I love it when Calvin (last frame) is cleverly working something out and sticks his toung out to the side - In the first frame - I see why - Its genetics! Mom does it too!
I think Mom might get shocked at first, but will take it in stride. Looks like a HOT day out, and she might relish the cool water. LOL!
Have to wait and see .. in a subsequent strip.
Good grief! 42 comments already and it is still morning. I don’t have time to read all these. Why are you reading the comics and comments and writing comments? Don’t you folks have work to do? I’m telling your boss!
Ah yes, the power of running water. For me it was sticking the garden hose in one of the neighbours basement window vent holes. I don’t remember doing it but my mom never let me forget it.
But mom, the new plant you just put in is getting too much sunshine and needs watering. You just happen to be there at the same time I am watering the plant.

after all her hard work, on a hot summer day, she might appreciate a sprinkle…

Calvin you better nip this idea in the bud immediately or you are not gonna be able to sit down for a week!

It’s not so much what boredom can do to a 6 year old child… It’s more like what a bored 6 year old can do to everyone else.

You are absolutely correct in that statement, but the reprocussion comes right back to what happens to the 6yr old afterwards. lol

Maybe the cold water will help cool down his back side after the storm hits.

If Hobbes is his usual mischievous self, he’ll turn on the water while Calvin is still holding the sprinkler.

Better than having a water fight with Hobbes against Susie. That time, Susie acquired Hobbes’ water bombs and turned them against their maker.
On the other hand, wet dries after a little while. What Mom is likely to do will be felt a bit longer…
marvee about 15 years ago
You don’t tell a 6-year old to just go away. Maybe Calvin would like to dig in the dirt. Of course the garden would be a mess then.
