Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 16, 2019

One day — maybe not today — Calvin is going to have to confront the bully.

Hire a pro wrestler

This don’t look good.

For now, just walk away Calvin. Try to outsmart him next time.

FIGHT FIGHT! Sissy and a bully!

Sigh! Calvin asking for Mo’ of it!

It’s a shame you didn’t give yourself time to grow into it

If you need proof that Hobbes doesn’t exist other than as an inanimate doll, this is it. Or do you think that Calvin would be too morally principled to have his friend take care of business?

This is when you wish you had friends to take the bully on as a group.

Calvin, pay him to be your bodyguard.

If only an anvil could appear in the sky and fall on Mo.

Kick him in the groin, clap your hands on his ears and slam his face down into your knee. If feeling particularly nasty, finish with an elbow to the back of the head.

C’mon Calvin, hit him hard, if you do he will respect you for it….

Either the bigger they are, the harder they fall or go for the groin.

Play the long game Calvin. Get a good education, get a job at a bank, work your way up to bank manager and when Moe is in arrears you can take away his truck.. or forgive him and show him how to be the better man.

Moe doesn’t fight fair (picking on little kids) so neither should you Calvin. One well- placed kick and you can walk over to your truck and take it home. I doubt Moe is expecting that from you.

Or accept the challenge to fight, with a referee to make sure it’s fair. Then ask a teacher to be the referee.
