Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 03, 2014

Offer your Mom a percentage of the company, maybe then she will give you the money.

LOL! Curses, foiled again! ;)

Grant money doesn’t’ grow on trees. It grows in wallets.

My mum never kept money in her wallet when I was around.

“Mom is from Missouri.”

A lot of people seem to hate Missouri…Why is that…??

I am sure he had similar feelings for his dad as well. Can’t remember that strip.

Love Moms’ blank stare in frame 3. Like she doesn’t know whether to laugh or throw a fit. I think the latter.

you shouldn’t talk about yourself that way.

Calvin, like most kids, takes his parents’ money for granted.

cat’s in the cradle.

‘Choice words’ ha-ha!! He’s so great.

I’m still waiting for the affordable flying-car, they said in (I believe) Oct ‘65, would be in most everyone’s garage by 1997.

Mom — ever the sceptic….

Here in western Illinois we have a long list of Missouri jokes.And they give us plenty of material to work with!1. Only recently did they take a law off the books that required an operator of a tractor to place planks on a bridge before crossing. (Goes back to when tractors had steel lug wheels – decades ago!)2. Until a few years ago, it was legal to shoot an LDS member! (Though, I suspect that if someone had used this as defence, a jury would have still convicted)

Calvin, Calvin, you have to come to her with a 1.579 page proposal that you know she won’t have time to read.

The bed-making robot has already been invented. It is called a sleeping bag. Just get out, roll it up, and stuff it in your pack.

“Mom is from Missouri.”.No, Miss is from Missouri; Mom is from Momtana…

“Instead of a grant, how about a start up? He could start by making his bed up.”.Very good! LOL…

20% plz

@Tacopielvr: It’s too bad that people come to GoComics for humor and relaxation, and then often end up arguing over highly emotional issues. I guess there’s sometimes a fine line between comedy and tragedy.

Told ya.

Willard Duncan Vandiver (1854–1932) was a member of the United States House of Representatives from the state of Missouri. He is popularly credited with the authorship of the famous expression: “I’m from Missouri, you’ve got to show me,” which led to the state’s famous nickname: “The Show Me State”.1 In an 1899 speech, he declared, “I come from a state that raises corn and cotton, cockleburs and Democrats, and frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I’m from Missouri, and you have got to show me.”
