Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 06, 2009

Guilt can rip one apart.

I HEARD him say ‘Pass the binoculars’.

lol poor Calvin. Hi Marg.

the criminal would eventually confess when the collapse of psychological line.

And now the truth shall set you free Calvin.

After he cleans up the mess he just made, that is. ;)

Hi, Tabby!

Great shades of “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe.

Or maybe Crime and Punishment

The moment of truth is at hand.

I still can’t figure out why dad lent Calvin his binoculars, knowing Calvin’s track record. Maybe they were old ones and he was testing Calvin’s ability to keep his word.

Define “lent”.

Lent is a period of 40 days where one practices abstinence from some activity or pleasure. In Calvin’s case he may have to abstain from sitting for 40 days.

Also shades of “Hamlet” by William “Billy Bob Bubba” Shakespeare.

(I’ve long wanted to try that out on some hapless audience, just because I could.)

That’s my last comment for a week. Goin’ campin’ an’ fishin’ an’ chillin’. Y’all have a good time while I’m gone.

ha ha - good one, I also heard him say that.

Now another 24 hours before I can see how this plays out!

Can a 6 year old have cardiac arrest??

LOL..guilt can make a person completely paranoid

Paranoid, my foot. Didn’t you guys see dad’s knowing eyes? He knows, I tells ya. I didn’t mean to drop the glass! It was an accident, I swear!

Calvin,pass the peas please, Calvin, aren’t you hungry?

Way to keep your cool Calvin!!

hahahaha This comic strip is soooooooo funny. I have every book. I have a 4 year old son now and his middle name is Calvin because of this strip.

I gotta tell ya, he lives up to that middle name. UUGGGGGGGG! hahaha I just had to name him after a 6 year old that always gets into trouble. LOL nice goin’ mom!?!

A guilty conscience if I ever saw one.

You got that right Yukoner. I remember times like this from when I was a kid.

Poor Calvin, I know, how he must feel!

Probably dad wants pepper–but Calvin has become so afraid of being detected that he preponed the confession.

Baslim: Great paraphrase!

annelieseRN : you have all the books :0

Tabbylyn, welcome back, haven’t seen ya for a while. Yukoner, have a great vacation, ya going fishing with Alaska’s most famous?……… LOL

Good man Calvin. Just yank off that band-aid. There is no honor in “taking the 5th.”

Great strip. Calvin finally cracks. Love all your comments, particularly about Calvin abstaining from sitting for 40 days!

Calvin must have sneezed when standing over the broken binoculars…

Calvin’s conscience will be cleared after he tells the truth about breaking his Daddy’s binoculars.

vibjyor said, about 10 hours ago I HEARD him say ‘Pass the binoculars’.

Did Calvin’s father say that? He just asked Calvin to pass the salt or pepper.

he can’t take the pressure!

Once in my life I had no money at home and to cook for three children. When we should not die all, the only way to earn money, which opened, was to play organ in our church. I didn’t ever know to do it and I sweated the same way like Calvin! I played and I got so much money, that I was able to cook for my children for several days! Now we are alive till today!

A tender conscience is painful! Glad my parents reared me with one. It keeps you in good standing with yourself!

Today’s lesson is that the truth shall set you free…

Thanks for sharing your sweat. Very touching.

First anger, then fear and then BOOM, full confession. Calvin has great talents.

Parent’s awareness notwithstanding penetrates Calvin’s kaleidescope of calamity.

@ bleepingdeadalien: and the freedom from guilt too ……….

The “Imp of Perverse” strikes again!

Since you made a premature confession…prepare for the inevitable tongue-lashing (which you preponed to tomorrow’s strip from 2-days-hence) Calvin.

“The truth shall make ye fret.” Terry Pratchett

la culpa!!! O_o

A guilty conscience will do terrible things to a 6 year old who has Hobbes for a friend. Calvin will have to tell the truth soon, It will be worth waiting for

Dude needs to work on his poker face big time.

Villians!” he shrieked, “Dissemble no more! I admit the deed! – tear up the planks! – here, here! – it is the crumbling of his hideous binoculars!”

This has been another exciting excerpt from The Tell Tale Binoculars.

grazer: Can a 6 year old have cardiac arrest??

Im not sure but it looks like ccalvin is about to have one either way - i mean this 6yr old seems like he can do anything!

Your guilty conscious is kreeping up on you Calvin
