Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 05, 2010

Impeccable logic.

Good morning Marg! Good morning Fran and Kizzzy! Good Morning L’Wolf!

I actually know someone who did this when they were a kid.

The problem is Mom knows all, hears all & sees all!

Good Morning, Marg, Mike, & ♠Lonewolf♠!

Rationale LOL

Morning, Grog!

thebird55

So right!!!

It’s better not to rely on she wouldn’t find it out!

I like your thought process, Calvin! LOL

Good Morning, Mike, Grog, Marg and all.

you are innocent until you get caught…

“if we don’t tell her then she won’t notice it’s been moved.”

Good luck boys!!

Seems exactly the thoughts of my boys…

KabBuch: Loved the fireworks yesterday!

From yesterday’s story and those who were concerned, it was a long time ago when the drinking age was 18 so getting into a bar at 16 wasn’t a big deal. We all went out as a group and we knew the couple places that would wave us in without carding us at the door. We always stayed together in our group with both guys and girls and we always left together as a group.

Calvin’s logic pretty much goes along with my son’s at that age. If he broke something I’d find it rolled up in his clothes in the bottom of his closet. If he spilled something I’d find the furniture moved on top of it. My granddaughter at 3 if I notice something moved or hidden she’ll say, “Don’t look!” and pushes me away. I then have to play, “Well do we need a papertowel, dustpan, glue, or the vacuum?” After that she’ll tell me to go in another room and not look while she busily cleans things up.

I wonder how they’ll get their actual, eventual clubhouse in the tree. I’ve quite forgotten.

To expect a stuffed tiger to push a car is really pushing it! Or is it…?

At least his conscience is putting up a fight.

Don’t do it Calvin……

yes calvin u can do it :-) go ahead.. Mom wont find out..

Good morning to all! Have a great week! How many of us have these same battles with our consciences? How many of us listen? I hope mom set the parking brake!

Make Hobbs move it

I believe that’s what Nixon said about congress

just love the way calvin thinks!!!!

Morning, Mike and Loki.

As thebird55 said ….. Impeccable logic

“It’s easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.”

Grace Hopper

You need to put it in neutral, jump out, push it into the drive, and watch it roll into traffic.

Heck, we always just took the keys and parked it in the driveway……after going around the block of course.

BREWWITCH You stole my line. Then again it’s easiest not to get caught. Poor Calvin need a little brother to blame things on.

Happy Birthday, Bill Watterson.

sounds like GW Bush’s staff, “don’t tell him anything that might make him upset or confuse him.” That was the SOP for that WH.

Now we have a President, that was elected with the right hating and lying about him, and he’s wasting our time trying to get them to play nice.

I think the comics are the way to go.

That 4th panel let me know who Calvin became when he was grown—-my first husband!

Dino your welcome. Come on now Calvin your’ not strong enough for one to push the car and two the garage will get too hot. Best to find a tree and build your own club house.

Lewreader and brewwitch, You both stole Superfrog’s line (slightly paraphrased) from two days ago. :o) Are you playing “What’s My Line?”

thebird55 said, “Impeccable logic.” Whose logic, Calvin’s or Hobbes’? Actually, we know who is more impeccable than anyone else, don’t we?

yeah, only crime is being caught, eh, calvin?

he is destined to be the leader of our nation with logic like that.

Yea!! I’ve been waiting and waiting for this one! This is the very first C&H that I read and I was hooked from there on out!!! LOVE C&H!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least the car’s a lame 80’s Honda Civic.

Moms are uncanny. My best friend’s mom was stone deaf and we STILL couldn’t get away with much.

Lewreader, blaming the little brother doesn’t always work. My sister smashed the car into the garage when she was babysitting and blamed my little brother. Of course if he wasn’t 2 at the time it might have worked?

As a mom I can honestly say there are some things I would rather not know, well maybe.

Calvin, Mom keeps finding out about “these things” because you’re not good enough at covering them up! It’s tough being an only child, huh? There’s no one else to blame all the bad things on!!!!!

he has hobbes to blame!

Hobbes you are going to get blamed for this maybe.

never underestimate a the great powerful 6 year old CALVIN

“It’s easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.”

Grace Hopper

I agree–only I suspect religious and monks were using that line long before someone caught Grace Hopper using it.

Probably something like: “Est facillimus sciscitor misericordiam quam permissionem.”

Visiting with my dad before he passed on 30 years ago, I was amazed at the things he knew we did that my brother and I though we had kept totally secret and had gotten away with. Those conversations are some of my most pleasant and funny memories. Little did we know he was watching over us and letting us learn by experience after he had told us not to do a particular thing. Of course, he made sure we didn’t hurt ourselves too bad! LOL

@bmonk: And quite likely, parents had Calvins long before now as well…

Antiquis temporibus, nati tibi similes in rupibus ventosissimis exponebantur ad necem - In the good old days, children like you were left to perish on windswept crags

That’s logical. Why should she notice the car out of the garage?

Happy Birthday to Bill Watterson. You have been given us the presents of Calvin and Hobbes everyday. Our present to you is We wish you the very best of health and happiness!

Mom’s gonna miss the car in the driveway?

Looks like his mum will have to buy a new car … perhaps one with a handbrake in it!

Thanks for reminding that it is Bill’s birthday. Happy birthday genius!!
