Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 31, 2019

Mom, you should be proud of Calvin for trying to protect you.

?

At least he didn’t get Dad’s .44 mag.

Same punchline as March 23.

It would only hurt a little Mom. You should be thankful that he cares about you and what is love without a little pain.

Paranoid much, Calvin?

Next time don’t warn her, just shoot.

Mom’s little hero, not!

“Get away from me.” Oh, how that brings back so many memories of you, mom.

She obviously moved. She was holding the flower pot when he told her not to move and the trowel when he returned.

Cal, you better be a crack shot with that suction cup pistol!

I used to have a fly gun. Worked like Calvin’s but had a waffle disk as a projectile. Don’t think I was ever successful swatting a fly with it. btw. I was afraid Calvin was going for his bat.

The horseflies are thick this year.

Interesting stairs.

My father-in-law used to sing, “Momma, get a hammer, there’s a fly on Papa’s head!”

Calvin offering to help is like having Attila the Hun say, Let me get that for you.

Calvin, don’t you have any lawn darts?!!!! lol

This was his big chance to (1) use the dart gun for something useful, and (2) get points from Mom. Mom had a chance to play with him, if she’d kept her back turned. Anyone think a rubber suction cup in the back of the head is going to injure you?

Spaceman Spiff to the rescue!

Gun violence in the daily comics?!? Well, I never!

Trigger alert – a kid has a toy gun – call CPS and warn his school that he’s a clear danger to everyone

Aren’t those stairs backwards?

Classic Calvin

At least he didn’t come back with a .44 Magnum.

I don’t think that a plastic toy gun will kill a horse fly.
