Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 29, 2019

Have they thought about sending Calvin to summer camp?

You’d definitely lose that bet big time, Calvin.

boot camp would be better!!!

And if paint doesn’t work, try acid!

Nope, you had a better chance with water.

Mom knows how treat with the little brat .

I asked someone how he got flour into a balloon. He said that he filled a coke bottle with flour, inflated the balloon, attached the balloon the the coke bottle, flipped it over so the flour flowed into the balloon, and tied it off. You should be able to make a sugar bomb the same way.

I’ll take that bet, Cal. What are you offering?

You got off easy Calvin. I’d have grounded you for a month for that kind of insubordinate attitude!

And I thought I was a problem as a kid, no comparison.

I’m surprised the balloon survived the landing, well done Calvin

It’s rough being a kid when you have a Mom that doesn’t feed you cookies.

He’s just getting brattier and brattier… time for military school!

He won’t get any cookies but he’ll definitely get some hot cross buns!

This is probably the perfect example of why she’s a stay at home mom: they can’t find anyone who will take him (except for the well-paid sitter).

’You little thug"? A bit harsh from mom, but true.

Aren’t thugs Tracer Bullet’s mortal enemies?

You fill it with paint and make that threat, kiddo, and I promise not only will you be cleaning up the mess, but you’ll be standing up for a year.

We may be learning something here. He didn’t even ask before he sprayed Mom with the hose.

Such as Camp Lejeune?

He might have been allowed out of his room by his 18th birthday if he had.

No

Calvin hasn’t really figured out the “Mom thing” yet. He would not have gotten cookies even if it had been filled with fissionable material.

Don’t bet on it, kiddo.

Yeah, escalation. That’s the ticket!

If I had threatened my mother like that, there would have been little pieces of me all over the house. Not really, but I would have had a tender rump for a while.

His pop at Confession and Priest’s reply: “Wow, no Hail Mary’s nor Our Father’s for you ever. And as soon as a time machine is invented, go back and pull out in time.”

I wonder if Hannibal Lecter’s middle name was Calvin?

That would have been more fun if Calvin had landed on the balloon.

Calvin definitely needs the board of education applied to the seat of learning for that remark to his Mom…

My kids threatened me with water balloons and Super Soakers. Once. They learned two things. One: Dad’s crazy. Two: Dad and Mom paid for the house. So They can do s….. the kids wouldn’t dare! As they were sneaking thru the living room, I opened up on them from outside with the hose as they passed the open window.

Now mother is too strict in parting cookie with Calvin. What more can Calvin do?
