Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 20, 2024

Is Mom a good climber?

Gotta love this whole story arc! :D

Mom is too much to bear…..

not just bear, Mom must be part bloodhound!

The filicide rate is climbing

If Calvin freaks out any more, he just may fall out of the tree and save his mum the effort of climbing it.

I’m impressed that she was able to find him that quickly.

Is this what they call “watch out what you doing to my kids”, the mama bear response.

Whatever you do, don’t tell your mom you think she looks like a bear.

Naturally, yelling at the top of your voice will not attract her attention……

A bear will only maul you to death. Nothing compared to a mom’s lecture.

Thank you to the readers on Tuesday who wished me a safe and enjoyable trip yesterday. It was indeed an enjoyable trip and I have already revealed the highlights in my comments on today’s Andy Capp and Fred Basset strips.

Eventually, Calvin—you’ll reach the top of the tree. Then, what? Do you think you and Hobbes can just fly away?

He’s more scared of his own mother than a bear?

What’s she doing with that chainsaw?

I see scenes from Christmas Vacation coming up, with sappy hands.

She’ll be so relieved he’s ok he’ll get outta this one

Guess they didn’t quite make it to the next state.

Poll: who thinks that hobbes is just calvin’s imagination

Ain’t no mountain high enough.

It’s no use Calvin. You might as well accept the fact you’ll be paying for the car well into your retirement age… if you live that long, which knowing how steamed his dad gets when it comes to pricey damage, is very unlikely!

Would you rather meet your angry Mom or a bear in the woods?

You can only go so high, Calvin.

Calvin I don’t believe you can climb high enough this time!

Anyone else imagine Hobbes delivering his line in the last panel like a “That’s no bear, that’s my wife” punchline?

Calvin is definitely not choosing the bear.

You might as well come down and face the music, Calvin.

Calvin did not run far enough.

Dum de dumdum

Or what if it were the Mom disguised in a bear suit?

Nothing from @Gent?

How did she get there? 10/10

Poll: What will happen next?

I think he’d be safer with a bear. Or at least (as they say) momma’s loaded for bear.

Calvin Has The Worst Luck

Oops, no, it’s the Wiley bears.

Something scarier than a bear.
