Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 06, 2016

Good to see Calvin planning ahead.

Do you think Dad will get to see the treasure they “found”? Do you think Dad will let Calvin live long enough to see his seventh birthday?

Man, 4th comment. That’s a cool activity, so can you blame Calvin if he gives it back?

Did dad buried the wallet to prevent Calvin from getting to it? Doesn’t he know his boy better?

Can you say, “booty”, Calvin? Can you say, “Pirate”, Calvin? Can your dad say, “Arrrrrr, walk the plank!”?

Oh, a wallet full of money, I could need this!!!

It’s HIS problem, HE must be wary with strange women!!

I hope you like this spot where this hole is, Calvin. You might be buried there soon.

Calvin’s dad has been without his wallet for a whole week? How come he hasn’t noticed?

To LeadingEdge: The comics are reruns, I made comments already many years ago! I have had much work during the Easter Days!

I’m not sure planting a wallet in the spring is one of the ways Suze Orman says you can make your money grow.

Calvin makes Dennis the Menace look like Little Orphan Annie.

An “ancient” treasure map that’s one week old. I guess that’s ancient to a 6 year old.

How can Calvin make a secret ancient treasure map?I bet his dad thinks the treasure will be punishing him.

You may notice from the drawing style, this is an earlier strip (also brilliant)

Maybe his Dad did notice his wallet was missing and thought he dropped it at work or somewhere outside. So he’s spent the week cancelling credit cards, getting a new driver’s license, etc. Yeah, when he finds out it was Calvin….

He only planted it yesterday. Calvin should be careful (something he isn’t) that his dad never knows it’s him, but Calvin will probably spend all the money immediatley

This is not going to end well for those two if dad finds out.

Oh, Snap!

Still can’t get over that he didn’t pay you? :/

Gee, I wonder what ol’ Dad’s gonna say at his wallet now being all scuffed-up and dirtied like that!

I wonder if enough time has passed for “finders keepers, losers weepers” to apply? Oh, right. Probably doesn’t apply to cases of larceny.

Good thing he’s not my kid…..
