Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 14, 2021

Calvin got baited here.

curse you, Susie (thinks Calvin)

She knows her chicken.

I bet the turtle was in on this with Susie.

The “dumb ole turtle” is still smarter than Calvin.

GOTCHA

HA! (ha! ha!!) – Sigh! The story of my relationships.

My local river does have turtles, but it does have platypus.

Hoist by his own petard!

Now that’s turtle power……..

No Hobbes?!

And I thought Calvin was smarter than that!!

Busted!

Regardless of who won this round, it’s nice to have your childhood somewhere where you can wander off to the creek to look for turtles.

This time, it’s Susie who is working to get Calvin’s attention rather than Calvin working to get Susie’s.

Drat! Foiled again!

Susie’s good at the shell game.

Any more startled and Calvin would have fallen into the creek…

Back at “Hobbs Creek.” Why Calvin and Hobbes live near Roy Hobbs, I’ll never know.

That’s funny.

It is mortifying, falling for an enemies trap. Just tell her you don’t want her stupid turtle to kill your favorite fish.

Busted!

Dont ever think you can do anything behind your woman’s back, she is already 3 steps ahead of you, If only someone told me, would have saved me 2 divorces and an annulment!

I wonder how many kids they have together these days.

Never, never, never let Susie know that she’s said something interesting!

Can someone do the math here? Calvins age converted to minutes to figure out how many times in an hour he’d have had to have seen a turtle to be in the “millions?”

And where have you seen those millions of turtles? I want exact locations, exact times and days, and exact descriptions of these turtles and what they were doing. GO! NOW!

I wonder if Susie and Lucy Van Pelt trade notes?

The whole “meh” attitude is so unattractive. Nobody is going to think you are “special” because you are uninterested in life.

that was predictable xd

She’s walking away upset. She was really trying to share her discovery with Calvin, who treated her badly.

Now Calvin plots his revenge

What’s Mitch McConnell doing down by the creek?

Hook, line and sinker, Calvin!

Li’l ’ol Calvin, You have been busted ! !

We ALL want to see a turtle down by the creek! ♡
