Mom and Dad… if your son is playing board games by himself it means he has no one to play with, no friends nearby to do things with and you are both sitting and reading the paper instead of playing with him. If you want a normal, well adjusted child you need to interact with him. You got the Calvin you deserve based on your parenting.

Where was grown-up Calvin during the 2008 financial crisis?

You clearly didn’t teach him enough vocabulary then.

Haha, it’s like Calvin once said – “Sooner or later, all our games turn into calvinball.”

What a selective memory Dad has! Calvin learned those words at the last camping trip.

Au contraire, pops. Home is where you hang your head.

Hobbes caught Calvin robbing the bank, so he should just perform a citizen’s arrest and lock Calvin up (or try to)! That would be funny too!

Both of Calvin’s parents are reading the newspaper. Calvin’s dad appears to be reading the comics.

Not while you’ve been home, Calvin’s dad. He hasn’t heard them while you’ve been home.

Agreeing to let Calvin be the banker was the first mistake Hobbes made.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the parents played Monopoly with Calvin and Hobbes? Or at least tried to understand Calvin’s world.

My family plays almost like Calvin, except he would be sent to jail for getting caught. We also have squatters rights, bribes,

What’s weird is that Calvin once said he didn’t know any swear words.

Hobbes takes “Flipping Houses” to another level.

My sister and I used to rig the game so we started out on an equal footing. We could play for days.

I thought Calvin said he didn’t know any swear words? (The same applies to the “Scrabble” Sunday strip a year and a month prior to this one.)

I would love to play Monopoly with Hobbes. (At least for one time) ;)

Some really excellent artwork in this comic. Some of Bill’s best!

Calvin running in the background of the last panel is the most classic picture of cartooning in my opinion.

Making your own rules is good and everything, but I’d rather stick to manipulation.
