Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 01, 2020

And there’s no off or mute button.

you’ve got no imagination, ma’am

Cancel this show, now.

Pull the plug.

Instagram! What an accurate metaphor.

Nightmare, big brother is watching you….

I am suddenly curious how Calvin’s characters sounded in Watterson’s imagination

What Calvin should have done was let her change the channel and then be a completely different show on the other channel.

Must not go there….must resist. What the heck, very topical for an old comic.

OMG, he’s in syndication!

Today it would be the lead-in to the horror soap called As The Trumpety World Turns (Our Stomachs).

She’s a stay at home mom, what could she be doing that’s more important than the Calvin show?

Calvin’s mom kinda reminds me of my own late mother. Couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to me as a small child—unless I did something naughty!

Now we know the origin of “500 channels and nothing good on.”

I heard Calvin singing to the theme song for the old “Patty Duke Show” for some reason.

Oh that’s just great, now I’ll be humming his theme song all day.

He’s got a point. When you own the TV you get to chose the shows. Until the kids mess up the remote.

All the networks! Calvin’s got a really good agent.

today it would be “i’m on all the channels”

‘State TV’

Thank goodness for cable. I could watch a star trek rerun instead of the debate. Worf accepts discommendation and his brother is violently attacked. Still, less drama and violence than the orange disruption.

Reminds me of something I saw on tv the other night. Two guys running for president were supposedly having a debate or something.

Max Headroom has nothing to worry about.

You’ve got a mean mom, little guy. If one of my kids had done that it would have seemed precious to me and his mom.

It looks like his show is about to be cancelled by the FCC.

If only you could control kids like you can the television . . .

Then let’s introduce a new network called “I’m taking your TV screen away.”

Bob L’Eponge is much more entertaining.

Try pulling the plug…..

Your audience isn’t easily impressed, Cal. Try harder! :D

If it’s from Calvin it can’t be a smart TV otherwise I would suggest bringing up Netflix

Must be an “infomercial”. The only thing I ever learned from one is how gullible they think we are. Some of us surely are or they wouldn’t keep showing them and showing them and showing them … (All the SHOUTING, sheesh.)

Love the writing desk

Kinda like the debate.

ive missed these

He’s like Biden ads.

Is this where he convinces her to get cable?

Calvin sure knows how to welcome the applause. For us Calvin is always in the frame. Love you dear.
