Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 21, 2021

I wonder if the janitor gets a cut.

Overpriced if you ask me.

What are friends for?…..

Moe and the janitor: that’s a gang.

how very persuasive of you, Moe

Whoever said “you can’t buy friends” obviously never met Moe. :/

Only two of you, so, “between friends.”

Moe can be persuasive.

School admin will side with Moe and suspend Calvin for dirtying the wall and causing the janitor to get overtime for cleaning up the mess!

A week before graduation, I received a phone call that was a death threat. My mother & I answered the phone at the same time, so she not only heard the whole conversation, but talked, pretending to be me (I was too shocked to speak). She actually got a time & date from the caller. Since the police couldn’t help us (without recorded proof they couldn’t do anything), I ended up paying another kid to “be my friend” for that day to protect me.

Moe is a Neanderthal.

If … … … Then … … … — that’s how they used to write batch files in DOS.

Donald Trump took this panel to heart.

I didn’t think Moe was smart enough to come up with that line.

Willie on the railroad tracks

The engine gave a squeal

The engineer just took a spade

And scraped him off the wheel

Does Moe ever get in trouble for assaulting other kids? Never mind.. I was a kid once and there were bullies then too.

Kick Moe in his delicate, pearl-sized appendages?

Calvin breaks the fourth wall…

Amazing that Moe knows a multi-syllable word like spatula!

Does he have a weekly rate?

With friends like these who needs….

Just go with what common cents tells you, Cal!

Bill Watterson is an underrated artist. Remove the dialogue balloons and you can still understand the story from the expressions on Calvin’s face.

At the schools I went to, they’d beat you up for free.

Yes, what’s wrong with little extortion within friends, especially when the friend is six year old who shaves and is three times your weight in addition to being monosyllabic.

Yikes!

I remember this comic from before. Is this a rerun?

I wonder how Moe would have responded if Calvin said “ooh, ooh, how exciting, what do we get to do today as friends?”

Moe walks his kids to school, because they’re in the same grade.

I never really went through that at school. And for that I am grateful.

This is why you try to be on the principal’s good side.
