This is why I hide the dart guns in my house
Bojan_Sh said, 3 months ago

Maybe he will be in trouble again, but mom asked him to wake up dad. I qoute: “By popular request.”
This time at least Calvin could have a real excuse.

Dad you need to install a lock on your bedroom door.
cabrobst said, 3 months ago

Calvin’s dad will do what I did.
Reach up an arm, pull the kid down under, and pretend to go back to sleep while they squirm.
It only happens once.
Lewreader said, 3 months ago

locks are good. Shackles are better

Dad is sleeping so unsuspecting, if he knows…….
FishStix said, 3 months ago

Looking for sentient life, Cal!? Keep looking - ol’ dad is sound asleep and doesn’t qualify!
madampresiden12 said, 3 months ago

I think that dad may be awake After all, how long can a six year child be standing on you and you not wake up? This is going to be a special moment between Calvin and Dad. Dad’s not all bad.

I remember this cartoon giving me nightmares when it first came out. Just like one referring to Kafka. Excellent work!!!

Spaceman Spiff explores the outer reaches of the universe… by popular request. But even then he’s concocting trouble!

jtpozenel said, 3 months ago

I hope that blast of hot air is just coming from his nose.
grazer said, 3 months ago

Today’s comic is a classic example of why Calvin & Hobbes still rules the comic world.

Thanks a million Bill Watterson wherever you are.

The old saying “Never Wake a Sleeping Bear” applies to dads too…
Furienna said, 3 months ago

Jtpozenel: I wonder about that hot air too. But I suspect, that it doesn’t come from Dad’s nose, but from another part of his body.

Dunno what’s worse: getting hit by a so called “death ray blaster” or being awakened by a trumpet (what Calvin does in another strip)LOL

Can you vote more than once for a cartoon?
Richard said, 3 months ago

Calvin is toast.
yyyguy said, 3 months ago

i’d vote, but couldn’t possibly narrow it down to 5 strips, so i won’t bother to try. i wouldn’t wnat to slight any of them.
Ladywolf17 said, 3 months ago

Pibgorn - Just because I’m well liked there.
Big Top - It’s just cool to hang out there.
Calvin and Hobbes - It inspires my imagination.
Garfield - What’s not to like?
C’ est La Vie - What ! I’m a girl and I just like the comic strip.
Johanan Rakkav said, 3 months ago

What five strips I like best depends on which five are the best for that particular day.

The ones I don’t like at all, on the other hand…
