Calvin, you will be so grounded that you’ll think you’re part of an electrical circuit.

Hobbes ist there, it can’t be the end!
rayannina said, about 1 month ago

True, but Calvin will sure wish it was!
Margueritem said, about 1 month ago

LX013, Hobbes is in the tub behind Calvin. What time is it in Austria? It’s 10:42 PM here.

Go with the ‘flow’, Dad!

All that water is a big ‘turn off’ for Dad.

Calvin: “Cause you don’t love me, anymore”
It’s ‘curtains’ for Calvin.
Calvin’s face is “A Whiter Shade of Pale”

Calvin wants a bath! “There’s a first time for everything.”
A nice warm bath might relax everybody’s nerves.

He was going to fix the tub faucet next.

Hi Dad, what’s up?
rshive said, about 1 month ago

Just taking a shower Dad. How did all that water get here?
NoBrandName said, about 1 month ago

Well, if Dad had fixed that faucet like he was supposed to, then Calvin wouldn’t have had to try to fix it… so Dad can take away a lesson - Never put off until tomorrow what Calvin will decide to do for you today!
Devonshade said, about 1 month ago

Dad should buy Calvin his own set of basic tools, and teach Calvin some basic home maintenance. Thats how a responsible parent would handle this situation.
Macushlalondra said, about 1 month ago

Well Dad it could’ve been worse. The house is still standing instead of swimming.

Now they won’t have to wash the bathroom floor!
Bob said, about 1 month ago

Sure dad, it’s MY fault that you didn’t read the Bob Vila book I got you for Christmas!
Coffee-Turtle said, about 1 month ago

LOL!!! We knew it was coming, but like a train wreck about to happen, we just couldn’t turn away from it. :-D
BC13 said, about 1 month ago

And Calvin still has the nerve to smile.

I had a neighbor who asked me how to change a faucet. I told him to turn off the water and remove the faucet. He turned off the hot and cold water, then cut the pipe BELOW the valve where there was water pressure. Looked a lot like Calviin’s kitchen.

@BC13

That was a nervous smile, soon to be followed by a VERY nervous laugh.
Vonnegut said, about 1 month ago

“Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can’t help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.”

Looks like dad drew the short straw, but I bet it’s mom who’ll end up with mop & bucket detail.

Calvin has a cutfe inocent look on his face!
LX013 said, about 1 month ago

I think, it’s a laugh of despair! He thinks, the end of world is coming and so he makes a seldom grimace.
kab2rb said, about 1 month ago

Gee dad I was only trying to help can I help it if things went bad. Dad get a better bucket start dumping water down the drain not in the yard as you might splash water all over the house and the yard won’t see any water. Calvin I really didn’t need your type of help with this as you made things worse. Hope the floors don’t warp as the wall don’t go bad.
Richard said, about 1 month ago

In a Calvin proof house there would be a floor drain in every room.
BC13 said, about 1 month ago

In a Calvin-proof house, there would be no house - just the wide open space of the outdoors.
SQUIDBREAKER said, about 1 month ago

The end of the world? Good - It’s about time. I’m in shock and awe about the timing of this strip.
grazer said, about 1 month ago

No wonder dad got himself clipped.
voyageuse said, about 1 month ago

It’s all Hobbe’s fault. I bet he was still ticked and didn’t help Calvin bail water with the buckets.

Anyone else notice that the water level in the bathroom stayed the same even after Dad opened the door??
ratlum said, about 1 month ago

Plumbing might not be his future
Cavin try some painting you and Hobbes will not get so wet
algurka said, about 1 month ago

Comicguy250–yeah, I noticed that (A) dad was able to open the door despite the massive volume of water behind it (and none of it seeped under the door–what a great job of weatherstripping!), and (B), there should have been a torrential flood coming out of the bathroom, with a subsequent drop in water level, but since this is a comic strip, I allowed for the artistic license.

It’s amazing that Calvin has survived through previous episodes.
Nick V said, about 1 month ago

Oh, goody, now we get to see Michael an Satan fight it out while the planet goes through earthquakes and plagues and…

Oh, Calvin’s dad means it’s the end of CALVIN’S world. Gotcha.
benbrilling said, about 1 month ago

Bear in mind, Dad, a just-released study found that corporal punishment lowers a child’s IQ by several points. Oh, never mind, this is a rerun, they hadn’t discovered it back then.

Note that Hobbes appears to be in an in-between depiction of real and doll. Interesting. He’s usually clearly one or the other, depending on whether Calvin is alone with him.
lobkiller said, about 1 month ago

looks like cal is trying to morph into a charlie brown character. Maybe he was hoping Charles Schultz would rescue him…
