He may NOT be flushing those notes. Sounds like something I would have done when I was (is?) young. Flush the toilet but keep the notes. Would scare the poop out of the babysitter but keep my behind un-spanked!
Flushing the toilet while keeping the notes intact won’t save Calvin from the wrath of his parents - not if I know his parents. Nor should it do so. This is simply being cruel and that kind of thing shouldn’t be tolerated from a kid - not unless you want the kid to grow into a cruel adult.
“a more humble attitude” – such a good suggestion Calvin. I love it!!! Temper, Temper!! Again, Rosalyn deserves every bit of this – call him a few more names Roz!! Pay her back 1 page at a time Cal!!
I love this.
Pretend I was writing this I would have Mom and Dad come home early because Mom had a headache then 3 on one side of the door 2 on the other side .
Calvin would have to negotiate safe passage to a place faraway
Comments today are mild compared to yesterday’s. Wish someone would read my comment yesterday and tell me what all the vitriol was about. Lawyers and suits, and then after mine it got worse. And it was just a funny, cute Sunday comic!
Even though her notes are gone, she still has Calvin stuck in the Bathrrom for the rest of the night. Sounds like a fair compromise plus the extra pay she is sure to get from mom and Dad
don’t fall for it rosalyn,pretend that you have another copy of your notes,when he knows that you don’t care he will give them back,I forgot that you’re dealing with a demon.
It’s all a mind game! I teased my Mom with her bunny slippers that way one time when I was a teenager. I was trying to get her to let me go out somewhere with my friends. I came out with the fur slightly damp from the sink water and told her she saved them just in time. Poor thing, I had to confess quickly because I thought she was going to cry.

Careful Calvin, if you plug the toilet you’re in really deep sh’t.

Um, guys this is a comic strip and it wouldn’t be funny if Calvin wasn’t a little dork. I’m just sayin’.

You know Calvin- you never will ultimately win here… and the more you hold out here, the worse it’ll be… oh dear…

It’s a good thing for both that it wasn’t Rosalyn’s laptop, it always makes a mess trying to flush those

Hobbes has it good. He can participate in this scheme and never be punished. It is a win, win situation for him.

Well Calvin you wanted attention and your going to get attention. This is just priceless.
Bruce McKinney Premium Member about 14 years ago
Rosalyn, use some psychology. If you stop yelling, Calvin will become curious and open the door, and then you can take your revenge.
yakkafoobmog about 14 years ago
Yes, davidf42, the art work is simply superb! Sweet, oh so sweet revenge written all over Calvin’s face in the second panel…

Wiseguy411 about 14 years ago
Little does Calvin know, but likely Roslyn might, agreements entered into under duress are not binding.
Calvin should never open the door, and he should pray that the bathroom has a window and not a vent.

There’s a “statute of limitations” law that will allow him to come out of the bathroom without fear of prosecution. He’ll be about 13 then.

Laptops to a smart kid like Calvin would need a lot of backup to be of any use to Roz
