Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 23, 2020

Must be a new record.

A new digging method! Who needs shovels now?

Save the “I’m free” thing for when you graduate, Calvin. ( Oops! Sorry. I meant “If”)

He’ll be ‘free’ only when he’s released from the State hospital!!

The start of the best Rosalynn story!

Unfounded fears, Calvin. Unfounded fears.

Yup Calvin – a house with ANY feline is ne’er home.

“A house with a tiger never is a home.”

Yer out!!!

The 3rd panel is epic! Calvin’s expression is priceless!

One of these days Calvin will learn to use the back door.

I love Hobbes. There. I said it.

I remember exactly two of these “Hobbes greeting Calvin” strips where Calvin gets the better of Hobbes, and in one of those it was very temporary.

SPOILER:

Rosalyn is around the corner……

Well, you have yourself to blame. They offered you a sweet little bunny or a cuddly teddy bear, but no…..

“Look how far we landed” Ha. Sounds like me on a winter sidewalk. Of course my ’I’ve fallen and I can’t get up’ days are swiftly approaching so maybe not so ha.

Don’t you just love coming home after a long day at school Calvin? Just nod if you agree.

Ok, now let’s see them explain the divot in the front yard.

So…if it’s all in Calvin’s mind; how does he explain the trench in the front yard to his Dad? He dug it himself?

I guess saying “Home sweet home” is NOT a safer alternative to the usual “I’M HOME!” when coming home from school…

Mom to Calvin: “Young man, just how you did tear up the yard that quickly? And don’t tell me Hobbes pounced on you.”

On the contrary, a home is just not a home without a loving tiger to give you a big full-bodied hug when you get home.

Hobbes did NOT practice social distancing.

Calvin needs to learn to feint right, then move left, and vice-versa.

You’re wrong, Calvin. A house without one is never a home.

I love these welcome home strips..

C&H’s pouncing antics never cease to amuse us C&H readers.

And some people think that Hobbes is a stuffed tiger – nuts.

The childish charm of coming from school to home with mother making welcoming cookies is priceless.
