Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 02, 2022

Calvin’s mistake is that he didn’t change his clothes.

“Kahlveen ees thee one weeth thee bad acceent!”

So Freudian.

Keep looking, Mom, he has to be somewhere in the house.

You’re about to find out, “Mister”!!

“’E is zee one with zee hot backside, no?” Translation by Constable Crabtree, ’Allo, ’Allo

I’ll give him points for trying… but come on Calvin, really?

Mom looks like she might impose capital punishment

Is he the little one who isn’t around?

I can almost hear Calvin doing a Groucho Marx voice: “I once dreamed I was being chased by a tiger in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas, I couldn’t figure out.”

LLOL! KAHLVEEN is still wearing his April Fool Nose Glasses!!

Just don’t say the magic word, Calvin…otherwise, more than a duck will appear!

How gullible does “Kahlveen” think his mother is?

Somedays Calvin’s future has the possibility of a very short timeline.

Calvin? Who ees Calvin? I am Guy Incognito.

A better disguise, for some, is to cut off your hair (or beard if you have one). For some reason a radical change in hair makes us unrecognizable to most people.

I think I’d start attacking those bugs before they spread all over the house, and then worry about getting onto the kid later.

I love his mother´s mad faces.

nice try kid….

Beware the wrath of mom.

Yo Calvin, where are the burner phones?!

Le Bwaw, le haw, le haw! Zee Kahlveen ees a clever Waloon, no?

LOL. If one of my kids had tried that I would have have been laughing for the rest of the day.

This is the most ridiculous thing Mom had ever heard. (Also a VERY RARE pop culture refer from Watterson.)

You’ll read about him in tomorrow’s obituaries…

Brings back an ancient memory. We kids were cutting through a corner lot, and the lady who lived there yelled at us (a lot). When we had to go back that way, we switched coats with each other, so she wouldn’t recognize us.

I swear, it was my alter ego Clumsy Man.

Nivlac! Where have you been?

Whoa! Where is Calvin today?

I remember when that was used as the trope image for the TV Tropes “Paper Thin Disguise” webpage. Such a classic example!

Watterson’s unsuccessful attempt at a spinoff comic, Klausen and Hobbes.

Jacque Cous Calvin.

Calvin brings back the accent for a call to the library later on. Stay tuned.

“Now if you’ll excuse me Ma’am, I musta get back to ze painting”

If only it could be that simple.

Oh come on, Mom, laugh. It’s funny

KAHLVEEN IS THE POSTER CHILD FOR BIRTH CONTROL!! Notice that he doesn’t have any brothers or sisters!

One thing I’ve learned and try to tell people….give up buying and trying to have nice things like furniture, lamps, etc while you have little ones growing up. They WILL be destroyed.

I love Kählveen & Hobbes…

Monster kid!

Shame Calvin doesn’t have a brother or sister to blame it on.

Twist: that really isn’t Calvin.
