Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 22, 2018

Maybe, she’ll develop a head cold and go home early.

I do wonder if Vicky from Fairly OddParents was at least partially inspired by Rosalyn. (Albeit much more sadistic.)

“Really Calvin? Then how did your mom open it so easily?”

Bed? That early? Rosalyn is clearly the mean one.

The *$^%) eating grin from Calvin is worth the price of admission.

Hot tea and warm bath for Rose!!

And the battle begins…

Gotta love his grin in panel 3! XD

Calvin’s not going to give up that easily!

She is too smart for you, Calvin.

Kids abrat!!!

Such a warm and loving relationship.

Congratulations. You played yourself.

Rosalyn doesn’t take lame excuses well.

Rosalyn is a saint to keep sitting for them!

Hell hath no fury like a Rosalyn left out in the cold.

Hope LeadingEdge is OK. The comments miss a lot without their presence.

Parents are out of touch. A second ago Calvin is screaming for a weapon to use against Rosalyn, but then they expect him to welcome her with open arms?

In my sitting days, I’d have said something like “Yeah, right, ya little weasel…you go get me a towel and I’ll make us some cocoa.” You need to win them over to your side and make them look forward to being babysat. I always brought an activity, too. The kids always asked for me, I was in high demand, and I made great money!

Never mess with the babysitter. You never know what will happen.

Bill Watterson is just 59. I hope he continues Calvin and Hobbes.

If I was Calvin, I would have just gone to bed when her arrival was announced. Might as well….that’s where she always puts him anyway.
