Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 21, 2019

I hope they follow this up with a strip where Dad or Mom get their credit card bill.

Sign of the Apocalypse: Calvin with a concrete saw.

Shouldn’t the tool department realize by now that they’re talking to a kid?

I’m sorry, but WHAT kind of torches? (Codycab, I reckon the shop knows; they’re secretly pretending to write it up.)

“How big a bit ", Calvin. Not “how big of a bit”.

Do they have a gun safe? If so, they may have a problem.

Calvin – live contraceptive!

What’s the matter ? He is paying with a fake baby Mastercard

Now I want to know what he was planning to build assuming he’d get away with it.

Don’t leave home without it.

Somebody’s gonna get in big trouble!

This is why there is so much credit card fraud. :D

Can’t believe Calvin`s Mom walks past believing (knowing their actual relationship) that ‘Calvin’ is really speaking with ‘Susie’ ! !

School projects keep getting tougher by the year! :D

And have it all delivered to this address…

This strip only points out to me what kind of effect the internet and mobile have had on us over the past 25 years.

Isn’t that sweet? I’m sure Calvin is going to build some sort of surprise for mom and dad.

Not if Mastercard is involved.

What’s in YOUR wallet? (Man who has crush on Jennifer Garner)

Hope they’re at least on sale, Calvin.

Preparing for “the Incident” I see.

Seems like mom would get suspicious when he thanked Susie let alone talked to her about home work.

Mastercard? How old is this strip?

My son was younger than Calvin the year this strip appeared. Later, when he was about 8 or so an item on his Christmas list made me laugh (& wonder): JACKHAMMER.

Calvin is so industrious!

Contrary to popular advertising lore, it’s actually Calvin that is priceless.

You gotta have the right tools for the job.

These days, “What is that thing Calvin is talking to?”

Remember when they had really long cords so we could take it down the hall and into our bedroom and shut the door for a private conversation? The cord was always a tangled mess.

This explains his mom’s temper.

Reminds me of me and my brother.

It’s surprising Calvin doesn’t spend more time grounded in his room. Mom and Dad must be REALLY forgiving.

This phone purchase by Calvin seems to fall into the category of What could possibly go wrong?

Made me chuckle.
