Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 05, 2013

Oh, WWIII has broke out now…

Mom has enough to work!!

Silly Calvin. In order for you to have extra work, you actually have to have some work in the first place!

Calvin DOES work?!?

When my son used to leave his coat lying around, I’d hide it and he’d have to find it in the morning before he could leave for school.

Calvin needs an attitude adjustment…

At least he tried to leave it on the rug, instead of dragging it thriugh the house and hanging its soggy self in the closet…

nice attitude, too. Love the grimace.

I hear that every day.

buster Calvin’s

Poor poor Calvin. Life’s just not fair. Over worked and under appreciated. Sigh.

Mom, just leave it there, cold and wet. He’ll find it that way in the morning and face the consequences of putting on a cold wet, wrinkled coat.

I hate cleaning too!

She’s so selfish ….

Wonder what Calvin’s Dad does with HIS wet coat?

…hope he said that VERY softly…

She yells at him for throwing it on the floor, but not for dragging it through the house. That makes a lot of sense.

Talk about work! The 4 year old twin great grandsons just left after a 3 day visit. Towels in the machine, but dried grass all over the floor. Why am I on Gocomics, you ask? Rest.

Smart boy. He didn’t say that out loud.

Love look on his face in panel 3…seen a very similar one in my house ove the years

That’s me when I come home from a bad day.

Oh really… “Hang it up where it belongs!”With Calvin’s height…??-And all you people want to do is harshly discipline him just because of his height and left his coat on the floor since it’s closer…??-It’s going to be a real hassle to hang it UP now…

Calvin doesn’t get the hang of it yet.

Time to get out the ping-pong paddle, the one with all the holes drill in it, then a few swats on Calvin’s’ behind would fix his recalcitrant behavior.

Hang your coat up Calvin;give Mom a break.

At least when Calvin first threw his coat on the floor, it was on a rug in front of the door. How is dragging the same wet coat across the floor in order to hang it up where it belongs going to create LESS work for her??? Now someone is going to have to go get the mop!

Lazy dude. Wait till he gets his own place it will be pigsty.Whoops like my place

You’re looking for a whupping, that’s for sure.

Indeed … that face in panel 3 is a classic.

“C&H” has some of the best faces I’ve seen in comic-dom.

I’ve been where Calvin is right now. I loathed doing any sort of housework as a kid.
