Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 23, 2018

The first time never lives up to expectations.

If it’s alright to do it, why bother?

I remember being in my teens about a decade ago, and trying to get some spray paint for the garage… ughboy, you’d think the stuff was weapons-grade plutonium with how they guarded it.

Take some utility and surveyor paint to a job site.

“LAME!”

like Calvin never thought of chalk being permanent; never paid attention to Miss Woomword erasing the notes on the CHALKboard

Save it for the school chalkboard.

Isn’t any use doing a temporary job. If you do it, do it right.

The Thrill is Gone

Give him a can of spray paint. Maybe he’ll become “El Calvino”

I wonder what he was going to draw, a snake?

Well that takes all the fun out of it!

She should have just left it at that – if he THINKS that’s what he’s doing, so what?

Just as well, Calvin – Officer Friendly probably pays enough visits to your house over your snow sculptures…

Calvin has already forgotten the bathroom tap incident.

If it ain’t evil, it ain’t me! ;o\

If you encourage someone to deface property, are you an evandalist?

One halloween I marked up a neighbour’s garage with wax sticks. Then I noticed that the wax did not wash off in the rain, and a week later I went out at night and removed ALL the wax with a razor blade.

In the late 80s, we were stationed in Sicily, and lived in a housing complex off-base. I had a baby-sitting business, and when the weather was good, got the kids outside. My house was on a street where the gate was kept locked, so I’d give the kids sidewalk chalk, and let them do what they wanted on the pavement. I was mightily peeved when someone brought up at a town hall how I was letting the kids vandalize the pavement with their chalk drawings. The officer in charge shook his head, and said there was absolutely nothing wrong with what they were doing. I made sure the kids colored twice the pavement amount than before! It was also the last time we lived in housing…

You can be a Visigoth instead.

God, do I ever get turned on by a girl with a spherical head!

that’s from weirdos from another planet

LOL!
