Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 20, 2014

Yes, they are.

Mom has big feet.

Then she’ll have to change her outfit.

The day of reckoning cometh, and thou look’st not for it. It shall go hard with thee.

Those aren’t feet, those are gun boats!

Now, now, folks. Let’s not go stepping on any toes, no matter how far they stick out.

Calvin has had the same problem as his mom previously:Click here: Calvin and Hobbes (April 24, 1986)Click here: Peanuts (August 4, 1959)Click here: Peanuts (August 18, 1974)Click here: Peanuts (August 15, 1988)

Nasty, nasty, Calvin.

Only ONE pair of shoes? Time to suspend a little disbelief, here…

Calvin and his pet tiger Hobbes are playing hide and seek while Calvin’s parents get ready to have dinner with Uncle Max.

Mom could borrow a pair of Dads shoes, but it looks like her feet are bigger than Dads, so she’ll have to ware her flip-flops.

We had a babysitter who hit my brothers She was only hired when I (the oldest) could not babysit. My parents didn’t believe it at first. The next time they hired her, my sister said she was running away because she didn’t want to get hit. Mom said she was crazy. The babysitter showed up and smacked my sister. Two of brothers jumped on the babysitter. They told my sister to call mom & dad. When my parents came home my brothers and sisters were visibly shaken and the babysitter ran out the door. My parents talked to her parents. I don’t think she ever babysat again. At least not for my family! I wonder what happened to her? Can’t even remember her name anymore….

Especially if that babysitter is Rosalyn!

He’ll fail in 5…4……3……..2……….1…….

Barefoot women are SO hot.

Hi MysteryCat. Yes, it does sound strange. Since there are no adults in Peanuts, Lucy sometimes plays a role that is sort of like a parent to Linus — relaying instructions from their mom, for example. In this case, it seems like Charles Schulz fell into that pattern, with Lucy talking the way that their mother normally would, by referring to “his dad” when talking about Linus’s father.

Hi rgcviper. In the earliest years of Peanuts, the adults would sometimes speak from “offstage.” Also, there was an early Sunday series with Lucy playing in a golf tournament with adults. Only the legs of the adults were shown.

this feels like a Rosalyn one…
