Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 16, 2018

He might take the news better from a stuffed toy.

As I said yesterday …

Could be worse. Could be raining.

I guess not everything is Calvin’s fault.

i’ll wait til dad see’s the light!

Does Calvin know this means he’s going to be stuck out here even longer?

This was back before cell phones so leaving the car lights on would be a major problem.

Yeah, I think you should too, Hobbes. Quit loafing around and get involved!

Thank god they came up with timers! I have my lights on auto which is great too.

The hits just keep on coming.

Don’t worry. They go out by themselves. . . eventually.

This should make his dad happy, think of how much character this will build.

This is the best arc ever!

Does the wife ever do anything? She doesn’t seem much help…

You better tell dad, or be on trip longer. Looks like Calvin is making the best exploring.

Looks like Dad is the one having his character tested.

Anyone else wonder how mom feels about, oh, I don’t know, maybe no flush toilets. In the best case scenario.

Oh, that reminds me.

Sign on the bulletin board at an A.F.B., sometime in the ’60s:

For sale ~ One tent, two cots, two sleeping bags, one Coleman stove, one Coleman lantern. Used once. Wife says never again.

Dad should have listened to Calvin – Calvin didn’t WANT to go camping!

This is prior to cell phones. Someone may have a long walk ahead of him.

Ya know, this arc shows dad is just a grown up Calvin.

Hope Dad is enjoying the camping trip that only he wanted to go on.
