agpeter (from yesterday),
“But where is Hobbes’s shovel?”
Apparently, Calvin is using it. As I said yesterday, “The handle is a bit long for Calvin, though.”
BTW, your further comment “…and the job would be done in no time at all” is exactly opposite to what Calvin said about doing it by himself, “This is going to take forever.” Isn’t it interesting how ‘eggs’ceedingly hyperbolic terminology emphasizes the point you want to make.
“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
Mt. 19:24; see also Mk. 10:25 and Lk. 18:25
I typed the n in in on the BTW line. Why doesn’t it fit?
And in the last frame Calvin looks so optimistically expectant that any minute now someone will come by and actually pay $1 to actually not drink a glass of Calvin’s DEBiLitatinG DiSEaSE DRiNK.
Personally, I think more people & kids need to eat dirt. LOL
Especially kids.
Myself and many of my friends tasted dirt when we were young - both on impulse and not by choice, and now we are relatively quite healthy in our later years (50+).
Consider that last to how “healthy” children are currently, and you see so many allergies, ailments, etc., and it’s just one more nail in the coffin for the decline of the human race within “civilized” North America.
Given some of the strange and gross things kids are known to eat (“Mud Pie” anyone?), I’m sure any minute now, some little kid will come along and be more than willing to pay good money for a big glass of sludge just to see what it tastes like!
Wow!! And that was only the word you use to mend socks!
Strick here, huh? I have every book on these two, and no matter how many times you read them (As you know) You always get a kick.

**Good morning Marg! Good morning Fran and Kizzzy! Good Morning L’Wolf! Good Morning Grog!**
Soon there will be entire shopping malls where people pay not to buy the junk in there.
This is like giving money to banks that fail because they can’t handle money.

You have a sick mind, Calvin. And he has the nerve to sell it for a buck.

Calvin trying on various career hats in this one: lawyer, salesman, politician. Oh wait, they’re all sort of the same thing - duh…..

Calvin probably thinks that Susie is stupid enough to try his drainage drink. Face it Calvin, Hobbes has more common sense
