Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 29, 2020

Hobbes is going to get some smooches.

Calvin, you louse, you fell for it!

Well at least he stood guard and watched for Susie. Just as he was asked!

Serves Calvin right.

NOW you know what it means, Calvin!

Uh-oh spaghettios!

“Sorry buddy. She bribed me with smooches!”

It might have been better to leave a long note that wasted his time.For the money you’re due, I’ll leave you a clue. Roses are new and violets are blue. The money you’re due is not in the flue.

Sucker!!!!

KARMA!

Payback’s a mother.

Turnabout is fair play. Calvin stole Suzie’s doll, Suzie spirited Hobbes away.;D

Called that.

What an awkward situation, how in heaven will it go.

The strip covering the release of prisoners should be interesting.

Calvin is lucky Susie didn’t pound him and I bet that Hobbes is going to love being Susie’s hostage.

Do NOT mess with Susie.

One more week of this story arc to go. As I’ve mentioned, Hobbes seems to be just a stuffed toy for a while but it ends with a suggestion that he is aware of what happens when he isn’t with Calvin and knows things that Calvin can’t know.

ROFL! So much for Calvin’s riches!

TOUCHÉ !!!

“How will this all turn out…tune in Monday for the next weekday episode of “Calvin and Hobbes!”

Tigernapped!

Hosed!

Didn’t see that coming. Now Calvin gets a taste of his own medicine.

I think It means you owe Susie a hundred bucks.

There you go.

I thought she was going to pound him, but this is even better!

Thicker’n a BC pine

Of course she kidnapped Hobbs. I think I remember this one from when it was originally printed. I think Hobbs is going to enjoy his time with Suzie and not want to come back.

Hasn’t ‘Calvin’ learned that he can NEVER depend on ‘Susie’ to do what he wnats her to do ???

Payback Calvin, remember Susie is smart.

Well played Suzie, well played.

I am looking forward to the hostage exchange.

Well stories for children are a reflection of society as a whole. At least they have gotten gentler. Before, children were taught cannibalism (Hansel and Gretel cooked in the oven) and murder (Snow White poisoned by an apple), and anti marriage (Snow White living with 7 unwed men.) Now today, children are taught only extortion and kidnapping.

Glienicke Brücke time.

HeeHeeHee you go Susie!

Haha!! Susie gottcha!!!

Calvin: Now you know how “2020” feels!

Susie will have tea parties with Hobbes, and Hobbes will love it.

Ah, a nice dose of reality.

OMG! Hobbes! Hobbes! She’s going to serve him tea!

I just started “The Last Kingdom” series and that lengthy religious thread reminded me that the pagan Danes (Vikings) played by the same rules as the Christian Saxons; just different managers.

Will Calvin escalate? Will he hold his ground until his adversary relinquishes? Will Calvin ask for forgiveness and cease hostilities? Will there be a meeting in the middle of the bridge with Tom Hanks observing the exchange?

Will Hobbes make any thoughts from either side come to a halt with that burning question:

Don’t you think that I’m going to have a say in all of this?

Open the page next time for As The Calvin World Turns!

Hard to believe that a mere girl could outsmart Calvin.

They need a neutral site for the prisoner exchange…

Good for Suzie. And Hobs likes girls.

Not hard to see why Susie is better than Calvin in school.

Go, girl!

Incidentally, I just watched “Taken” last night.

Wonderful pay back Susie. Give Hobbes lots of love so he’ll be happy.

It is a COMIC. Just laugh or leave.

I wonder when Hobbs gets the “Puff the Magic Dragon” treatment?

Now the game’s afoot, Watson.

oh, NO

Not Hobbes!

That is a master stroke by Susie. An eye for an eye. As for Hobbes, this is life, being hugged by the cute damsel! All is well that ends well.

Karma is the best teacher.

Called it!

I need the countinued part!
