Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 15, 2019

Hobbes, you spent that extra half hour in the bathroom and you still didn’t get a goodnight kiss.

Calvin, was all that “fun” worth it? Your parents are going to see red when they find out what you’ve done and then you’ll really be in for it.

And yet, after all that fear, he’d do it all again in half a heartbeat.

Well, time for Rosalyn to rewrite her test notes from scratch.

Score: Rosalyn – 1 …. Calvin – 0

I gotcha, ya little varmint!

little coward

Dad is going to have to work overtime to pay for this stunt Calvin.

If he had really bowled the notes, then the stuff would hit the fan. As it is, this can remain just between the two of them.

Better luck next time, Calvin…if there is one.

Calvin’s facial expressions are marvelous. What a great artist!

You can look forward to a rude awakening tomorrow too, Calvin.

Calvin’s the poster child for “Spare the rod, spoil the child”.

Well, you had her going for a few minutes, Calvin! That’s the best you’ve done so far!

I had a feeling that is what was happening.

It isn’t Rosalyn you should worry about killing you, Calvin-it’s your parents that you should worry about!

Excellent, expressive artwork today.

hahahaha!!!! way to go Roslyn!!

Seriously, who puts their kid to bed at 6:30 anyway?

If Calvin was as rotten as some think, the school notes would have been flushed for the hell of it.

Rosalyn’s methodology works for me. My children are more agile than me and the ten year old is faster but I’m still smarter and sneakier.

Rosalyn’s expression in panel 3 is fabulous

Rosalyn wins again. don’t worry Calvin—the bed is at least soft.

He’s lucky. Roslyn could have exacted a painful payback. She’s a tough young woman.

I remember reading this arc. It was 1989, but seems like just last month.

Two words: Duct Tape.

did gocomics change the format of the page? The comics are finally big enough for me to read

Calvin, I see that you did survive – in the gulag, but alive – so you must not have damaged her notes! I think Hobbes should get the credit!

Dennis the Menace has a similar theme today, though without the evil. Calvin is the opposite of Dennis.

I believe I originally called that extra thirty minutes. Enjoy your “victory” Calvin.

I see Roslyn as a pioneer in the study of toxic masculinity.

Old age and stealth wins again.

That girl has C’s number!

Well, she didn’t kill him.

A skilled hunter has to be patient and quiet. Good job, Ros.

Now she will demand triple pay.

It’s cool how bigger and smarter wins.
