Of course not, he was busy mailing himself to Australia.
johnnydoc5 said, 7 months ago

No beating you to the first comment is there Marg. I have a question though, why is this the first time Rosalyn rings the doorbell AFTER Calvin ignored her?
cleokaya said, 7 months ago

Of course he didn’t let her in. What kind of ninny are you. You are dressed like you belong in some cult. Lose the bulky dress and remember that it’s better to be naked than to wear such a hideous outfit.
Gweedo Murray said, 7 months ago

What! He couldn’t get Garfield to mail him to Abu Dhabi?
Radelape said, 7 months ago

That is a hideous dress.. I love the spelling, Os Trlya :D

Is Calvin a little brother of Alexander and his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, both wanting to go to Australia.
LX013 said, 7 months ago

Hope Calvin and Hobbes will escape quickly enough!Quick, quick!
tbree said, 7 months ago

Rosalyn probably starts the clock even before she gets in the door….
Leonardeuler said, 7 months ago

“You didn’t even let her in ?!”
“Excuse me mom, I couldn’t reach at the doorhandle.”
Greeneyed Texan said, 7 months ago

MOM! You always said not to let strange people in the house! charlie: Is that your saying of the day on every strip you post?
emrmike said, 7 months ago

Ostrlya: Calvin you’re brllynt
Macushlalondra said, 7 months ago

Why would he let her in? Would you deliberately let in someone you couldn’t stand? Would you open the door willingly to the chicken pox?
Carmy said, 7 months ago

Calvin, now you got Rosalyn in a worse mood than she was already in.
Northwoodser said, 7 months ago

Closing the box on Calvin and the Hobbes might not be a bad idea. Are you watching Rosalyn?
prasrinivara said, 7 months ago

Rosalyn says: Ka-ching!

Have you noticed that in all the comics and TV cartoons, at one point or another, someone tries to mail themselves to Australia? Seems like Mr. Watterson could have been more creative than that.

It’s many people’s concept of far away. Of course, not if you live there. Patagonia or Tierra del Fuego pehaps?

Rosalyn is a mistress of the “slow burn…”

Greeneyedtxn, I was gonna ask charlie the same question.
calvindino said, 7 months ago

Anybody here reads P.G.Wodehouse ? Calvin’s fear reminds me of Bertie’s fear of his aunt Agatha.
TapiocaHead said, 7 months ago

Yeah, Calvin spells the same way he solves math problems. Use your Imagination!

Calvin’s mother’s dress looks too flashy Ugh! Why the earth did she wear that kind of dress? She should wear something elegant and chic instead of that flashy dress! And she looks too old for that dress to wear, too!
JohnJames said, 7 months ago

This comic is 15 years old. Perhaps her dress WAS considered elegant and chic back in those days.
JanCinVV said, 7 months ago

No, it was just as dowdy then.
primacyofreason said, 7 months ago

calvindino, it’s always nice to run into another Wodehouse fan. There is a parallel, isn’t there? And Bertie has actually run off to America to escape his Aunt Agatha, though not in a cardboard box.
pookid54 said, 7 months ago

Why would he let her in?
bald 716 said, 7 months ago

i hope the package gets there- calvin spelled australia wrong
calvindino said, 7 months ago

primacyofreason, it’s a pleasure. My favourites among Bertie’s escapades are “The great Sermon Handicap” and “The purity of the turf” in “The Inimitable Jeeves’. Pure, clean, unalloyed humour.
sprakash said, 7 months ago

Ostrlya - love the spelling!
bmonk said, 7 months ago

All you C&H aficionados, I just discovered one explanation for Calvin’s “Noodle Incident”! See this Free Fall: http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff200/fv00125.htm
HangingInThere said, 7 months ago

That dress print looks like a paisley print, couldn’t stand it then, still can’t. :-(
♠Lonewolf♠ said, 7 months ago

Bmonk, nice catch on Freefall.
prasrinivara said, 7 months ago

Excellent point Macush, and one that many mums seem to have difficulty grasping.

I can remember my mum asking me to give directions to a location (over phone) to someone whom I really didn’t want to talk to–when I specifically told her, I wasn’t going to give the directions (the caller could have used a Calgary City Street Map), she launched into a long spiel about “diplomacy” (another concept she didn’t understand–her idea of “diplomacy” matched that of Neville Chamberlain–and never even attempted to learn)!

oh lord you people are crazy you have no life
grazer said, 7 months ago

Welcome aboard, Michaela123!

:D
♠Lonewolf♠ said, 7 months ago

You are reading what we are writing. What does that tell you?
attyush said, 7 months ago

Calvin and Hobbes will fit right in the jungles of Madagascar with Alex and his band. Seriously hope he gets lost on his way. The adventure would be a lot more fun that way.
grazer said, 7 months ago

Calvin best think outside the box when it comes to Rosalyn.
Michaela123 said, 7 months ago

im being forced to read this for class
ldyhwkd said, 7 months ago

bmonk - thanks for the link. That’s awesome.
Radical-Knight said, 7 months ago

There’s no escape, Calvin. You are destined to face Rosalyn the Barracuda.

I don’t even want to ask why. That’s good.
jeffy44123 said, 7 months ago

I would like to see them shipped of to Australia.
grammahotsho said, 7 months ago

I didn’t get to read fun things for class :( The dress is is beyond hideous!
PaulAtreides said, 7 months ago

Calvins mom should put herself in a box to australia if she’s going to wear that.
Edwardthetedward said, 7 months ago

Funny! HA HA HA
Edwardthetedward said, 7 months ago

Funny! HA HA HA!!!
dennisballentine said, 7 months ago

Think about it. If I was Rosalyn….I would HOPE they didn’t let me in, then she could go home and avoid the obvious and impending terror that awaits her.
cloudcat625 said, 7 months ago

rshive: yeah, but if you’re in california or around there, australia isn’t that far off. Russia or China wound make more sense.
pouncingtiger said, 7 months ago

Why would Calvin let Roslyn in the house!
