Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 17, 2024

Just give her a big push…..

Now you see why Rosalyn wants to be paid in advance?

Good thing she’s not studying for a big test this time.

I love how here, Rosalyn actually shows concern for Calvin and he purposefully takes advantage of this in order to abuse her.

Oh Calvin you know not what perilous consequences you contemplate!

The look on Calvin’s face in the last panel.

She should know better.

This is were little ( rotten ) kids learn to swear !

Rosalyn will be able to collect college tuition next time she is asked to sit Calvin

Rosalyn, surely you’re not going to be taken in by THAT old gag…

She should have anticipated this at some point and demanded that the parents place a key rock outside someplace.

You’re funny, Calvin. Pretty dumb, but funny all the same.

If sometheeng out there then is she not rather stays safe inside with door closed?

Calvin! Whatever you’re doing, stop! You’re only be making things worse for yourself!

Be honest… how many of you misread this and thought it said “TRUMP” rather than “THUMP”? It gives a whole different take on the comic… : ). You’re welcome and God Bless America!!

This is where Rosalyn should grab Calvin’s hand and say: “Come and show me exactly where you heard such a noise . . .”

Dirty trick……should have asked for water!!!!!

Calvin, you’re just BEGGING for trouble!

Roslyn should know Calvin better.

Locked out… AGAIN ! Take the money, get into your car and leave Roz…

The Final Girl.

A thump, or was it Trump?

Rosalyn should know better.

That said, Calvin in p3 is like Gollum leading Frodo into Shelob’s lair.

I love Watterson’s attention to detail. The notebook in panel three could easily have been marked with a simple line, but he shows the spiral binding. Also the folds in the clothing. And the design on what could have been a plain lamp.

Someone’s getting locked out.

This won’t end well! ;-)

I love how Calvin’s face looks like a little old man in the last panel. Now we know what’s coming…

Can’t wait for tomorrow’s strip!

Seriously, did Calvin’s mom drink a lot when she was pregnant?

Rosalyn is not the brightest bulb in the pack

Who called it on Monday?
