Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 20, 2024

The many faces of Calvin.

Big Nate has a comic strip today also taking pictures, is it picture day or something?

Face it, you wanted kids

All family memories are wonderful. Though, some are more so than others.

Why do they even bother??

Perhaps the pictures will remind you of how much you wanted a child and how happy you were when he was born.

Kodak Moments or wanted posters.

Look! Calvin has a “duck lips” shot YEARS before any Kardashian!

Let me guess, school photo day!

I wonder which one will end up getting frozen in place…

Just keep them for when Calvin is older and brings home girlfriends.

These photos will serve as a reminder as to why Calvin will remain an only child.

That kid needs a good whipping.

For those who still no set profile peecture on Go Comics, here is so many cool profile peectures for ya.

Our youngest daughter did something similar on photo day. When she was asked hy she didn’t smile, she told us she didn’t feel like it. Smiling would have been less taxing than grimaces.

I’ll take 50 wallet.

Why is it so hard to smile normally for the camera?

Just be sure to show them to his six year old some day.

They’re a great reminder to use birth control.

…….that how emojis began!!!!

They wasted a whole role of film on these faces.

I did and still do detest having my picture taken. But that said, Had I behaved like that, I’d have earned myself a sore back side from my parents.

Reminds me of Ringo when they photographed him for A Hard Days Night

And that’s just his bath night reaction.

Both of Calvin’s parents, hiding it from the other, had proceedures to keep from having more children.

Dad will take those pictures to work. What better way to remember why he is at work and why he is willing to work overtime! Besides it builds character.

I always hated that phase where the kids insisted on making faces or movements for every single picture. It was a chore to get them to sit still for the annual family photo.

I would love to see a strip of how Calvin grew up. Lol

Calvin does certain things well.

but ya gotta credit his creativity

The first one is the most reasonable one tho

The parents of Calvin are dum-dums! What did you expect from a 6yo? He’s a kid and does kid stuff!

Save them! They can be used later on…show them to his first girlfriend…Post them online…Endless possibilities…!

Blackmail pictures

I would love to see a Strip with Calvin as an Adult with a son, Calvin Jr.

13 School Picture samples? That was one very patient photographer…

I think I can do all of those faces except for the third from the left on the bottom row.

This was a work of art.

Reminds me of “In Character” in VANITY FAIR magazine, where they’d photograph a celebrity actor making different expressions based on characters they’re playing…

I wonder did Bill practice these faces in the mirror first before putting them to ink?
