Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 22, 2016

Is Hobbes the beneficiary?

In reality, a bully will quickly figure out who fingered him. But in the cartoon world, bullies have room temperature IQs. So Calvin is safe, for now.

So many suspects to choose from …

Round up the usual suspects! This may be the beginning of a beautiful pigeon hunt!

I think Moe knows who fingered him but is pretending he doesn’t yet to make his threat more effective as he daren’t get into more trouble than he’s already in.

Mom’s in trouble…

This strip never gets old or disappoints.

Its a miracle you survived this; perhaps you should buy a lottery ticket

use the money to make a getaway

Moe must bully most of the kids in class, that is why he doesn’t know who ratted on him.

Never seen it confirmed but I’ve always thought that Moe was based on Moe Howard (although Moe Howard had more class……..)

Moe kind of reminds me of one of the high school football teams my son played against. The roster was finalized based on who made parole. Most of the kids had been shaving for the past 10 years and at half time, instead of going to the locker room, they took them to the sideline to graze.

There has always been, and will always be, only one way to deal with bullies. Sadly, the PC freaks of the world don’t like it. You can’t coddle them. You can’t hug it out. You can’t sit around a campfire and sing Kumbaya..I do not advocate for violence, but when that is all that someone understands, it is about the only thing that they will respond to. It is sad. It is honest.

Don’t let Hobbes get one…

At least you got your money back.

And have that person send an ambulance to the school right now!!

Reese’s PB Cups -cant eat just one. Nope.

Calvin is the tattletale, so he knows he’s dead!
