Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 31, 2018

No jury would convict Susie.

Winged feet, something Calvin had better acquire in the next two seconds!

Calvin got the winged feet thing right, but not the flower symbolism. I wonder where he got THAT idea.

As Susie prepares to kick some puny, six year old boy butt.

So basically, all of Calvin’s research is limited to what was stated in the first panel. That’s more than what you usually get out of him.

Susie has had enough of this little imp. Looks like she’s about to chew him up and spit him out. Run Calvin run.

Given the extent of Calvin’s “preparation”, it’s surprising he has so much to say!

Hard to believe, but I confidently predict that in just a few years Calvin and Susie will be hookin’ up.

Mrs. Wormwood will now practice the art of “Looking the Other Way”!

Calvin had me going there for a second. Thought he was actually on to something. Then along came FTD… ☺

This strip settles the dispute among two commentators yesterday. Susie wasn’t thinking quickly. Calvin really was supposed to be covering the mythology of Mercury which was closer to his talents but which he still avoided.

Oh, now you want to do that.

Calvin’s character is quite mercurial!

Good story for a 6 y/o. I bet all but one (Suzie) believes it too. I’d give him an A mostly for imagination.

The discussion about celestial bodies ends, as Calvin is about to see stars!

Suzie appears to be on the cusp of proving that not all women come from Venus.

In Calvin’s case FTD stands for Failure To Deliver.

Don’t forget the car, the record label and the lead singer of Queen.

Susie certainly has a temper.

Be afraid, Calvin. Be VERY afraid…

You learn something new every day…

He doesn’t have to imagine what Suzie will do to him

Actually, that’s pretty interesting and very relevant…

Lol. Susie looks so scary in the last panel. ;)

did that flower shop do deliveries? Since Mercury was the messenger god it would make sense he’d appear on the logo of a company that delivered things. Heck I’m surprised there isn’t some UPS or FedEx style package delivery service like “Mercury’s movers” or “Hermes home delivery” or something like that. Heck, since Mercury regularly went to and from the underworld you can even have a slogan like “we’ll go to hell and back for you!”

Never mind Mercury, Cal, you’re in a world of trouble!
