Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 09, 2022

Put it to a vote.

Not likely, especially Calvin’s parent.

Good to know Calvin has career plans.

The trash including Calvin’s “crown”.

just you wait until you’re a parent, Calvin (in fan fiction by having a daughter called as Bacon)

It’s good to be the king… or queen

He sounded like Trump just then!!!

Despots are often parents

Maniacal tyrant deposed by the REAL ruler!

Don’ know about tyranny part – but adults who willingly jump into parenthood most certainly are lunatics, Calvin.

Not if they’ve got kids like you, Calvin.

Back to reality Sonny Boy!

I’m a single parent of 3 children, and we’re all autistic (Level 1 as the terminology goes, though my boy has higher needs).

The fun went out of it some time ago.

Don’t kid yourself, you’re gonna have a kid just like you!

Mom trumps maniacal tyrant every time.

Another Putin?? One is too many!!

That was a very short reign.

@STEPUP- With Mike Pence as Hobbs! LOL!!

Can’t wait til’ you have kids of your own, huh Cal?!

Could we please keep politics out of here.

Parent… maniacle tyrant… Same thing.

My middle daughter (who was then the younger one) got annoyed when I asked her to do something. “You only had kids to do all of your work!”

We used to get a crown like Cal’s with a kid’s meal from Burger King

being a parent isn’t “nice”. You’re stuck with children in your house for years on end.

We won’t get anywhere being snipers. Solutions, people. We need solutions, not bickering over the past.

Awright awready. Be a king, emperor, RULE the world. But first, clean up your room and clean the litter box.

po pot – stalin – hitler – All, lived way to long. BASTARDS ALL !

Where do parents get their kids now that Kmart and Sears are out of business?!

Some times. It all depends on the kids.

He sounded like Trump just then!

Guess your whims will have to wait, Calvin.

Mom issues the executive orders around here

Or a Supreme Court Justice!

I’m sure there will be plenty of political comments, but let’s get real. Even easy targets like Trump and Putin (or fill in your own anti-favorite) are not even close to the league of people like Kim Jong-un, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin, Augusto Pinochet, and so many more.

From The Honeymooners:

Ralph: I’m the king; you’re nothing. I’m the king; you’re nothing!

Alice: Well, then, that would make you the king of nothing.

It’s really hard to figure how Calvin could possibly reach that conclusion.

Too bad Trump’s mother never told him to pick up the trash.

It sure is amusing that, left to his own devices to play make-believe, this is what Calvin comes up with.

When I was little there was a chair in our house that looked a little like what I imagined a throne to look like, and once or twice I sat in it pretending to be a king. The only thing I can remember about that particular make-believe is politely thanking my imaginary servants for handing me things.

Someone (I forget who, my bad) mused that when she was little, she envied Grownups because they seemed to be so sure of themselves, competent, wise, knowing. Then she grew up and found she was wrong.

Well, that was the submissive side of the tyrant.

Sic semper tyrannis- taking out the garbage

Parents: The most omnipotent of tyrants to a 6-year-old

A peak into the childhood of POTUS #45

Calvin is acting like the King of Id until Calvin’s mom spoils the fun!

I have three younger brothers so this was just a normal day for me. :)

A young Putin.

thats a good thing!
