Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 29, 2022

Forget about that, Dad. She’s not going to risk having another Calvin.

And how do you know this, Calvin?

Dealing with Calvin everybody needs to be a super hero/heroine.

But you don’t have anything to show for it, Calvin. Ergo show AND tell.

Careful dad, Calvin might end up with a sibling.

Calvin, a legend in his own mind! ;D

I’m thinking that Ms. Wormwood drinks because Calvin DROVE her to drink.;-D

She has to be a Wonder Woman to be Calvin’s Mom.

After Calvin’s classmates tell their fathers about this, Mom might get a few phone calls.

Show ALL of us.

One thing about Cal’s school reports — they’re never dull. Other kids really enjoy them and the teacher’s reaction.

Mom, Calvin thinks you’re a superhero!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It’s Supermum!

Can’t wait for her to use her superpowers on dad

Calvin has suggested to Hobbes that Dad’s “boring” image may be a front for a superhero identity but Hobbes, as usual, was more realistic. In one Sunday strip, Calvin fantasised that he had found Mom and Dad changing into their superhero identities.

I love Dad’s response.

LOL :) The irony. The Countess is getting a pair of knee-high, high-heel boots for Christmas. :) They will go with the pair of tights that match the Bengals black uniform pants I got for her earlier. No kidding. :)

Hm. I put my old outfit on ebay. I didn’t know who bought it.

Yowsa!

I like the dad’s response. :D

The problem with being a superhero nowadays is that there are fewer and fewer phone booths to change in.

Why Dad? Do you want to be her sidekick?

I never had anything to show and tell. Can’t believe they still did this in the 80s.

I’d like to see my wife in that outfit

Hmmm! Even dads never seen this “other side” of her!

Hmmm….Christmas shopping ideas for my wife this year: Patriotic leotard? Check. A cape? A bit superfluous, but Check. Knee-high, high-heeled boots? Oh, baby…Check!

ALL Moms are Superhero’s

It seems to me there are worse things he could be making up about his mom.

Show me, first.

I hope Mom has the body to pull it off.

There you go. IF you’re going to tell a story, tell a humdinger.

Mom is glad the whip didn’t get a mention.

Some people really do have superheroes for relatives, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N_eeUlmIoc

Calvin’s story might not have been believable to Ms. Wormwood, but as least he didn’t bring something venomous to school…never mind how I know you get in trouble for doing that…

“Show you that outfit sometime. ARE YOU CRAZY??? Do we really want to risk having another Calvin around here?”

High Five to Dad!

Tonight’s villain will be played by Dad.

I thought she was The Evil Mom-Lady?

LOL… Hmmm, Mom has secrets even Dad did not know of. Gotta love Calvin’s imagination.

She does put on the outfit but only long enough to do the “Yeah-Calvin-is-at-school” dance. :)

The correct response is for his mother to write a note to the teacher, saying, “I find that very concerning. Calvin has been told many times not to reveal that to anyone. Please forget everything he said.”

Calvin’s Mom to the Dad: “Have you even heard a word I said? Honey?”

Forgot to tell that she’s from a planet far far away.

I remember when Calvin thought the same thing about his dad… https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1989/08/08

Be glad he’s not making you out to be the villainous Mom-Lady this time.

Oh that’s a harmless story. Did it really require a note home?

Sounds like Sailor Moon…

Calvin SHOWED creativity. And as usual, got in trouble for it.

Don’t forget the golden lasso for those liking that sort of thing.

Her superhero name is Stupendous Mom!

Umm…I don’t think she fights crime with that on….

And so Calvin assists in the making of new babies!!!

No, Calvin… That’s what she does after school when you’re at home.

That is stinkin’ hilarious!

It feels like this could be Wallace’s Mom, maybe.

Perfect description of The Black Canary.

That’s probably what my Dad would’ve focused on too; “Where are you keeping that outfit?”

They may curtail Calvin’s comic book purchases. Otherwise I can’t really top Dad’s last line.

Moms alter ego would come handy in controlling both the Adams in the house.

Just happy to see the correct word: heroine.
