Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 20, 2013

Feel the wrath of the hose!

I’d like to see panel four.

ooh, in the last panel Susie’s expressions are epic!

Susie do you really want to do this.

Calvin could out-oufox Suzie by pretending to enjoy beinghosed on this hot summer’s day. After all, aren’t little boyssupposed to &c&c?

Outcome self-evident. Girls are as sneaky as boys; just a tad cleverer and a bit more devious within the same age group.

One…

You had it coming Calvin….

The balloon bomber will find heavy antiaircraft fire.

Mouaaah! The waiting is so sweet!!!

Mwahahahaahhaha

Well done, Susie!

@ Nabuquduriuzhur" clever is not an adjective I’duse to describe most of the girls I went to schoolwith." Believed in evolution and a more than 6000-year-old earth, did they?

Looks like Calvin’s plans are all wet, and Calvin’s all washed up.

At last, the denouement.

Ah young love… or hate.

Just as I thought.

Did you bring your towel, Calvin? You’re going to need one – a big absorbent one.

Poor, innocent, little boy; being ambushed by the neighborhood bully.

Susie reads Calvin like an open book.

Afterwards, Calvin will complain how mean and evil Susie was to attack him with the hose, not seeing that he was going to do essentially the same with ‘water balloons’. Turn about is fair play, Calvin ! !

As, Gomer Pyle, would say………..

SURPRISE! SURPRISE!! SURPRISE!!!

LUV IT!!

Oh yes, a panel 4 would be fun to see.

ha haaa…..ONE…

Tomorrow’s strip I gonna be a scream… get the books.

Got to clean the coffee off my screen!

The ‘Evil Genius’ meets his nemesis… Watergirl (Whattagirl)!

…one, zero! I think Susie has Calvin’s number.

This is not a political cartoon. Please take your silly political notions elsewhere.

Goosh!

Calvin and Susie are attracted to each other and are expressing it in an age-appropriate way.

Why do their eyes look evil when they’re mad or suspicious looking? That’s scary.

Poor Calvin, guilty until proven innocent. Susie might have suspected that Calvin was up to no good and that given Calvin’s past history and the fact that it is summer, it would probably have soemthing to do with water balloons. Had it been winter, snowmen or snow balls would surely be involved in he plot.

However, she has no actual proof and is taking action on suspicion only. After all, Calvin never even threatened to hit her with water baloons. Of course, this could be looked upon as a pre-emptive strike. As they say, “All’s fair in love and war.” I wonder which this is.

I love these threads. I always get a kick out of the interactions between Calvin and Susie.

thats my girl!

GO GIRL!

xxx

Calvin, about to be caught in a trap of his own making.

hee hee hee

You dont take heavy weapons on a recon

Bwahahahahaha!

the waiting is exquisite

No, Calvin would have it coming when he grows up and marries Susie. They seem a perfect couple.

Susie sure knows Calvin well.

Calvin don’t you ever learn.

Calvin..a) deserves the just dessert he is about to get, right down to the last scrapb) hates it when mom gives him a bath, now its susiec) should take off his shirt and wave it before going around the corner (worked for hobbes)d) Will finally start to realize how worthy of his love Susie is.

Susie.. looks really evil LOL love the expression. Go Suz GoPhotograph his expression to show him later in life ;)

The little cretin gets what he deserves.

No calvin, no!
