Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 28, 2020

Time to go fishing.

Now send them to school for another week.

Steer clear of birds, you worms.

I don’t want to get the book out, but I’m suddenly very curious how we’re going to get 4 more strips out of this arc…

It’s from Calvins mind remember

Four Calvin worms are going to meet Miss Wormwood? This can’t be good

They’ve become The Final Conqueror!

Isn’t that what girls call us, at one time or another??

It’s all in the mind you know….

Calvin knows what a Calvin duplicate would like to be!

Like they say in Mary Poppins, “Feed the birds!”

Bird food!

“Now quick, get them over to Susie’s house!”

I do not think that I would be happy if someone turned me into a worm.

Shoulda gone with bobbleheads.

that’s good… being so considerate of others…

Watch out for the Peanuts kids. There was a cartoon where they were “wormucking” (If I remember the spelling correctly.)——squishing worms.

Perfect plan, just like the last one!

Mom’s food isn’t so bad when you’re a worm.

Hehe, I bet the Calvin worms would all have much higher-pitched versions of Calvin’s voice.

All the more to make mom happy, too.

Hey; you guys want to go fishing?

I saw my first spring robin Sunday. Just saying.

Why not the tiny swarming dinosaurs from Jurassic Park?

It’s a little-known saying: “Happy as a worm.”

I wonder why Calvin never tried to transmogrify anyone other than himself or Hobbes, especially after he switched from the box to a gun. He’d especially want Moe to become a worm. Maybe on some level, Calvin retained enough sanity to realize it wouldn’t actually work. Or maybe he just has such a short attention span that it slipped his mind.

Thankfully they are not ear wurms!

I’ll bet he’s going to use them to gross out Susie.

Note: While the Duplicator goes “BOINK!”, the Transmogrifier goes “ZAP!”. This is an important distinction.

Should’a been clams, if happiness were a criterion.

Mom, Susie and Rosalyn in that order, right Calvin worms?

Calvin essentially created a new species of intelligent, talking worms.

So Calvin is showing sympathy for them despite the fact that they framed him?
