Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 05, 2022

Calvin’s biggest admirer is himself.

Signed by everyone, I’m sure.

Porridge brain pays no attention at school, but is capable of decoding messages.

A tuna sandwich would help catch the culprit

Well played, Miss Derkins!

The detractor could have spelled Porridge as Poo-rridge.

No Question. It has to be Susie.

I suspect Hobbes.

At least he recognized the intent.

And he got to visit the principal for this? Must be true.

Anonymous letters are never complimentary. That’s why they’re anonymous.I was reading a 1930s “poison pen” mystery the other day and I wondered if, in this digital email Whatsapp age, people still send anonymous letters. Technology has changed, but that kind of person never does.

That sure sounds like Susie—or Hobbes.

The plot thickens… as does the insult.

I don’t think it’s a secret, Hobbes!

Told you a couple of days ago.. it is Susie.

Uh oooh! Someone’s pranking Calvin!

I remember in Christmas Story Ralphie ordered a ring with a code. LOLChristmas Story II is coming out very soon!

Well, poo. Now all there is to do is to find out who sent it and throw some snowballs at her.

Hobbes, of course.

The list of possible culprits is long, but I’m still thinking Calvin is sending them to himself…

Even in the ‘90s. – were kids using the word porridge?

Seems like a good idea, with a few changes. I’m gonna send me a b-day card with $5 and not sign it. I’m getting forgetful, so, by the time the card arrives, I’ll forget that I sent it. Oooh, gobs of fun! ‘’Who sent me a card with money?’’

Must be Susy. A boy would have said, “Calvin is a booger brain.”

Hobbes sent it.

Could be worse, could be a crummy commercial. (Don’t . . . forget . . . to . . . drink . . . your . . . Ovaltine!)

Truth hurts?

Suzie is behind it!!

Odd that Calvin doesn’t suspect who it is right away. Not gonna spoil this one.

It seems that Hobbes planned for the moment, given what he says in the last panel. Hmmm…

Okay, kid… who do you know uses the word porridge?

A porridge brain? How silly that someone went to all that trouble and couldn’t come up with a decent insult.

Never mind Calvin, imgenius people have detractors. I can smell one of the probable ones is that cute Susie next door.

It’s a crummy commercial!
