Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 27, 2014

I think you lucked out Calvin. You’ll be fine.

That is all he wants to hear!!

She loves you. Now, go home.

Ahhhh…Mommy love! You’re one blessed boy, Calvin! ;)

And put some clean underwear on when you get home, Calvin!

All’s well that ends well…

Cute, precocious Calvin and adorable, lovable Hobbes . . . I love you!

However, your allowance will be docked for the next 37 years tocover the cost of the tow truck.

She loves you, Calvin.

Don’t do it ! It’s s trap !

wait until he is a teenager, and rolling over said car while texting

So, it turns out that “you can’t go home again” was a misconception.Click here: Peanuts (July 13, 1998)

In today’s Calvin and Hobbes, notice that in the first panel, Calvin is on the left side of the tree. In the second panel he has switched to the right side (when viewed from where Mom is standing). And in the third panel he is back on the left side.Bill Watterson drew it this way deliberately, because he wanted to keep Mom on the left side of the panel for the entire strip. But if he had drawn Calvin on the right side of the tree in panel 2, we wouldn’t have been able to see him, because he would have been blocked by the tree. Or, if he wasn’t blocked by the tree, Calvin’s back would have been to us in Panel 2 and the tree would have been between Mom and Calvin.

Well, THAT was a let down.

I think I’m crying.

@MochaJane: Well, Calvin does have trouble holding still. Today Calvin’s Mom definitely moved…….. the readers.

NOT, I repeat, NOT funny!

@Laynegg: Maybe you’re right. But it must be really difficult for the camera person to keep them in the frame. Calvin is just so……… so animated.

There’s nothing like affirmation from your mom….

Don’t go Calvin! It’s a trick so she can get you inside and do her dastardly deeds..

“It’s a trap.” – Admiral Ackbar

I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt – she checked that Calvin wasn’t in or under the car first, or anybody else for that matter, before being sure that Calvin was “missing” and she had to go look for him.

It’s only the “most climactic” in the REAL world.

Blessing in disguise… through this incident, Mom found out the transmission needed work.

cant wait till Dad comes home

I like Hobbs’ balancing act. Might have something to do with his tail getting shorter then longer.

Some might think this was the “most climactic event,” but my vote still goes to the “binoculars” story, and maybe to the “baby raccoon” story.

I love you son, just don’t do that kind of thing again.

Or as I told my kids, “How can someone so smart, do something so stupid?” It puts the emphasis on the act, not the kid.

The takeaway is: Hey, dad thinks I’m smart. Now I have to live up to that reputation.

my question is since Hobbes is a stuffed animal how did a six year old kid push a car

Ditch love. Make her promise she won’t kill you.

She is so happy he is ok,,,she might carry him home in her arms!!

…and they all lived happily ever after…

OK, I love you. Now DON’T DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN!!!

I love you always makes it better!!

OK, but it’s time for some “TOUGH LOVE”

No damage? I guess a GRUNTCH is not what it used to be.

Since there is no damage he can come home?? Gee thanks mom!!.

Wow… She’s not angry. Is she feeling all right?

xxx

It’s just a trick to get him down from there and in to her reach! lol

Your lucky Calvin.

Don’t push your luck, Calvin.

It’s a trick!,!

Given your track record, I’d get that in writing

Of course she loves you, Calvin!

The bill for the tow truck has to be at least… $75!!!

I question Mom’s priorities— first she calls the tow truck & waits for them to pull out the car. Only then does she look for her missing son and BTF (best tiger forever)

Don’t push it, Calvin.

There is nothing about climate that applies to the event. Even if it was a misspelled “climactic”, that word doesn’t apply here either! Perhaps you meant something akin to dramatic?

This kid drives a hard bargain — make her say it, Calvin :)

“First, let’s hear you say you love me”…And make it sound SINCERE.
