Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 31, 2008

She’s secretly trying to get rid of him….

Ahh…I knew Calvin was missing something. A compass.

hmmmm maybe she is giving them wrong directions intentionally evil mom

I threatened to leave once when I was little…was going to live with my bio dad…my mom helped me pack my bag…lol

Me and my gf were going to run away a bunch of times. We were going to Disneyland. We would get on our bikes and start riding. Problem is we weren’t allowed to cross the street or go past a certain point on the block cuz there was no sidewalk. So we had to turn around and go back home. :(

We were 6.

I want that helmet, I’d pick all the chicks up with that baby

Her motherly instincts got ahold of her and she just had to point him the right direction.

LOVE the helmet

good luck calvin

Looks like a Spaceman Spiff helmet to me……

hcaulfield, First time I’ve thought about Holden C. in many years. Hope Calvin doesn’t go down that path!

I love it! My wife did the same thing with my 8 year old (he was on his little bike). A few minutes later, She caught up with him (driving the car), told him what was for dinner just in case, and left him again. 15 minutes later he was back ready for dinner!

Spaceman Spiff doesn’t wear a helmet, see?

Its not a helmet, its a fur-lined hat with ear flaps and he’s wearing ear muffs. He is going to the Yukon after all.

Love the quotation marks on “Mom”!

Er, a note to whomever does the tags: it’s spelled “secede,” not “seceed.”

AllensBrain: I didn’t notice the quotation marks. Nice catch! That’s the best line in the strip.

suuuupppppppeeeeeeerrrrrbbbbbb. gosh y didnt i did this whn i was kid??

Calvin and Hobbes walked on wrong path and suddenly, his mother stopped them and told them to go another way which was their home. (I tried to figure out how to make that sentence but I tried my best. Gosh!) :-\ Peace! :-)

goodkindacrazy : it is a helmet. He said he was bringing his helmet in a previous strip. It has a visor, ear-knobs and antenna.

Last time I tried to run away to the Yukon, my mom told me not to pee on the abomidable snowman. sheesh. as if I didn’t know that already!

Mothers know best!!!

“Mom”: Thank goodness! I thought I’d have to wait until he was eighteen!

one time my son wanted to run away and I told him he could as long as he didn’t leave the property-we had 6 acres-he and his sis worked and worked at getting his stuff over the barbed wire fence. After a while he came back in and said that it was raining, while the sun was shinning and not a cloud in the sky!

who ever said that they would take a sled yesterday, did you cheet and look ahead?

i thought this strip was pretty good. loved the face he makes when mom calls him back. pricless. sha.

sled is also toboggan.. this was on their packed list.

calvin going to yokoon

XD Amazing sense of direction. I want one, too. :3
