Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 27, 2020

This should pay for Calvin’s college education.

Calvin’s an artist alright. A con artist, that is.

One of the best ways to make money in this time of layoffs. This team is enterprising.

Ironic that nowadays fake Calvins keep showing up on Ebay.

As Picasso said, It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.

Try this, Calvin: Go to a shrink’s office, pull some old Rorshach tests out of the dumpster, sign and frame them, then contact Sotheby’s. You’ll be a millionaire by the end of the month.

Boyo boy Calvin, a nice way into mischieve I suppose

“You probably should…”

This must be where Marla Olmstead got the idea.

If this tactic pans out, he can just take selfies of himself peeing on pretty much everything.

Morals of a cat…tsk! tsk!

So ironic that we are more interested in a strip about Calvin than we are a Rembrandt.

Sure, what could go wrong? /s

What does “cartoon stationery” mean in this context? English isn’t my first language.

That might be illegal.

tigers have an eye for the details.

I thought you can copy anything you want and sell it as long as you don’t copy the signature. Kind of like a perfect copy of the Mona Lisa but signed by Joe Smuckatelli. I might even buy that.

And now Hobbes is officially Calvin’s partner in crime.

Being a good art forger takes more work than Calvin may be willing to put in. Not that I am condoning it.

Actually, it’s more like: if a million 6-year-olds with a million paint brushes worked for a million years, one of the results would look this good.

What could possibly go wrong?

Somehow, he didn’t mention Jackson Pollock by name

The best forgers pay attention to small details, Calvin.

This must be Calvin’s fleeting brush with fame! :D

Is “Forgery” related to the “forge” in “forge ahead” or “iron forge”? Asking for a friend.

WHAT?

yea
