Yes, now it stops when you open it – and I am the reason.
When I was 5, I climbed up on the washer, opened it, and was watching it spin. Thought “We put cards in our spokes and it sounds like a motor; it would probably do the same if I held my foot in the agitator.”
Left tibia & fibula, 1" below the knee; couple months in a “walking cast” (plaster with a rubber plug on the bottom) assured that, 58 years later, my left leg still sin’t quite straight……
Relax, most kids are this-a way, my teddy bears were quite real when I was a child, heck, I even had my teddy bear in my backpack all the time I was overseas as a tank gunner
Reminds me of Charley Weaver’s "Letters from Mamma. " In one Mamma said she got a new washing machine, but it wasn’t any good because the paddles kept knocking her hat off.
When you get your own place you can get one. They’re called hot tubs and Jacuzzis, and they cost a lot to install, operate, clean and repair. (stick with the washing machine).
Well, if you wouldn’t fight against your baths so much, your bath would have an agitator. You! You agitate everyone and everything else, so if you want your bath to be fun, you can agitate that too!

I’m sure there are times when your Mom wishes she could throw you into a washing machine, Calvin.

Calvin thinks Hobbes is real…but doesn’t think it’s strange he bathes in a washing machine?

I wish MY bathtub had an agitator.
You won’t wish that when the spin cycle starts.

Well, I think the closest thing to a bathtub like that, Calvin is being in the toilet whose flushing makes you spin around dizzily.

Nice to see Calvin sitting quietly for a change! (Hobbes is the real agitator for Calvin, perhaps!?)

With all of the Hobbes “being real” controversy, does anyone not know that Calvin is just as real as Hobbes. Think about that!

Would Calvin stick Hobbes in a refrigerator just to see if the light stays on when the door is closed?

I know dang well at least one “C&H” fan has written this already, but I still wanna say…“Calvin, when you’re in the bathtub, YOU are the agitator!”

Anyone throwing a stuffed animal into a washer knows the result will be a shapeless mass of stuffing, and it will never look the same.

The current administration is requiring that all new washing machines have white-colored agitators…
Because they’re fearful of having too many colored agitators…
