Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 17, 2020

So which one of the duplicates is going to be the whipping boy?

Only the original gets dinner.

The Sarcasm is strong in this one.

Maaaaaadnesssssss

Face it mom. You’ve created a monster who has created more monsters.

Don’t worry, Mom; all but one will fade away.

Mom’s hair will turn white before this is over.

Maybe Susie has a clone magnet so he can get all his clones together and smush them together into one person.

Survey says… BUSTED!

Mom literally has a kid who is in to everything!

I think I see where this is heading. Mom’s going to kill five of the six, and no one will ever know. In any case, no jury would ever convict her…

If I had said that to my parents….

I haven’t been Calvin’s age for over half a century, and my rear would still be sore.

Lucky for Mom the duplicator broke down when it did.

Multiplicity!!!

It’s kind of like when Billy filled in for his Dad on Family Circus, except BillW is chose Stephen King….

ORPHAN BLACK, the Calvin edition.

If she sees them all together she may have a stroke.

I’d have been able to say that only once to my mother…

Oh, Bill Watterson had parenting down to a T. Sometimes when my kid was acting up, I’d swear there was five of her. One kid couldn’t get in that much trouble.

I think this strip had to end, because Calvin parents died of stress and aggravation.

What would happen if Mom found out what was going on? Would she go crazy?

This is beginning to look like his duplicator is working! If mom sees it, it must be real.

Time out time and sent to your room until you are 18!

Also be sure to throw all cardboard boxes away.

Does she realize she’s outnumbered?

I hope it’s not too late to do what Hobbes said…“Check into a hotel until this is over.”
