Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 18, 2018

In just a few years, Calvin will be able access information about explosives on the internet.

Couldn’t Calvin just sneak a cookie instead of making threats that would never work???

news flags, Calvin: minors cannot purchase explosives without parental supervision

Tried to pull a fast one on mum – and it blew up in his face!Moral – Mum’s are immune to fast one’s!

If you cook that hot dog, it’ll be an explosion of flavor!

Why she refuse some cookies?

I don’t know that I would refer to a hot dog as “food.” At least, not for human consumption. Tigers would be another thing entirely.

FRANK-ly, I didn’t think much of your idea, Cal.

Cartoon characters can usually get dynamite whenever they want it.

Not much to like about this one.

Hobbes thinks practically!

Calvin has imagined nuking his school before, why can’t he just imagine blowing up his house with dynamite?

(I guess it wouldn’t get him cookies)

Calvin owes Hobbes a hot dog at least, after that plumbing incident.

Calvin in real life must have been the young Keith Moon — Keith used real dynamite to blow up hotel bathrooms

There was some submarine comedy movie in the 70s, relentlessly advertised with a scene where they were about to be torpedoed, and somebody shouts, “It’s a salami!”

Calvin can steal a hot dog but not a cookie

Try the Acme Corporation.

When i want something, i need to get it

Surprised Calvin did not eat that hotdog.

A bar of white soap might make a convincing substitute for C-4, but would mom even know what C-4 is?

Still worked out better than when he threatened his mom with a water balloon.

In my neighborhood, we made our own damn dynamite.

i know how you feel Cal, i’m still looking for a line on some DuPont Red Stripe..

just put nitroglycerin inside a water balloon

She stuck it in that plant pot…

At first I thought Calvin had a real stick of dynamite.

i bet calvin will become a criminal in the future

You know, there’s so much Calvin does in the strips decades ago that would land him in juvie today.
