I’d really need to google this but isn’t the chronology wrong? I don’t think Allosaurs and Diplodocus co-existed. And an Allosaur woulnd’t attack something that huge; he’d go for easier prey. Come on, Calvin, do your research.
Poor Mom she has her hands full. This is why Calvin does not have any siblings. But Calvin does make me laugh and he is a riot. Reading about him and having him for a child are 2 different things. Then again I was not any better as a child.
What amazes me is I can only remember one strip where the little devil got his backside tanned – Mom got all dressed up to go out, and you know who nailed her with the hose (water balloon?) just as she was walking out the door. Nursing his burning twin cheeks, C’s response was that Mom was a grouch……

Glad he wasn’t hurt…the Diplodicus was always a favorite o f mine…also the longest dinosaur. Both roamed N. America and could’a met late in the Jurassic/early in the Late Jurassic, say c.145 million years ago. That fragile carnivore better watch for the Diplodicus’ tail!

Dreaming you are on top of the food chain doesn’t make it so.

Mom doesn’t like playing the role of of the unsuspecting diplodocus

If I were Calvin’s mother I’d make him clean up that mess.

Oh man, I CAN’T stop laughing at the look on mom’s face when he springs out at her like that!

Last panel: Just so long as you restrict it to your inagination, no problem. Acting out, however,

…may lead to your finding yourself at the BOTTOM of the foodchain — sent to bed with no supper.

Such a terrible, unexpected shock for Mom! That’s not nice, Calvin, you may not be astonished, when you are clobbered!

It appears that Calvin took few lessons of pouncing from Hobbes.

I’ll bet that took a few years off of her life…

Breaks are OK, Calvin. Scaring Mom half to death isn’t.

Love the first four panels. Neat transformation

My boys and I like the strips when Calvin’s imagination takes him into a creature or Spaceman Spiff

Allosaurus will bite your head off.
klunker rider over 10 years ago
Isn’t it against nature if a diplodocus gives an allosaurus a nasty spanking and sent to bed without dinner?

Loved the look on her face. I got a good laugh.

Gotta say, I have not laughed this hard at a cartoon in ages. I think this is the best Calvin & Hobbs in a Looong time!
