Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 11, 2024

Or Calvin could say that aliens did it and he beat them all as Spaceman Spiff!

Sounds like a couple of young ones are looking to be homeless…..

Remember the time Calvin told Dad the sink had exploded by itself, then said it was Hobbes, then said it was aliens?

Yukon Ho!

Oh, look, here’s a map of Antarctica.

How far will they get before Mom notices the car is missing?

Can’t Spaceman Spiff tow out it for them?

Just whistle and no nothing!

Cheez-It!!

Did you ever see someone storing gloves in a glove compartment?

Just remember the fish sandwiches…….

I like the way that Hobbes is staring at us in panel 3. He seems to be staring at us in amazement at how far from reality Calvin can be.

Those maps won’t do any good. If Calvin wants to get away from his parents, he’ll need a globe to see where he’s going.

Trying to remember what happens here. I THINK Mom isn’t mad because she thought maybe Calvin was hurt?

Remember, if you want to run away to Saskatchewan, you should know how to spell Saskatchewan.

Whoa! Going out on the lam already? Congratulations, Calvin! You have became a big time criminal!

I see trouble on the way

I see earthquakes and lightnin’

Good luck with that, Calvin.

Somehow I suspect that Mom and Dad will notice, Calvin.

Map? What is this map thing that you speak of?

(Ah, the days before smart phones.)

I am LOLing!!

Oh for goodness sake, just tell the truth. Your parents don’t beat you! Own up and they’ll probably just ground you and hope that you learned something. (Yes, I know it’s just a cartoon.)

No, getting a car-shaped balloon and putting it in the garage won’t fool them

I like that a 6 year old can read a map. A skill lost to many today in the world of GPS.

Hobbes has a wristwatch?

LOL… Calvin and Hobbes just need to go about their business as normal… ‘Car? What car?’

Made me laugh 8.5/10

How many of us still have paper maps in the glove box? I do. How many of us have gloves in the box? Not me.

Feels good not to be Calvin at this point in time

I like how Hobbes summarizes their choices in one sentence.

I feel so sorry for Calvin and so glad no one got hurt.

Bad boys, bad boys. Whatcha gonna do when mama comes for you?

These are the situations where Stupendous Man works best! So use him already!

Hobbs and I noticed the wind pushing the car, we tried to stop it I think Hobbs was going to throw himself in front but I rescued him in the nick of time. Honest!
