Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 14, 2020

Calvin’s Mom loves him, just not $20 worth.

Next time he’ll drive the price up to $40.

I’m not really cool with physical contact in general, but even I would take a hug over money.

With what are you going to buy $20, Cal? As a quartet of Brits named John, Paul, George, and Richard used to say, “I don’t care too much for money, money can’t buy [you] love.”

Sorry Calvin, your needs are more expensive than a large pizza.

I can think of a lot of adults who work by the same premise.

I have family members with that attitude. Unfortunately, they are not children.

Pooooor baby. NOT!

Calvin, you just blew a nice, warm motherly hug. Years from now, you’ll regret it.

Sounds like he is being a spoiled brat. I hope his mother does not give him teh $20.00.Sure am glad I never had kids.

Wrong request, Calvin.

Material Girl ~ Madonna (Well it does have “Material World” in the lyrics….)

Costs me $20? No, I don’t care about you either! :-)

Money can’t buy you love, but it sure helps with introductions.

To put it in perspective due to inflation, the 1990 $20 would be worth $39.00 today. Calvin probably wants to take a friend to go see a movie in a theatre and buy concession popcorn.

Give me $20 and I’ll vote for you. It’s more than the Soc. Security increase this year.

Back in the days where you could hug…

None so blind as those who will not see.

How do you define care tho Calvin?

It’s be a $20 hug.

It’s not that people ignore me. It’s that I don’t have enough money to ignore people.

Calvin really does think the world revolves around him.

I do not think that a whiny brat like Calvin matters to anyone.

He will have many regrets later in life when his mother won’t be there to give him that hug…..

As the Stone’s se eloquently sung – You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need.

I understand Calvin completely. I’d rather have $20 than a hug any day!

Calvin is the most egotistical, self centered little creep I have ever read!

I wouldn’t give a tuppence for a hug from most people. But a hug from my late wife …

“My Mama loves me. She loves me. She gets down on her knees and hugs me.”

I have the same bills in my wallet as I did on March 14 before The Great Lockdown began. No cash spent for 7 months. True story.

Oh no, Cal’s trying to buy another rocket launcher! Try www.rockets-R-us.com (some restrictions may apply)

Wow, I had the first 2 panels clipped and laminated and hanging in my office for years! I think most working people have felt this way.

Stop pushing your luck, Calvin. It’s either a hug or nothing. Love Mum’s approach of just walking off and leaving him to scream. Haha.

I was going to suggest a name, but i’ve sworn off political comments until after the election

Calvin isn very pursuading

A mother’s hug would be better bet at your age than 20 dollars. Hata off to all mothers.

Big hugs are more valuable

When I was his age, the tooth fairy was my only source of income.

Calvin grew up to be either a career criminal or a Republican. Oh wait…
