Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 01, 2013

Ya, ya, would be helpful!

That was not salesmanship.That was marksmanship,very different.

Sails- and seaman!

Might be better off working on his judgement.

Calvin should have water-ballooned Dad. He’s a real drip.

Refreshing! Like a spanking will be stimulating!

I want a son like Calvinnnnnnnnnnnnnn …………….. love u little brat!

Moms, in particular, are strictly NO GO! Even ifthey have a sense of humour. Calvin is lucky hecan lie on his backside….

But I see you have perfected your aim and you know your target(s) very well Calvin

@Calvin

Forget about your “Drip” of a Mom.

calvin should get a super soaker.

when she was younger, she would have love that.

He was trying to be thoughtful. That balloon was filled with love.

Cold, wet love.

Meanwhile. Concentrate on your next target. With such accuracy and a little more speed dad would be my first choice.Bombs away!

Take your politics somewhere else please, troll.

Some people are hard sells, Calvin. And they don’t like sales pitches being shoved down their throats.

It works better on Susie. She doesn’t send you to your room.

bhinkle & Jspine: Whether or not I agree with your political point of view is irrelevent, but politics isn’t appropriate in a comment for a comic strip unless the comic itself is political in nature (which Calvin is not). It only engenders hard feelings needlessly and denigrates your point of view. Save those comments for the op-ed page please. There’s a time and place for all purposes under heaven.

Hi Mom!

I understand that part of being a good salesman is knowing your customer.

I’d pounded his behind.

Yes, but it was fun for us to watch.

@Omnius: It must be a sad life when you’re so obsessed with one party that you can’t write a sentence without mentioning them.

Give the political crap a rest…

It worries me that Calvin’s parents never seem to show any love or caring for him. Or appreciate his intelligence and creative thinking.

I’m the type of parent who would engage in a water balloon fight. I’d have to be in a really bad mood not to.

For once, I think mom was wrong — she needs to work on her sense of humor!

@Taco Pie lover;

One doesn’t strike/hit a kid to raise ‘em right, but there are times the little hellions need their pants ’dusted’ just to get their attention.

If you look closely, you’ll notice that his hands are tied behind his back.

…And work on being more nicer to people.

Calvin in disgrace yet again…

Love the 3rd panel.

LOL xxx

“Mothers are like that….yeah, they are.”

Cute commercial. I could be wrong, but is that Annette Funicello?

Please, no trolling…

Please, don’t feed the troll…

Just imagine the fun we would get out Mom reaching beside here ,grabbing the water hose and giving Jr a real good water fight ?

that ’s good Job….

Love his face in panel 4.

shoulda yelled, “heads up!”

You are lucky to be alive Calvin. Then again this is funny but I would think differently if it was me.

At what point do we loose our child-like sense of humour?
