Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 06, 2020

Looks like the perfect alibi.

Turns out running isn’t the only thing Calvin does fast.

Also that reminds me, at some point Calvin should use the duplicator for a Rosalyn visit.

Stupendous man goes undercover!

Rosalyn kept saying your name, Calvin. She knew right when you started it and she’s going to finish it.

Always trying to put one over anybody, and failing. But that’s typical with a walnut sized brain!!

Calvin needs to put on some glasses.

Better hide that Stupendous Man costume really well.

If Rosalyn lets him get away with this, then she will have won. He’s in bed which is where she wanted him.

He should have closed her outside.

Never a phone booth when you want one….

Calvin is about to find out just how lame secret identities can be.

You may have to cover for him, Hobbes!

Something about this feels nauseatingly familiar.

I would never recognize him. But then, I was a little slow on Clark Kent too.

Calvin is quite the challenge, you can bet Rosalyn will be asking for triple time combat pay after this. I wonder if Calvin’s Dad knocks back a few stiff scotches each time he and the wife goes out as he probably knows what to expect when he gets back home by now as Rosalyn was the only girl to attempt babysitting our boy if I recall correctly, everyone else refused!

I do not think that Rosalyn is that stupid. Then again, she does agree to babysit Calvin.

OK Calvin, I buy that. Thank you. You saved me the trouble of putting you into bed. Now you can stay there.

Mild-mannered Calvin, good one. Calvin got his sense of humour from his Dad it seems.

What?!? Calvin is Stupendous Man? Who knew?

I’ve always said that Calvin is really a very smart, even brilliant kid. I hereby take it all back! That ain’t gonna fly, kid!

Calvin doesn’t seem to understand ‘mild mannered’ is the last phrase that would applied to him.

Calvin’s believablity factor isn’t very high. Clark Kent he’s not.

Watterson didn’t retire from this cartoon. Rosalyn and the parents finally lost their patience and murdered that little brat. The End.

Hmm, he should have consulted with Alibi Man.

Mega threats to come. Perhaps you’ve struck gold: She may refuse to babysit you again.

Rosalyn should have closed the door on him like he did to her on the previous job.

I don’t think she’s gonna buy it…

You mean you didn’t lock her outside? Uh oh…

An anagram of “it’s as plain as can be” is “bananas specialist.”

Stupendous Man? Nope, just plain stupid, man! You’ll find out just how thin your alibi is in a few frames….
