Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 19, 2024

That you’re a fraud, Calvin.

Calvin, your imagination with toys is boundless…..

He’s trying to keep the photos so he gets the money instead.

The kid is a basket case, no doubt about it!!!

I used to put toy dinosaurs in grass and look at them through my telescope.

Dustin Hoffman knew that the future was in plastics

There it is……..

Dad musta peed the bed as a kid, cuz he’s still a wet blanket

Leave it to Dad to burst Calvin’s bubble! BTW, when I was a kid, my best friend and I played with toy dinos; we really let our imaginations go wild, then!

This explains a lot.

“Insinuating” is a pretty big word for Calvin. It sounds much more like a Hobbes word!

“Just history taking full circle, dad! They looked plastic, then they turned to oil and were made plastic again!”

When plastic dinosaur figures roamed the Earth…

guess Dad doesn’t approve of cosmetic surgery

Some of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were plastic, and they made some people quite a bit of money.

I think Cal will be a democrat

“Small and plastic”. Ohh, such scarring words from my wife on our wedding night. :-(

“We’re going to be rich.” Calvin means himself and Hobbes, of course. NOT himself, Dad and Mom. Dad seems well aware of this.

No reality allowed, dad.

It’s curious why the Sabre Toothed Hobbes is so much larger than the “dinosaurs” – but Hobbeses were a lot bigger back then!

Well, what did you expect when you take photos of dinosaur toys and try to pass them off as the real deal?

I am unable to fathom why no one realizes just how dangerous it was for Calvin and Hobbes to almost be eaten by a plastic dinosaur!

They looked small and plastic in those 1950 sci-fi movies.

Calvin was at least outside playing and using his imagination.

I had every plastic dinosaur made. I still have the dinosaur encyclopedia

Not exactly an insinuation, Calvin.

Careful, Dad. Calvin will be picking your nursing home.

Busted. Forget the chauffeur driven limo kiddo.

That’s it, dad! I’m cutting you off.

The f-stop wasn’t quite right…

Next to the green army guys, they were huge.

But Hobbes is in one of the photos with the dinosaurs! I bet if it’s the stuffed Hobbes, he’s bigger than the dinosaurs.

At least Calvin’s consistent in his self-delusions regarding animals!

Should have taken the pictures on a poster on Raquel Welch 1,000,000 BC. That would get dad’s attention.

I have to wonder how Calvin feels about being scared off by a plastic allosaur.

Plastic dinosaurs are made from real dinosaurs, so Calvin is correct.

No one really knows what dinosaurs looked like and scale can be deceiving. The Earth could have been much smaller in those days. :)

And the other shoe drops ! ;-)

For those of you who say plastic dinosaurs aren’t dangerous: Obviously you haven’t seen any of the early Godzilla movies!

Calvin will grow up to be a prolific inventor; his imagination knows no bounds ♥♥

You’re a fake and a fraud.

The polls are down

Sorry it had to be this way, Calvin.
