Hysterical laughter from the peanut gallery!

Calvin sure would be a lot of help if that actually was a disembodied hand attacking someone.

Where’s Hobbes?

Finally….Dad got him and he got him good.
tbree said, 3 months ago

So Calvin wanted a scary story huh? Well, he got what he deserved. LOL…..

That’s right up there with Clubfoot! “Stomp, drag!”

But I thought Calvin liked Hamster Huey.

Good one lol.

A dad’s revenge is sweet.
Puddleglum2 said, 3 months ago

Give Calvin’s father ‘a hand’ for his performance!

Is Calvin’s faint actually a feint (trick)?

It was really Calvin that ‘choked’ under pressure.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love. I John 4:18

Excellent, Dad!

Love is when the differences make no difference. Samuel 1:1

Puddleglum2, congrats, you are quite the pundit.
Lewreader said, 3 months ago

What, no flashlight under the chin?
iKomix said, 3 months ago

RIP, Calvin. Again.

Thank you, Sgt. Preston of the Yukon
…no pun(dit) intended, as they say.

Well done Dad!
BinaryWiener said, 3 months ago

Rakkav - Calvin does, I think this strip marked the first time he heard of Hamster Huey. Unfortunately for Dad, he’ll pay the price in years to come when Calvin continues to demand Hamster Huey at bedtime!
Johanan Rakkav said, 3 months ago

Ah. I was about to say so, but 1) wasn’t sure if this was his first time with Hamester Huey and 2) if so, didn’t want to spoil it for the newbies.

Thaaat was awesome.
vibjyor said, 3 months ago

Calvin, yesterday’s story was put you right to sleep but was slow motion. Today’s story was fast and action packed wasnt it ?
cymbol said, 3 months ago

TOO funny! Way to go Dad, get out of reading a real story, render the child unconscious.
Macushlalondra said, 3 months ago

I love it when Dad beats Calvin at his own game.
Sheila said, 3 months ago

So when Calvin wakes up in the middle of the night screaming “HE HANDS GOT ME!” (and he will) Does mom nudge dad and say “Your fault, you get this one) or does she kick him out of bed out right and onto the floor yelling “You did this!!!”

JonD17: I like your quote - although I know it is not from Samuel 1:1. I like it so much I tried to locate its source and ended up signing up for this GoComics so I can write to you….
Did you just make it up? It is rather profound.
jweb1510 said, 3 months ago

shewith5, if Dad’s smart, he doesn’t tell Mom how he got Calvin to fall asleep so quickly. Ignorance is bliss.

I guess the fruit doesn’t fall very far from the tree after all…

Dad has struck a magnificent blow for fathers worldwide.
Risinya said, 3 months ago

Lol. Poor Calvin went into shock. How much you want to bet that he’s gonna try and catch it when he wakes up?
EarlWash said, 3 months ago

Hey, dad, why didn’t I think of that 40 years ago!
CaptainColorado said, 3 months ago

This is one of my favorite eposides.
Reenster said, 3 months ago

This is dad’s payback for the bugle-in-the-ear a little while ago!
Hoosier50 said, 3 months ago

Classic Calvin!!
legaleagle48 said, 3 months ago

Of course, the only problem is that Dad can only pull this trick once. I think Calvin might catch on to a repeat performance!
somebodyshort said, 3 months ago

@ Watterson You have such a wonderful imagination. I wish you’d continued. I’m sure you read our comments and laugh.

Friar, Samuel is my best friend, mentor and all around very important person in my life. I got that quote from him; I cannot attest to its actual origin. A nd thank you for your response to it. You may be interested in our website; www.coloursofliving.com
Radical-Knight said, 3 months ago

And some people wonder why Calvin has such a horrific imagination and a stuffed tiger as an animated best friend.

Works for me.
pearlandpeach said, 3 months ago

YES! wonderful. LOL and all else that shows truly funny and great.

Agree with Radical-Knight

Todays strip is right up there with dads explanation of why there was no color before 1937(or thereabouts).
bleepingdeadalien said, 3 months ago

Dad’s one righteous guy…we all know Calvin had it comin’
jtpozenel said, 3 months ago

I loved that story when I was a child.
grammahotsho said, 3 months ago

We all know that Calvin is really a chip off the old block!
fencingfoil101 said, 3 months ago

Puddleglum….you’re such a nerd
tamsin said, 3 months ago

It’s all fun and stuff until Calvin comes to and in a panic…
Susan001 said, 3 months ago

Dad is more immature than Calvin.
Norman said, 3 months ago

Calvin’s underwear may require some serious cleaning, judging from the lower left panel!
Norman said, 3 months ago

Bed too for that matter.

Hey, Puddleglum, keep the bible quotes coming. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,and of love, and of a sound mind.”- 2 Timothy 1:7
