@suzleigh,It would have been even more humorous than it was, but asking for a trebuchet would have revealed his identity (as if he already hadn’t done so)!Besides, ‘planned obsolescence’ has made trebuchets out of vogue for hundreds of years! :o)
His comment also implies that EVERY caller or customer wants catapults for lobbing 50 pound gobs of snow on little girls. Go figure why that’s not the case.

I’m pretty sure those construction projects for kids at Lowe’s could help you build a catapult Calvin…
margueritem about 12 years ago
They sell to contractors, Calvin. Perhaps if you were nice to a contractor…

Call Dill’s brothers. They are sure to know.

Could that be “Derkins Hardware” he called?

The Pentagon could help him.

They sell what grown-ups need & want, Calvin.
feverjr Premium Member about 12 years ago
Try ACME for all your catapult needs.
suzleigh about 12 years ago
Should have asked for a trebuchet.
Makso about 12 years ago
And still he underestimates Susie.

Why not Prince Albert in a can?
hariseldon59 about 12 years ago
He’s in the wrong comic strip if he’s looking for a catapult. Try Wizard of Id.

They are into CONstruction, Calvin, not DEstruction.

Call MacGyver, Calvin
brilligmimsy about 12 years ago
Best bet for accuracy: a cruise missile with packed-snow warhead. A little pricey, though. Maybe Calvin has a rich, sympathetic uncle?
astar15 about 12 years ago
I bet once he called Pepboys.

@hazardboy,Prince Albert in a can might be called a ‘quid’ pro quo for Susie!
mjdreyfuss about 12 years ago
Become a cub scout. Captapults are learned in Webeloes level.
rogue53 about 12 years ago
Which shows the customer ISN’T always right.

Interesting use of “feminine” as opposed to “female”. Perhaps our Calvin is starting to mature (in a completely immature manner!)
Mike 17 about 12 years ago
Maybe he should call Rush L.. He’s good at attacking small feminine targets

This probably is the way many science projects begin.

Calvin you can get the same res pounce if you want something fixed instead of buying a new one .
ratlum about 12 years ago
A big sling shot,get Hobbes to help you, but do not tell him its for Susie or it may be designed to shoot back wards.
redbaron1966 about 12 years ago
BAE Systems could build something for Calvin, only problem is that Susie may have a contract in with Lockheed!
xSigoff Premium Member about 12 years ago
i suggest calling the winner of the Punkin Chunkin catapult division. Watch Discovery channel this fall.
DerkinsVanPelt218 about 12 years ago
I bet Home Depot has the equipment for making a catapult.
khpage about 12 years ago
They hang up on weird guys like you, Calvin. Better try another approach, your imagination is up to the task, no doubt…
Karaboo2 about 12 years ago
Kids your age Calvin should be shopping at Catapults-R-Us, not the hardware store.

Go build a snow igloo and live in it with Hobbes.
bmonk about 12 years ago
He can borrow my snow trebuchet!
(Watch out, Ooooops!)
jmo328 about 12 years ago
He hasn’t heard of a snow thrower/blower?
jmo328 about 12 years ago
Ever hear of a snowblower/thrower?
avonsalis about 12 years ago
Better let it go, Calvin.That woulda been a sure way to end up with your butt in a sling.
rgcviper about 12 years ago
“Calvin & Hobbes” is just classic. ’Nuff said.
