Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 25, 2020

Also ask for more grilled cheese sandwiches and french fries.

You’d be better off just telling her about the duplicates.

You could try blaming society…

The Buddhist are right, karma will get you eventually.

All because Calvin couldn’t clean his room… again.

The end is near. WOOP WOOP

Go for the gusto while you can Calvin.

You have to give him credit; the boy is committed to the bit. To sell it as an actor, you’ve got to take it to the limit.

Calvin needs to own up to his duplicitous behavior.

Again this stupid arc? I hope it’s the last and move on.

Pull up the box, Mom. I dare you.

The smile in third panel is priceless. I don’t think I’ve seen him try so hard!

“Um—-, I’m not myself today?”

And let me guess they will all disappear when she lifts the box

It’s time to seal up the box and ship the duplicates off to… somewhere else.

Lift the box, lift the box!

Throw the machine in reverse.

This would be a good time to have an “UNDO” on the duplicator.

“It seemed like a good idea at the time.” Is my standard response when asked to explain my behaviour or my decisions.

A koan for us: if we were to succeed in making a sentient being, could it ever “go away?”

“At the time, it made sense.”

Never negotiate from a position of weakness…

As a child, I was often banished to my room. Luckily, I had a huge stockpile of army men, comic books, model planes, sci fi books, board games …

Please get rid of all the duplicates

Maybe reverse engineer the duplicator

I can’t wait for Monday! : D

Third panel is the face I make when the wife finds half the bacon gone.

Now what could five Calvins do that would possibly be bad?

Either these duplicates are horribly tone-deaf to the situation, or they’re trying to get Calvin in further trouble. I’m guessing the former, because Calvin would have to be extra dumb to take their advice.

Lighten up! Why can’t you just laugh and enjoy this unusual little boy and his antics. I love this kid(and his tiger)

I like Calvin’s expression in the third panel.

FLIP THE BOX!

FLIP THE BOX!

FLIP THE BOX!

FLIP THE BOX!
