Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 24, 2021

Calvin, tell your Dad he’s violating your Second Amendment rights.

A flame thrower would be useful if any killer bees end up in Calvin’s neighborhood.

Yeah, that’s helpful.

Dad…..how can you argue with that?

Mel Brooks even once merchandised a Star Wars parody flamethrower which he claimed kids love that one.

A good father must know how to say “No!”, sometimes.

Hey Billy, I just got a new flamethrower but my dad won’t let me use it in my house. Can I come over to your house and use it?

We used to make miniature flame throwers. Hair spray and matches

Especially if you didn’t use it in the house, Calvin. Your dad just ain’t that dumb…

Just wait until he figures out a can of WD40 can be turned into a flame thrower….great fun!!

I’ll use it outside on the house instead.

My middle son actually asked me for a flamethrower a few days ago. I’m not sure if he was serious but my response (" Hell no! ") was a little more emphatic than Calvin’s dad.

That the child way, eh-always trying to find loopholes in the word “no”. ;D

By now Dad has to know that silly is Calvin’s natural state.

Now I want a flame thrower, or maybe a grenade launcher. That would be cool.

Trying to find a loophole, Calvin?

You say that now

Are we so different? I wanted a P-47.

I had a Mattel Agent Zero M Sonic Blaster 5530 bazooka when I was a kid. My eardrums (and the eardrums of others in the vicinity) might have suffered for it, but that thing was cool enough.

Check out his intentions. He may not want to use it in the house, ask him about the senate.

“Come on, work with me here, will ya?”

Hey, he compromised. Your turn dad.

If Calvin supported the Alpha Betas Kickstarter, he might be able to get a flame thrower. He would have to pay $10,000 dollars for it, but still.

(No one here is going to know what I’m talking about.)

In German the word is Flammenwerfer. I always liked the sound of that word. Flammenwerfer.

Dads can be so unreasonable.

Who was it making miniature flame throwers for $500? Elon Musk? What ever happened to that idea?

How old is Calvin?

Well, you could give him some sparklers, they burn at 1200 Frankenstein. Not as much fun, still good for a ride to the E R.

Oh, well, then, that’s okay.

Kids should never own flamethrowers. Never.

I once had a girlfriend whose tongue could’ve stood in for a flamethrower.

When she was 8 years old, my daughter put a flamethrower on her Christmas wish list. As a 30 year old, she now insists she was “joking.”

We just made are own Flamethrowers as kids, loads of fun.
