Yeah, they turned over a rock and found the grub and he was so cute they just HAD to take him home. He pupated two months later. That’s the story and he’s sticking to it.

Mom needs to have a talk with that man.

Bill Waterson a man after my heart… I love fuzzy logic and used to give it to my sons when they were little!
Wildmustang1262 said, 5 months ago

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.

This isn’t going to help dad in the latest polls.

and there you have it…the source of Calvin’s warped brain
Akenta said, 5 months ago

I love the dad’s eyes in the last panel. You know he’s thinking up something for the next time.
DreamScourge said, 5 months ago

See you again soon Ladywolf, you’ll be missed

Its a Fathers God given right to screw with the minds of his kids.

I thought Calvin was a blue-light special at Kmart.
Leonardeuler said, 5 months ago

C’mon Calvin, repair your transmogrifier and turn your dad in a larva. No confusing remarks anymore thereafter.

Like my dad used to say… “I teach you everything I know, and you don’t know nothin’.”
scbaguru said, 5 months ago

Dad: “Actually Calvin you were left on our doorstep by a band of gypsyes and we had to take you in.”
Well.. .That’s what my sister told me where I came from.
prasrinivara said, 5 months ago

Mum’s joked with him a few times too ladywolf17–such as the time when he asked what was in a soup (commenting that he hoped it wasn’t rice) and she answered “maggots” (it actually was a low-grade rice). Dad had a “eww-moment” from that….

Awww, Calvin should really get together with Lio sometime.
Doctor Toon said, 5 months ago

ladywolf17 - Don’t let the Trolls win. There are more nice people that post here than nasty ones. It’s simply that angry people need a victim, and you posted in the wrong place at the wrong time. I would far prefer it if the unhappy people were to quit posting.
green_engineer said, 5 months ago

Here here Doc! Totally agree. You’d think that being the most read comic here, that the C&H page should be more friendly.

Lighten up people! The next person to post a negative comment particularly at someone else’s expense owes the entire C&H community a drink each! And mine don’t come cheap…
Macushlalondra said, 5 months ago

Well Dad’s gotta have SOME fun! This always cracks me up. Score one for dad!

Mr. Britannica…hahaha!!

mjw22307 said, 5 months ago

If dad was telling the truth, then yesterday it really could have been a miniature Calvin in Calvin’s hands.
bald 716 said, 5 months ago

calvin’s lucky he is an only child, my brother told me that they found me in the vegetable garden at my uncles farm in pennsylvania
Silverpearl said, 5 months ago

Kids can think up enough weird stuff all by themselves. No need to add to the confusion.
Stede_Bonnet said, 5 months ago

Calvin is lucky to have a Dad who plays an active role in his education. Though this apparent “deception”, Dad has taught Calvin several important lessons such the value of questioning of authority, fact checking and thinking for oneself. (Not to mention the biology of the basic grub/larve lifecycle.)

As a result, Calvin is less likely to become yet another mindless drone who unquestioningly follows whatever talking head is preaching to them from their TV, radio or pulpit. One less drone for the hive. Thank you Dad!
nur atiqah diyana said, 5 months ago

dads gotta have his fun right. but my parents have never tried to deceive me about the way i was born but i was always confused about it. I mean thats the first real mystery for kids isnt it even for a kid like calvin. but i can see where calvin gets his balls from
cleokaya said, 5 months ago

No Calvin, you were actually a moment of indiscretion on a dark and stormy night.
pschearer said, 5 months ago

As funny as this is, I have to register disagreement with Dad. I wish I could find a less harsh way to say this but I think there is an underlying immorality to what Dad has done. There is plenty of time later in life for Calvin to learn that people can lie, but I think Dad owes the little monster…er, little darling a parental duty to tell him as much of the truth as his young mind can absorb. But it IS hilarious.
midiranger said, 5 months ago

oh boy, I see escalation coming. Love Dad’s expression. lol
Ladywolf17, come back soon

AMEN BROTHER!!

Sometimes a comic makes me smile. Other times I may chuckle. This one made me laugh out loud. Ya gotta love Bill Watterson’s warped sense of humor
musicnut1986 said, 5 months ago

I used to mess with my daughter’s mind like this. Now that she is in college and far from home I can’t pull these pranks on her any more (plus she’s too smart to fall for them now).

How I miss those days. Calvin’s dad is lucky that Calvin always remained 6 years old and usually fell for his pranks.
Vince LoGreco said, 5 months ago

I look up to Calvin’s father and hope to be like him when I have kids!!
JonD17 said, 5 months ago

interesting thing about Ladywolf and Wolfbyte, be they fraudulent, or be they real, there was a lesson being taught to many here. Unfortunately many did not see that lesson. ladywolf and wolfbyte come back and finish the work you have started please.
anobium625 said, 5 months ago

You can’t warp Calvin. He is a character in a comic strip.

“I thought Calvin was a blue-light special at Kmart.”

The problem I have with baby sales at the stores is that they never tell you what the price for a baby is…
grazer said, 5 months ago

Today’s comic has shocked me to the core. I need to confront my parents.
Comic-Nut said, 5 months ago

Oh Calvin… start working on some way to get even with Dad now. You always work on Susie and Rosalind. Now start working on Dad … beyond taking polls.
N7326 Foxtrot said, 5 months ago

Nobody could really make this stuff. Is Wattersman recalling his own childhood, or did he have a child like Calvin? Shiver the thought that there iis a REAL Calvin out there some where.
Patcharchman said, 5 months ago

I have known women that have a hairstyle like Suzi just to get a mans’s attention who likes to read Calvin and Hobbes comic strips.

Shameless. After a hot shower I guees it would take a while for a body to cool down, as it would be kind of worm for a while.
wolfbyte36 said, 5 months ago

No matter how many times I read Calvin and Hobbes it always cracks me up.

Ladywolf will return when she is ready too. She just wants to cool off her temper. Anger after all solves nothing.
Wildmustang1262 said, 5 months ago

Wofbyte36 and Ladywolf17, you both are always welcome to this comic strips and comments. You guys can say anything on the comments. Don’t have to say about silly personal or negative issues, just talk about the comic strips only. Have a great pleasant day! :-)
Carmy said, 5 months ago

My older siblings used to tell me that they found me in a trash can in Mexico.. and I believed them. WAAAAA!!

wolfbyte, thanks for the info. I hope ladywolf cools off soon and comes back. She is a comic lover like the rest of us and she did not deserve all the negative comments.
bmonk said, 5 months ago

Yes, I agree about the last several posts. Anger, especially overboard anger about little things, says more about the one flying off the handle than about the one bearing the brunt of the bile.
grammahotsho said, 5 months ago

The best job I ever had was test pilot in a broom factory. Flying off the handle was not approved by OSHA. Ignore the ignorant comments. They don’t have to read what you say. Come on folks, give it a rest.

My friends told their kids that an eagle pooped them on a stump. None of them are damaged merchandise and they don’t smell bad either!
