Great shades of “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe.
corpuskevin said, 5 months ago

Or maybe Crime and Punishment
cleokaya said, 5 months ago

The moment of truth is at hand.

I still can’t figure out why dad lent Calvin his binoculars, knowing Calvin’s track record. Maybe they were old ones and he was testing Calvin’s ability to keep his word.
farren said, 5 months ago

Define “lent”.
Yukoner said, 5 months ago

Lent is a period of 40 days where one practices abstinence from some activity or pleasure. In Calvin’s case he may have to abstain from sitting for 40 days.
Johanan Rakkav said, 5 months ago

Also shades of “Hamlet” by William “Billy Bob Bubba” Shakespeare.

(I’ve long wanted to try that out on some hapless audience, just because I could.)
Yukoner said, 5 months ago

Poor Calvin, I know, how he must feel!
prasrinivara said, 5 months ago

Probably dad wants pepper–but Calvin has become so afraid of being detected that he preponed the confession.

Good man Calvin. Just yank off that band-aid. There is no honor in “taking the 5th.”
BC13 said, 5 months ago

Great strip. Calvin finally cracks. Love all your comments, particularly about Calvin abstaining from sitting for 40 days!
bmonk said, 5 months ago

Calvin must have sneezed when standing over the broken binoculars…
Wildmustang1262 said, 5 months ago

Calvin’s conscience will be cleared after he tells the truth about breaking his Daddy’s binoculars.

vibjyor said, about 10 hours ago
I HEARD him say ‘Pass the binoculars’.

Did Calvin’s father say that? He just asked Calvin to pass the salt or pepper.
butthole09 said, 5 months ago

he can’t take the pressure!
LX013 said, 5 months ago

Once in my life I had no money at home and to cook for three children. When we should not die all, the only way to earn money, which opened, was to play organ in our church. I didn’t ever know to do it and I sweated the same way like Calvin! I played and I got so much money, that I was able to cook for my children for several days! Now we are alive till today!
grammahotsho said, 5 months ago

A tender conscience is painful! Glad my parents reared me with one. It keeps you in good standing with yourself!
bleepingdeadalien said, 5 months ago

Today’s lesson is that the truth shall set you free…

Thanks for sharing your sweat. Very touching.

First anger, then fear and then BOOM, full confession.
Calvin has great talents.

Parent’s awareness notwithstanding penetrates Calvin’s kaleidescope of calamity.

@ bleepingdeadalien: and the freedom from guilt too ……….

The “Imp of Perverse” strikes again!
prasrinivara said, 5 months ago

Since you made a premature confession…prepare for the inevitable tongue-lashing (which you preponed to tomorrow’s strip from 2-days-hence) Calvin.

la culpa!!! O_o
ratlum said, 5 months ago

A guilty conscience will do terrible things to a 6 year old who has Hobbes for a friend. Calvin will have to tell the truth soon, It will be worth waiting for

Dude needs to work on his poker face big time.
BenjamintheRogue said, 5 months ago

Villians!” he shrieked, “Dissemble no more! I admit the deed! – tear up the planks! – here, here! – it is the crumbling of his hideous binoculars!”
