Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 17, 2018

Calvin, always remember:

Grifters come from grifters.

At least Uncle Max got a good look at Calvin’s smarts and sneakiness.

Calvin is a smart kid, but has some terrible habits and learning criminal things.

But, but, but… How does the trick go??

At Calvin’s age, they think they invented the lie. Ten years later, they think they invented sex.

Calvin, who do you think taught the trick to dad?

I really like Uncle Max!

Uncle Max’s wattage just three-folded in Calvin’s eyes.

Uncle Max may not be a sharp dresser, but he’s not the dullest tool in the shed either.

Hard to believe Dad ever fell for that. He never trusts Calvin to mean what he says

From yesterday to answer SomebodyShort I have that Non Sequitur printed and pinned on my cube wall. Luckily it had the date printed on it.

Wow, Calvin, veeery smooth. ;D

I bet Uncle Max was hoping that Calvin would make himself disappear.

Haha.

Genes are odd things. My son spent almost zero time with my eldest brother at any time in his life, and yet is more like him in habits, thinking, emotional makeup and even in some gestures than he is like his father. Methinks we’re seeing a grown-up Calvin in Uncle Max.

Looks like Uncle Max didn’t just fall off the turnip truck. Better luck next time, Calvin.

Good one.

Funny how we know the uncle’s name but not Calvin’s parent’s names! First or Last!
