Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 28, 2021

Maybe that explains the rattling noise in his head.

one of the oldest “dad jokes” in the book: money excruted form your head

Dad knew exactly what he was doing.

You forgot to say…..“Abracadabra”.

Really brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, “Feel like a million bucks!”

All dads like to make fun of their young children. Mine told me he had been an Italian Army General during World War II and after 1943 September 8th, when he joined the Partisans in North Italy.

Will not one come out?

And another instance of the old conundrum rears its head: If Hobbes is really just a stuffed animal, then how is Calvin doing this to himself?

This, comic Meads an update that should have been a quarter

Dad’s taking a chance that Calvin doesn’t damage his ear looking for more coins.

This in-ear-discovery must COINcidentally come from Calvin’s refusal to take a bath

Only Calvin would think of that….

What’re the chances there’s more than the one dime in there? Heck, I was surprised that one was, to start with!

You might want to stop shaking him Hobbes if he’s getting a bloody nose!

based on Calvin’s smile in panel 3, I suspect he is a relative of the Grinch.

Kids have such fresh filters. Their take on adult talk can be so unpredictable.

I have used that old trick to amaze my kids and grandkids for years! It’s much easier to hide the dime on the back of your hand than something larger like a nickel or a quarter.

Give it up Calvin, there’s nothing in there but a few loose rocks.

Well, back then you could still sell your blood to the blood bank…

Don’t give up yet- maybe they’re a little deeper. Get some needle nosed pliers…

It’s funny how in the first panel, Calvin is staring right at his dad taking out the dime from his pocket.

Third cartoon that’s made me LOL today…

I recognize the third panel from bootleg tees.

Next stop for Mom and Dad is jail after being charged with child abuse after taking Calvin to the pediatrician for neck pain, nose bleed, headache and blurred vision.

And I’m sure that Child Protective Services will have a fun time dealing with Calvin.

Classic!
