Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 19, 2009

Somehow, I doubt that….

Mom and Dad are going to ship Calvin off to boarding school.

The boarding schools have all turned them down, no doubt!

Just think Calvin, Susie will be there.

Calvin and Hobbes jump into my comic today! I hope you like it! http://www.gocomics.com/imaginethis/2009/10/19/

One of many delusions of youth…

Don’t bet on it.

You will miss me! It’s correct! I have three sons and when I can’t see them for a longer time, I miss them very much!

Fast forward about a dozen years to college. They will surely miss you then!

Yes Calvin, mom will miss you, but so will you…

I bet she does, too!

When Calvin’s mother tossed him out, was she “overstepping the bounds of propriety”? Anyway, getting Calvin off to school was a step (or two) in the right direction. Check the thermos in your lunchbox, Calvin! It might have broken when it hit the ground, but “don’t cry over spilled milk”!

Way to go mom. Throw him out and bar the door. That leaves you safe, but what about the rest of us?

just give her a chance Calvin… hard to miss someone who won’t go

Hilarious insert Hugh!

Oh she will “miss” you Calvin but in a good way.

Some of my sneezes from allergies feel just like that, Hugh!

Thoughts of that tune in the Staples commercial. “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!”

Mom closes door and lets out big sigh of relief.

Wishful thinking, Calvin?

The sad thing is that 3pm comes quicker than you’d like.

Hey Calvin, just go hide in the garage while mom & dad launch this balloon and rehearse our lines for the 911 call. Who didn’t see that one coming?

This is my daughter EXACTLY!

In a couple of hours mom will be sitting down with a jug of margarita’s and a contented look on her face. a few hours after that the frown will beging to creep back, and a 4pm as the door opens and the inevitable tiger-boy collision occurs it becomes the familiar full faced scowl that all young boys are used to seeing and recognise as the loving face of mom!

So true

lucky cal, most of us want to start school oct 19th!

The strips are played in the correct order, but since C+H ended ten years and a month after it began, and they probably already went through a round of reruns, the strips are off their original dates.

This one was probably originally published in early September

The Old Heave-Ho!! :-D

Nicely done, Turnbloom.

Missing someone and noticing someone’s gone are two entirely different things, Calvin.

……………………………………………….

Another keeper, Hugh! ~Thanks.

Time to start the party.

Calvin you wish But they may take longer to miss you than 4 hrs

maybe there will be someone at school that calvin can learn a few more : mischievous things from

Hugh B. Hayve

i like your post…….

Just think of the poor teachers & class mates that have to deal with Calvin now.

That’s was me on the first day of school!

On my first day of school, I walked back home before we even got to lunch break.

to Hugh B. Hayve: love that GIF. Please post more!!

Calvin should be thankful his parents are sending him off to regular school instead of MILITARY school … although I’m not really sure that THEY’D have him either!!!!!

Alrighty then,

Calvin is a good exemple of what happens when you do away with the woodshead.

I wonder what high school will be like for Calvin…

I didn’t see the Staples commercial this year and I missed it. I love the part where he’s gliding on the shopping cart like he’s on skates! Mom’s planning on sending our little darling to pre-school next year and I’ll be crushed. I figured we had a couple more years before she starts kindergarden. I never sent my son because I figured he’d hate the long years he’d be stuck in school so why extend the torment. Mom looked around and found a pre-school that would take her at three years old so she wouldn’t have to wait until she was four. Mom’s always been in a hurry for her to grow up and doesn’t play with her instead buys her trendy clothes and shoes, little einstein stuff, toy pagers and cell phones etc. My son’s the one who does imaginative play stuff and runs around with her being silly. I have to remind myself all the time that we don’t own her but are just renting!

It can’t come soon enough for Mrs. Wormwood.
