Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 25, 2022

Simple, they don’t listen to insane kids like you.

Avoiding costly lawsuits and charges of being accessory to a crime is a very good way to stay in business.

Maybe you can ask Customer Service..

I think a trebuchet would do. I as thinking one for a pumpkin tossing for after Halloween

The customer service just isn’t there.

Try Acme

Calvin forgets that Susie is pretty good at retaliating.

Check out Catapults-Are-Us.

Calving is going to be delighted the day EBay arrives. It will be goodbye to phone calls.

Mechanization is not the solution to your problems, Calvin.

And the flirting goes on……..

NOW, you only have to do a 5-minute search of the internet to find exactly what you need. :D

I agree with Calvin. How can a hardware store stay in business when they don’t even sell catapults?

50 pounds? A little excessive, isn’t it, Calvin?

Go over to Cul de Sac, and talk to Dill’s brothers

Time to get the tools out and get to work.

Well, I understand your disappointment young man. Perhaps I could interest you in a flame thrower or a weed eater? …capitalism has 20/20 hindsight AND blinders as soon as your lawyer shows up. (I see exactly what I want to see perfectly)

The problem is, at age 6, Susie is too small a target.

Probably by snitching to the FBI on calls from potential domestic terrorists…

Must not have called Ace, with the helpful hardware person …

Don’t worry, they’ll leave on their own

Try Trebuchets “R” us.

Next time call Putin!

You might try contacting Dill’s older brothers.

A store around here had a slogan: “If we don’t have it, you don’t need it.”

I’d say the C&H series of the last several months has been quite whacked.

No, but they would be glad to deliver the snow.

You’re looking to snow job a female? You’re not old enough to be a rake, son.

The hardware stores has better job to do than to help you in planning to trick hapless six year old girl.

so much for “the customer is always right!”

I think Ikea has one in their outdoor section.

Calvin, you were born too soon. I’m sure today you can find a youtube video on how to build a catapult with household supplies.

Should have tried Home Despot…

How do these businesses stay in business? By not messing around with people like you, Calvin!

Usually by not making sales like that one.

Calvin made those obnoxious phone calls that no one cared to answer. Delivered by ACME indeed!

If only the ACME Corporation existed in “Calvin and Hobbes”… no wait, bad idea! Bad idea!

Try Dill’s brothers over at Cul de Sac.
