Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 07, 2021

Why plumbing should be left to the professionals.

Where is Mom?

I may need a raise in my allowance…..

You just like putting yourself in danger, don’t you Calvin?

By the way, dad, we now have an indoor swimming pool.

Let’s go swimming!

Calvin, dad doesn’t want to you to call if it’s not an emergency. The situation should qualify in fifteen minutes.

Calvin’s in deep water trouble….

Lucky he asked for presents before he brought out the real news.

Dad should do a better job of hiding his tools!

Now should about be a good time to ask for snorkelling gear.

I’m offended that no one is wearing any masks in these strips. I hope they’ve all been vaccinated.

Next question where is mom?

By now, dad should just assume it’s an emergency.

“Well, you see, Dad, it’s like this – turns out, Mom can’t swim…”

How did that even happen in the first place.

Put in a call to the Blondie strip, they have a plumber on speed dial to fix all of Dagwood’s efforts.

“You know that pool you’ve always wanted? …..”

High high’s the water momma?

Is it ever good news?

I hope that lamp isn’t turned on. Electricity and water don’t mix. Calvin the crispy critter debuts in tomorrow’s comic section.

My personal favorite!

Calvin has just thrown a wrench into the rest of the day

Chocolate pudding flood.

Reminds me of when I used to do free-lance IT support. I got an excited call from a regular customer. He was 300 miles off the coast of Baja California in his sailboat. I had to ask him to stop shouting into the phone.

“How high is the water? Is it up to your ankles?”

“Water? What water?”

“The water in the boat”

“There’s no water in the boat.”

“Then calm down.” His cursor wasn’t responding to mouse movements. I reminded him that his radar had a tendency to “glitch” his computer. He rebooted and it was fine.

I hope Hobbes is okay.
