Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 11, 2019

Those pages aren’t water soluble. I’m thinking of the additional plumbing costs.

Really Calvin? Like the toilet hasn’t been clogged enough times?

The greatness continues

Even if the pages were salvaged, the pen ink thereon would run off.

A small flat head screwdriver will open that door, if it is a typical “privacy” lock.

Calvin thinks he’s flushed with success

Well Calvin, there goes your college tuition, right into the hands of Rosalyn because this is going to cost your parents big time.

Rosalyn, you had better take note!

He’s toast.

Oh, Calvin’s done it now!

They must be paying her a fortune to put up with that little monster.

Time to go into Calvin’s room, find something that looks valuable to him and proceed to “open negotiations”.

This will not end well . . .

He could just be flushing an empty bowl….

Neverhavingchildren, neverhavingchildren, neverhavingchildren……

Simple, lady – go to the phone and make like you’re calling the restaurant where his parents are…

Rosalyn’s mouth can really get big (last frame).

The toilet ate my homework.

When it’s Rosalyn, payback can be awesome to behold

And Calvin never thinks ahead. He IS going to have to come out of there sooner or later…

heycalvin !! just wait till youn get to the babysitters age!! oooooooo payback !!!! karma karma karma!!!!!

If he really did flush her homework (which I doubt), he’s gonna get flushed when Rosalyn finds that screwdriver. This is called do-it-yourself waterboarding.

Call Susie. She can waste him with a snowball through the window.

I’m surprised Hobbes hasn’t stepped in as his concience. I think he’s punking her.

Calvin’s grave won’t be any deeper now that he’s started. How true the saying that discretion is the better part of valor.

Yep. In the internet age, Calvin would be one of the most notorious of trolls…

She made the mistake of losing her cool. She might remind him of consequences. As a kid, he can’t see far enough into the future to predict her telling his parents, and the big trouble he’ll be in. He only sees the moment, and his imagined victory working out for him.

Hope Calvin has written out his will. ☺

On Saturday, when Hobbes locks the door from inside the bathroom, the doorknob is on the right. Today, when Rosalyn is trying to open the door from outside the bathroom, the doorknob is again on the right.

Something isn’t right with that door…

Oh no he didn’t. At least I hope he didn’t.

I bet she scanned, or typed, copies of them and will lock that little bastard in there, and Calvin too.

After is latest spoiled brat episode, the next time they need a baby sitter, Rosalyn should late about 15 minutes and then call and say she can’t make it.No matter what she gets paid, the brat needs to learn some manners. Maybe she should flush his head down the toilet.

It’s a terrible thing when a child says “mom always liked you best” meaning not a sibling, but the baby sitter. (With apologies to the Smothers Brothers.)

That little brat needs a long trip to the woodshed.

Normally I would be against corporal punishment of any kind, but Calvin? Then again, maybe take Hobbes away for good!

WhenIhavechildrenIwillraisethembetter, WhenIhavechildrenIwillraisethembetter, WhenIhavechildrenIwillraisethembetter,

Calvin has suddenly become quite erudite! I do believe he must be READING Roslyn’s notes before he flushes them.

You’ll what!

Roz, break down the door, and send Calvin’s parents a bill for $1000. If you don’t get your notes back, make that $10K.

Good thing Calvin is a cartoon character, because otherwise, he’d be dead meat…

who writes their notes nowadays?

Her mistake here – never make idle threats to children. Only threaten what you are willing and able to carry out.
