i had a tough guy demand money from me in jr high so i brought it to him 4 rolls of quarters in a sock knocked him cold with the first swing broke his jaw to be carefull what you ask for .
I like how there’s quite a few comics in my local paper that try to imitate “The Far Side”. Not one attempts the impossible task of imitating “Calvin and Hobbes”.
finkd said,“@Kis,Sharp as a bowling ball.”That one is right down my alley. I was rolling in the aisles.It was sharp as ‘attack’, although I hope you didn’t mean it that way!
One day, after adulthood, Calvin will be a successful lawyer or doctor and Moe will be mucking out horse stalls. However, at the 10, 20, etc. class reunions, the old pecking orders will still be in vogue and Moe will once again lord it over Calvin. I’ve seen that at my own class reunions………..
About the love of twinkies. There is a true story of a college prof putting a twinkie on a ledge on the top of the blackboard… and it stayed there for 30 years and never changed.
@ratlum,Look at Calvin in panel 2! He’s sweating it out in case Moe ever does “find out who”, and also, that’s why Calvin intends to call his insurance agent. :o)
It’s too bad that the chemical preservatives don’t keep PEOPLE away from all those empty calories. The chickens eventually come home to roost. However, I have to reap what I sow, also. We are all flawed in one way or another.Give me a whole-grain banana nut or cranberry nut bread, or raisin bran muffin instead!

Someday Calvin will be bigger than Moe but Moe will probably be in a reformatory when that happens.

The quarter totally dated the strip. In the third panel it appears he’s contemplating how many quarters it takes to repair broken bones.

Does “smart like streetcar” really mean anything, or is it just a nonsense phrase or something of that nature?

I hope he never does either.

If Moe finds out that Calvin’s mother is responsible, what is he going to do, get his father involved in this?
