Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 10, 2009

Oh no, not wash his hair?!?

Mom ought to climb right into the tub with Calvin. She looks pretty soaked. Calvin, it would indeed be a joy to have a son with such an imagination, Oh, heh, heh, and a wife who would deal with him. Me, no, I’m to busy. Oh dear, Calvin is calling. Oh dear!

Ah yes…the never popular, dreaded saturday night bath. Oh, the horror, the horror!

LOL, the last panel. Mom’s more wet that Calvin!

Wow! Looks like both mom and Calvin are washed clean,+ does this mean that mom and dad are going out, which also means that Rosalyn babysits again. Uh oh! Calvin this could be a long night.

Happy Mothers Day to all you mothers out there.

Happy Mothers day to all moms and grandmoms.

I’m sympathizing with Mom on this one. My two-year old gives me the same treatment when it comes to washing hair.

This is exactly why my mom never made me take a bath when I was a kid.

Thanks and Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!

Thanks for mothersdaywishes. I have three suns and one grandchild and I like the wishes! Thanks!

My son just wants to know why… why daddy why

What a wet and vile imagination Calvin has!

Giving Calvin a bath is like giving a cat a bath. Thrash, squirm, yammermeow that you’re being murdered! But after the bath is over and the cat is dry it preens like a queen.

Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen, nobody knows but Jesus….

Been there, done that. Thanks for the wishes. I’m now a Greatgrandmother!! Love to all Mothers and Fathers.

Sigh.

I can never take Spaceman Spiff without covering the last panel so that I don’t see what is really going on until I get there.

Uh, Calvin got stingy in his eyes. hee hee heeee…

I smell B.O. Is that you grazer? LOL

WARNING! Inappropriate comment coming WARNING! Inappropriate comment coming. Everyone knows the way you wash their hair is to hold their head under the water. This has been another inappropriate comment from yours truly. We now return you to your regular appropriate and funny comments.

Tsk tsk, Mom forgot to get the “no tears” shampoo.

Why give a cat a bath? They keep themselves clean.

Gee, and we wasted all that time waterboarding terror suspects.

Probably. Grew up taking our weekly baths in a few inches of warmish water in a galvinized wash tub. Parents first, kids last.

Count your blessings Calvin.

Now, this takes me back to days when the kids were young, and we had two dogs running around the house.

My mom had this problem times 4 or 5, several times over the years. So she took the easy way out: got us all in the back yard and hosed us down every three or four weeks.

Not really!

I have heard that to wash a kid’s hair, you should tilt their head backwards, so that when you rinse, the water doesn’t go into their face. (Implying that therefore the soap won’t get in their eyes.)

Salute to Mom! Happy Mothers Day!

Bathtime Fun

I love the way he portrays the mind of a a child so true to form.

Reminds me of Douglas Adams. “Uglier things have been spotted in the universe, but not by reliable witnesses. To see something uglier than a Vogon ship, you would have to go inside it and look at a Vogon. However, if you are smart this is exactly what you will not do.”
