Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 04, 2020

Stupendous Man, the proactive crime fighter.

Makes me wonder already how Lois Lane isn’t able to differentiate Clark Kent’s voice and Superman’s voice on the phone… also Jim Gordon with Bruce Wayne’s and Batman’s voices on the phone.

No Calvin. You’re just a rookie.

Don’t worry Calvin, superheroes still get by with that secret identity stuff because everyone else is too dumb to put two and two together. All Superman does is ditch his glasses, and yet nobody knows he’s Clark Kent.

Calvin doesn’t get it yet…you’re supposed to call the police commissioner to find out if there’s any crime going on…

Stupendous Man could call Principal Spittle to find out what crimes have been committed, but his alter-ego Calvin already knows about those.

You don’t need to wear a mask when you’re on the phone!

What happened to dad’s ‘anything for a giggle’ attitude?

Stupidous Man strikes again!

One of the first rules of secret identities is to keep them secret.

I totally agree with Calvin. Though ‘Anonymus’ seems to have made a good effort. The Guy Fox mask seems to do the trick.

Kitchen wall phone. I miss those and real typewriters.

….“there may be a crime to report when I get my hands on you young man!” ;o{

Not as hard as it is getting used to a superhero saying “phooey”.

Meanwhile, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe….

Calvin, er…Stupe, you need to plan what to say BEFORE you dial! It’s the first rule in the Book of Stupendity. :D

Yes – I do have one crime to report – my paycheck!

I blew my secret identity years ago.

He brought his costume to school? How long until he realizes that it’s fooling nobody?

Shoot down again

Hard to be a crime fighter when you ONLY know one phone number! *grin*

Calvin must really be bored if he’s calling Dad as ‘Stupendous Man’. Is Hobbes napping right now?

We have gone through these fancy ideas during lockdown. Didn’t work though. But Calvin is a genius.
