@suzleigh,It would have been even more humorous than it was, but asking for a trebuchet would have revealed his identity (as if he already hadn’t done so)!Besides, ‘planned obsolescence’ has made trebuchets out of vogue for hundreds of years! :o)
His comment also implies that EVERY caller or customer wants catapults for lobbing 50 pound gobs of snow on little girls. Go figure why that’s not the case.

I’m pretty sure those construction projects for kids at Lowe’s could help you build a catapult Calvin…
margueritem almost 13 years ago
They sell to contractors, Calvin. Perhaps if you were nice to a contractor…

Call Dill’s brothers. They are sure to know.

Could that be “Derkins Hardware” he called?

The Pentagon could help him.

They sell what grown-ups need & want, Calvin.
feverjr Premium Member almost 13 years ago
Try ACME for all your catapult needs.
suzleigh almost 13 years ago
Should have asked for a trebuchet.

Why not Prince Albert in a can?

He’s in the wrong comic strip if he’s looking for a catapult. Try Wizard of Id.

Call MacGyver, Calvin
brilligmimsy almost 13 years ago
Best bet for accuracy: a cruise missile with packed-snow warhead. A little pricey, though. Maybe Calvin has a rich, sympathetic uncle?
astar15 almost 13 years ago
I bet once he called Pepboys.

@hazardboy,Prince Albert in a can might be called a ‘quid’ pro quo for Susie!

Become a cub scout. Captapults are learned in Webeloes level.

Which shows the customer ISN’T always right.

Interesting use of “feminine” as opposed to “female”. Perhaps our Calvin is starting to mature (in a completely immature manner!)
Mike 17 almost 13 years ago
Maybe he should call Rush L.. He’s good at attacking small feminine targets

Calvin you can get the same res pounce if you want something fixed instead of buying a new one .

A big sling shot,get Hobbes to help you, but do not tell him its for Susie or it may be designed to shoot back wards.
redbaron1966 almost 13 years ago
BAE Systems could build something for Calvin, only problem is that Susie may have a contract in with Lockheed!

i suggest calling the winner of the Punkin Chunkin catapult division. Watch Discovery channel this fall.
DerkinsVanPelt218 almost 13 years ago
I bet Home Depot has the equipment for making a catapult.
khpage almost 13 years ago
They hang up on weird guys like you, Calvin. Better try another approach, your imagination is up to the task, no doubt…
Karaboo2 almost 13 years ago
Kids your age Calvin should be shopping at Catapults-R-Us, not the hardware store.

Go build a snow igloo and live in it with Hobbes.

He can borrow my snow trebuchet!
(Watch out, Ooooops!)
jmo328 almost 13 years ago
He hasn’t heard of a snow thrower/blower?
jmo328 almost 13 years ago
Ever hear of a snowblower/thrower?
avonsalis almost 13 years ago
Better let it go, Calvin.That woulda been a sure way to end up with your butt in a sling.

“Calvin & Hobbes” is just classic. ’Nuff said.
