Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 14, 2021

I’m surprised Calvin can even carry a bat that seems to be taller than him, let alone swing it!

Batter up!…..

Some parents refuse to accept responsibility for their mistakes.

A little brain?

More like “wrong answer”.

Calvin can sit down ??!!

When I actually LOL, it’s usually this strip.

At least he and Hobbes aren’t playing Calvinball in the house; think of the additional damage that would be wreaked.

He put all of his good qualities into a clone that disappeared. Maybe this is what’s left.

It’s days like this that Calvin’s folk wish they had gone with Plan A; “Buy a puppy.”

That baseball bat would seem like a dangerous temptation for Mom…

Dennis the Menace 2021.

Probably one of the many good reasons why you have no siblings

I hope he remembers all these when he grows up, and at least tries to make it up to his parents…

In his defence, he thought they were Nerf rocks.

I was a couple years older than Calvin when I gave a very similar response. They didn’t have a legitimate comeback either.

Pretty good model of an F-4 on the nightstand.

Calvin had to think hard for that funny answer; he’s scratching behind his ear.

I don’t think there was going to be any “good guess”, Calvin!

Bad Watterson?

Any kid who never heard the phrase ‘’What were you thinking?’’ must have been a very boring child.

April 12 Happy Only Kid Day :)

Excellent use of science to blame someone else for your mistakes. Calvin Rex. …no. Calvin wrecks.

Hey, at least mom didn’t go all first-person on him!

He’s YOUR son.

Look at that face palm!

calvin strikes again!

The truth hurts. Both of us.

how many lamps has that family (Calvin) been through?

The age old question – nature, nurture or nutter.

lol

Next time, Calvin will know better. Just baseballs. :)

where was Hobbs ?

Mom will change her tune when Calvin turns out to be a professional baseball player. Yeah, that ain’t happening.

Calvins not sure which end of the gene pool he’s from.

Great drawings of the Mom yelling!

Only a complete idiot would think it is ok to hit rocks in the house with a bat. Note that Hobbes is smart enough to be hiding.

Calvin has rocks for brains.

Bad parenting?

OK. where is Hobbes? Maybe a can of tuna, can buy us a good explanation.

He shouldn’t be able to sit down.

I’ve hit rocks with sticks since I was a little boy, especially at the beach, and I still do. But, you know, I’ve never done it inside the house. Fortunately, there were no rocks or sticks in the house so I wasn’t tempted.

No wonder Calvin’s Mom is mad. Hitting rocks is really bad for a baseball bat.

My bro found some tar but it had hardened so he built a fire to soften it – on the wooden floor or our house.

Alabama’s Song “Mountain Music” references playing baseball with chert rocks, using sawmill slats for bats.

yesterday was a philosophical discussion about the existential crisis inherent in our temporary existence, today he’s just an idiot. No, I don’t care if “he’s 6,” this is the action of a stupid person, kids don’t DO this…

Must be a recessive gene. Each parent has only one copy, but the kid gets two.

“Nature or Nurture” it’s still the parent’s fault.

Good on Calvin for not blaming Hobbes.

He’s a boy!

Probably that’s why you do not have a sibling.

haha. Thats a funny reason

Ohhhhhh Calvin. Always JUST the wrong thing to say.

Is it any wonder that Calvin’s mom hasn’t got any white hair yet?

I have to admit that if either of my kids had ever said that, I’d have cracked up. Then I would have sent them to their room.

What a reactin. HA HA!
