Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 13, 2024

Obviously, Calvin would not do well if ever arrested and questioned about a crime…. LOL

The Noodle Incident rears its ugly head again

You’re implicating yourself Calvin. Shut up while you’re ahead.

What is happening with the late strips?

What I hope Ms. Wormwood said was “Mrs., you have a great kid, he’s just chaotic, that’s all.”

Busted!

Contempt before investigation!!!!

It was all the fault of the guy on the grassy knoll!

Ah yes, the enigmatic “Noodles Incident”.

Ah yes, the Noodle Incident. We’ll never know.

That’s using your noodle, Calvin.

Get a grip Calvin, you’re only making it worse!

This may be the first mention of the Noodle Incident.

Ahh! The old “Noodle Incident” again. I was so disappointed we never got the details on that, but knowing Calvin, it must have been EPIC!!!

All these years, and I never knew the Noodle Incident happened at school

No doubt about it … Watterson knew tRump as a boy, and based this strip on him. As is the boy, so grows the man…

The great noodle incident will live in infamy…

Uh oh.

The best defense is a brazen lie, just ask the orange lie-master.

As I have said before, there are TWO points in Calvin’s favour and they are both touched on in this strip. First of all, Calvin was not proven guilty despite his protests of innocence sounding more like evidence for the prosecution. Secondly, it seems to have been something more serious and memorable than the minor misdemeanours that Calvin is usually in trouble over.

Never volunteer information, Calvin.

You have a right to remain silent & it’s often the better option.

No, no. Let’s continue, shall we?

Wow! Calvin could have been on the debate stage on Tuesday! All he needs is a 6 foot long necktie.

I admit it. It was me. I was responsible for The Noodle Incident.

Guilt will out. Always

Classic fail

Oh-oh. Ya better run for president, Calvin.

Ah yes….the great, infamous noodle incident.

Calvin admitted guilt when he said, “nobody saw him do it.”

Classic politician, but that not what I meant, you misunderstood what I was saying.

ah, the infamous “noodle incident” that gets referenced every now and then

Calvin:

Just give a yes or no answer until you have all the charg…uhm…uh…facts. If a yes or no is not possible, keep your pie hole shut and let them spill the beans first.

It was Danae (Nonsequitor)

He works harder at avoiding schoolwork or chores than he would if he actually did the tasks. He tells so many lies, he can’t keep track. You can be imaginative and productive at the same time. Sound boring?

Wow! This encounter with mom will help Calvin build character! Right dad?

Good morning Bill, funny story, looks like an outline of trumps early years!

Quit while you’re ahead kid !

Nice reference to the tea cart incident.

This is why the defendant should never take the stand.

The first mention of the Noodle Incident back in 1990.

I did that to my neighbors’ adult daughter once. They were away visiting their other daughter and she was not allowed in the house. I caught her when I went to put the mail in and feed the cat. All I said to her was “You know you’re not supposed to be here,” and she went ballistic, grabbed the phone and offered to dial her sister’s number. I said, “that’s okay, I have it,” nothing else. Then I fed the cat and left.Five minutes after I got home the phone rang – I knew it was her parents. We all had a good laugh!

I have yet to see the strip concerning this famous incident

I didn’t do it! I wasn’t even there when I did it!

Calvin has great future as a politician

Guilt speaks loudly.

The “noodle incident” spawned a TV Tropes entry. You can easily find it online, but I caution you that the site is a time-sink rabbit-hole.

This is exactly the playbook of a particular political candidate today “What they said about me are lies and fake news blah blah blah” just as he lies at an unprecedented rate that would make a lie detector test machine tilt like an old pinball machine if one was strapped to him.

Oh, Calvin you are so busted and you have only your own mouth to blame!

Ahh. The famed “Noodle Incident”.

We are still till this day figuring out ‘the noodle incident’.

Now Calvin really does have to explain himself.

watterson is never going to tell us, is he.

Ha—love the Noodle Incident. Part of me wants to know exactly what happened, but I think more doesn’t.

Really fun one.
