Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 21, 2019

Calvin, you don’t need that sneer to be an unbearable burden.

You’re already doing a great job with any face you make, Calvin

Show some more teeth and maybe a fang or two.

Calvin should drop out of school and become a model.

Seven years sounds good – what about nine lives?

Now just practice the grunt…

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is ugliest of them all?

If your parents can’t take you to any social occasions, that will mean they’ll have to call your favorite babysitter, Calvin!

It’s good to have goals in life.

That is not the look that I would want frozen on my face.

A lead character in a novel described his first meeting with his freshman college students: they supposedly came to get an education but it seems most were majoring in ‘surly’.

That look can be applied for so many things coming his way as Calvin gets older.

If he really wants to be a teenager he should practice rolling his eyes.

Get in the practice while you can, Cal.

Looks like you have a massive booger that you are unable to extricate from your nose…

The eye roll is even more annoying! ;o{

Now to work on that one word parents loath… “Whatever”

What he forgets is that if his parents can’t take him anywhere, it’s Roslyn time…

Kids are the joy of life. Until they turn 13 …

To get a really good sneer you need a Captain Hook moustache.

For some reason, the first time I saw his sneer, I thought of a leprechaun.

Hey, it worked for Darth Cheney…

Good Lord, that face could curdle milk.

Needs more cow bell.

If I’m doing the math right, that means he’s 6 right now. Seems about right.

Poor kid, looks like a sinus problem.

Stay at 6 Calvin. Life is not easy when you grow up.
