Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 11, 2021

I hope he flushed it before he got in.

A little too quick if you think about it, Mom.

Are you a little bit stinky now, do you?

If you get your foot stuck, you’ll have to yell for help. What if Rosalyn is the only other person in the house?

That is a serious good idea – they should apply this to bathtubs!

I wish MY toilet swirled that fast!

This is one of my favorites

This is probably my all-time favorite cartoon by any cartoonist. Makes me laugh every time I see it.

When you get to high school, Calvin, Moe will use it to wash your head.

Honestly, this looks like something our great-grandson would do.

I remember as a kid hearing the snarky little girls across the way singsonging, “Teeter totter, bread and water, wash your face in toilet water!” Knowing those little brats they meant water from the facility, not eau de toilette.

That was a quick wash in spin cycle – now use the fan for a spin-dry

Someone very clever turned this into a gif some years ago, I used to have it on the PC somewhere….

Maybe he’ll try to heat the water tank next time.

That got the bottom half. Go back in and turn over.

Mom, you might not want to kiss him goodnight tonight.

And you’re just going to take his word for it? As the old saying goes, “Trust, but verify!”

Tks for the daily strip … it makes my day everyday, especially now down here in south LA after IDA.

Did Watterson attend the same art school as Bil Keene (Family Circus) as both had problems in drawing their characters to scale?

My idea was a little car wash for kids..put them in at one end and they come out clean and buffed at the other. My wife didn’t think much of the idea.

He’s lucky he didn’t flush himself down the toilet.

Kids.. Don’t try this at home. You’re just gonna be in for a lot of disappointment….

ROFLMAO!!!! This is a new one for me.

Mom and Dad should spend less time reading and pay more attention to what “Little Damien” is always doing! But then again, I guess there would be no Calvin comic strip if that happened.

There was a wonderful comic in the late 1980s on Mother Goose and Grimm. It showed Grimmy drinking out of the toilet and then commenting “It doesn’t get any better than this.”

Don’t knock it, Mom – he’s probably leaving less water on the floor than he would if he were in the tub, pretending to be a shark… not to mention the fact that you stay dry.

Funny.?? He didn’t end up in the Ministry of Magic.

Now, why didn’t I think of that when I was a kid…?

You don’t usually see this with girls.

Calvin’s face was flushed, but his shoulders saved him.

This one reminds me of the strips about Hobbes in the washer or the dryer. That may have given Calvin the idea.

This makes me think some kind of carousel bidet might be a fun way for young children to get clean.

Im so grossed out

That’s one powerful bidet!

I’m still pretty sure cartoon physics are involved here.

Calvin – what are those blue stains on you?

I’m sure he feels a little flushed.

Quick and fun and effective. Mom should be proud.

LOL!

He got a guest shot with the Smurfs?

Calvin, being such a little turd, it’s funny he didn’t go down the drain.

Calvin went from being dirty to a yellowish tint.

Toilets don’t have enough water in them anymore. Maybe get a footwash.

Hilarious! XD

I’d buy that.

Arrrghalhlhlaglhldbl. Also, ik.

Leave to the kids and they will invent ways to enjoy in every situation. Childhood is the best phase of life, alright.

Well, that’s one way to take a bath.

Great visuals and premise here. Made me laugh.

One of my all-time favorite C&H’s!!!

Calvin looks deranged.
