Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 23, 2015
Transcript:
Dad: "Have you been hitting rocks with this bat?" Calvin: "No, why?" Dad: "Look at it. It's chewed up. You should take care of your equipment" Calvin: "The ball did this!" Calvin: "It's what I've been trying to tell you! These are fang marks! The ball is berserk! It's deranged! It's a menace!" Calvin: "Why do I even bother?"

If this happened today, I would tell Calvin to wear a body camera to record that dangerous ball.

Always used to hit rocks with wooden bats, then along came the first metal bat and the ping noise was the best

@Nos Nevets,In short (as Wilkins Micawber would say), Calvin is being disingenuous and Dad knows it.

@Carl R: 1964 was a great year for Peanuts. In this strip, I especially like the way that Linus’s hair adds to his expressions in the bottom row of panels.

Like the little touches in the last panel: the plane next to the lamp, and the sock hanging out the drawer..
