Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 06, 2019

There’s a thing called mutual snuggling. It can be quite pleasant.

Get another Hobbes then!

Oh, c’mon, Dad, you got Mom with whom to snuggle in order to make you feel safe!

They want to be equal, except when there’s trouble. That’s when you have to step up and be a man.

I thought Clavins Mummy was a adult too

You’re a patent attorney. That’s as grown-up as you’re going to get.

Snuggle back, Dad.

It’s a hard life

Rare strip w/o Cal or Hobbes AND Dad w/o his glasses. And Calvin got the bug eyed scared look from Mon.

awww… that is sooo romantic!

If you could snuggle with a plush fictional character, who would it be?

And out of this snuggle a brother or sister for Calvin?

That’s the burden of being the “man of the house”, Dad!

This looks like a job for Gent! Where are you?

That is what the title Father is supposed to mean. It is hard to live up to sometimes, but that is the part of the job that deserves respect.

Calvin would say “Eeew”

So what’s Dad going to do if the thieves come back?

its called a guy thing!!!

Uh, hello Dad? Wife – remember? (Of course, seeing as this is how you got the kid in the first place…)

Because you are Dad.

‘Cause you’re the dad/husband, that’s why!

Well Mr What’s-Your-Name, enjoy it while it lasts, and don’t forget your Till Death Do Us Part oath (goin on 2-years since ’63 without her (RIP)).

Cause that’s what real men do. Step up and do the job.

Yes it’s the responsibility of spouses to comfort their wife!!

Just hold onto each other, Mom and Dad, and you can get through anything.

If you can’t sleep, make lemonade ! All night long….lol

Better not snuggle with her – you might get another Calvin…

Do what the boss says.

Just smuggle back.

This is as cute as Calvin’s mom gets.

If they do brake in she’d make a great shield against knives and many guns.

Well, yes, Dad; you DO have Mom to snuggle with for mutual support. And, sigh, there was a time when a man would willingly accept the responsibility of guardian of the household. signed, so tired of man-babies. Even given the role women have played in this, are our only choices gorillas or man-babies?

Time for Calvin to have a big dog??

If snuggling isn’t a two way street you’re doing it wrong.

There are some nuances of head of the family.

Not to worry, Dad…No one would accuse you of being the grown-up…..

You could just snuggle her back.

Yeah theres some trauma
