Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 06, 1989
Transcript:
Mom: I've swept up the glass from the window. Dad: Ok, I'll go get something to cover us the hole. Mom: Do you think it's safe to stay here tonight? Suppose the burglars come back! Dad: The police said they'd drive by, and we'll leave lots of lights on. Mom: Ugh, it's so creepy knowing those goons have been in our house. I don't feel safe at all. Dad: I know. And this must be really scary for a little kid like Calvin. Calvin: Gosh, I can't wait to tell everyone at school how our house got robbed! Hobbes: Be sure to say who scared the burglars off after they took the TV and jewlery.
Well, obviously, if Hobbes scared them away before they took that stuff, no one would believe it was a break-in!
