Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 28, 2017

Let’s be honest, Mom was just as happy not having Calvin pester her.

Try 4-D.

I wonder if Calvin’s read “Flatland” by Edwin Abbott Abbott.

2-D only effective when others are plumbing or not looking

Reminds me of the “Alvino Ray” used by Cassandra in one of the last season Batman episodes which took the 3rd dimension away leaving you a 2D still alive but you cannot move the way Calvin did. (They had no chance of showing it back then in 1969.)

http://www.oocities.org/area51/Chamber/2517/arg/alvinoraygun2009.html The Alvino Ray Gun ~ Batgirl and the boys were subjected to by Dr. Cassandra was going to be called the “Ronald Ray Gun,” until the censors objected to naming a weapon after the Governor of California! So, instead, the gun was named after American swing era musician Alvin McBurney, better known by his stage name of Alvino Rey.

My Dad wrote the book on “handy expletives” to use on a home repair job. The only words in knew in Polish, Russian and Ukrainian can’t be repeated here but were repeated around our house. We just thought it was gibberish.

And I’m back in my freshman year of college. My writing prof asked us to write about a personal problem. I had so many, I couldn’t imagine laying one out for strangers to read. My roommate suggested I write about a person who was 2-D. My character ends up living in an art museum, in his favourite painting: “The Last Supper.” As he says in the final line of the essay, “At least they feed me.”

Will Dad do it all afternoon?

The right tools, the phone and the refrigerator magnet with my plumber’s number.

As Dad has aptly demonstrated, one can do plumbing without the expletives. Handy to know.

I’m replacing the drain pop-up valve on the bathroom sink today. My instruction aren’t nearly that good.

The Doctor banished “The Boneless” back to their own dimension after they shrank the TARDIS. Too bad Dad can’t do the same thing to Calvin.

To get under a sink to work, you need more than 4 dimensions.

In the first Calvin panel, I know that’s Calvin’s ear bent forward to suggest 2D, but the pointer from the speech balloon suggests a curve which make’s Calvin’s ear look like… a… well, let’s just say it looks like he is being visited by a white Janet Jackson.

After several DIY plumbing experiences I concluded that plumbers do not get paid enough.

Did Hobbes go one dimensional?

When I was a kid, thought Calvin was hiding behind a corner

Doesn’t Calvin realize life is impossible in 2D? You can’t have an object with more than a single opening in it that still retains structural integrity.
