Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 18, 2023

Just random names from the phone book.

Why was Calvin specifically asking 6 year olds? He knows he can ask literally any kid, right?

No sale

Calvin follows traditional comic strip fact-finding guidelines, also known as the Lucy Van Pelt method.

Those six-year-olds have misguided expectations.

One time I was seven years old.

Cal, as The Beatles sang, “money can’t buy you love”. Pops is keepin’ it real.

Where indeed.

In the mirror.

So many people call that bank gadget an ATM “machine”. Also, PIN “number”. Aren’t they aware of their redundancy??

This joke still works! :D

Can we really trust playground polls?

Close to home.

I wonder what Calvin’s poll numbers look like.

ATM! ATM! “I’ll get your my pretty, and your little dog, Toto, too!”

The politicians like people that know how to use the ATM and do so liberally.

Poll are designed to give you the results you want to see.

My Congressman sent out a poll asking people how much money the former guy’s tax cut SAVED them. The option that it would cost people was not available.

Then it gave various dollar amounts. Hey, it saved me $25. That’s great, isn’t it. We’ll it is if you are paid weekly or even monthly but as an annual savings, that’s 7 cents a day. You can find that much savings under the cushions on the couch.

Also is that $25 on $100 income or $100,000 income.

The results, “Most people say that the tax cuts save them hundreds of dollars a year.”

Soooo, on a related note, does anyone care about the Nielson ratings anymore?

Calvin has been watching Transformers, but his dad aint Optimus Prime

Dad’s just being cool. Be interesting to see how this arc plays out.

If you want a raise in your allowance, just ask!

Most six year olds now have a debit card app for that on their cell phones as well as their own Visa and Forever XXI credit card.

My Dad was like an ATM! They did not exist so he never gave me money…

Where indeed. We know there’s only one six year old in the house so every poll result would be either 0% or 100%.

Dad should explain that first you have to put money into an account. Calvin hasn’t put any money in, so he can’t get any out.

My daughter once said that’s what Mom meant, “Made Of Money”

I’ve often felt like an ATM!

Polling has not improved.

There’s a sample size of ONE, lol

Newsflash Calvin, you need to put money in the bank before you can take it out of the ATM.

Um… hello! Right in front of you, dad

You entered the wrong PIN, Calvin.

Calvin should know that automatic teller machines only put out money that is in your bank account.

Calvin’s way of leading up to a request for money from Dad…

Gen Z in a nutshell

I am the only one of my Father’s (four) Children that never used the Man as an ATM.

……… I’m sure that’s why he made me the executor of his estate and left everything to me.

The sad part is,………….. I was adopted.

You get what you put in, … appreciation needs to be mutual.

Dad is still alive,…….. and I hope I’m not the only one who appreciates that.
