?

I can’t wait to see how this is going to end. Just think what fun they could have with the babysitter.

And suddenly the world is one step closer to total destruction!

The potential for destruction is no less than catastrophic.

Oh boy, I can hear dad now. “More tax deductions honey!”

Too bad they each don’t have a Hobbes as well.

I would not want to be part of Calvin’s world. It would just drive me crazy.

Wait ‘till Mom, and the press, finds out she has sextuplets. Sextuplets and they haven’t yet even reached puberty.

Are they exact duplicates? Do they all have belly buttons?

Hobbes could always eat the five duplicates.

Miss Wormwood will leave the school screaming if six Calvins show up one day.

It’s “Family Circus” from Hell… and I’m loving it.

I hate it when that happens.

A cheaply built duplicator.

Too many for To Tell the Truth!

From Young Frankenstein: “WHAT HAVE I DONE? DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN, WHAT HAVE I DONE?”

I’m following this storyline every day as avidly as I did during the original run.

…and a “fifth” is what the parents will soon be needing.

What is the world going to do with 6 Calvins?

Only Calvin can deliver success with such disastrous results.

Right now I would say the biggest engineering challenge is creating the “un-duplicator”. ;-)

Heh, I picture Hobbes doing the Wilhelm Scream in the third panel!

Tough to beat five of a kind.

See the positive side, the duplicator burned after fifth one. Difficult to imagine sea of Calvins.

How many were they trying for? And to what end, the baseball team?

Making copies from copies….could there be degradation after awhile?

“We’d better straighten him AAUGH!”

Certainly hope Calvin got the premium Service Contract on the Duplicator

And they’re all smiling. The calm before the storm.

It’s going to be mayhem in the house today.

What’s better then Calvin? Six Calvins!
