Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 13, 2021

I hope she gave Calvin a bucket just in case.

Calvin: The monster in the garage.

Just another hour and a half to go, C&H… maybe you’ll be senior citizens by then.

When babysitting, you have to have a plan…..

In the garage….with a car…..this does not bode well….

Who’s “Baby Doll”? A porn star?

Don’t let him push the car into the ravine again.

Calvin + car = trouble.

Half surprised she didn’t lock him in there with the engine running.

I lose the whole time continuum in reruns. Is this before or after he locks Rosalyn out of the house?

She knows how to keep Calvin at bay.;-D

Who knew? Hobbes is a southpaw.

Sometimes this comic is weird. Not only is this girl babysitting a kid who pretends his stuffed animal is real, but the girl (who is maybe 10 years older) has to pretend she is actually talking to her own plastic baby doll on the telephone!

He’s lucky to have her, i’d have tied him up and put him in an electrified barbed wire cage.

He’s lucky to have her, knowing that psycho kid, I’d have tied him up in barbed wire and put him in a 440 volt electricfied razor wire cage! Just thinking about what he’s capable of.

Rosalyn will NEVER want kids

Does she really think he can’t cause any trouble in the garage?

There are SO many dangerous things in a garage! Power tools? Car? Paint cans? Wouldn’t it be better to plop him in front of the TV and tell him he can watch ANYTHING he wants until 8?

Hahaha, check out Hobbes wearing a watch! :D

I would like to have a watch like Hobbes’. It seems to just appear when he needs it and not be there the rest of the time. That would be cool.

Back to a time where you could put a kid in a garage and not get reported for it…

Calvin’s lucky she didn’t confine him to the trunk of the car!

The GARAGE? Girl, do you have any idea what kind of trouble he can get to in there? (And, if the parents are out… why’s the car still there?)

Rosalyn looks too self-assured on the couch. I wonder what she’ll look like in tomorrow’s strip.

so she just lives down the street? gee you’d think there would have been more interaction over the years

That is one tough babysitter.

tsk. A bored kid is trouble waiting to to happen.

Carr: Them clothes got laundry numbers on them. You remember your number and always wear the ones that has your number. Any man forgets his number spends a night in the box. These here spoons you keep with you. Any man loses his spoon spends a night in the box. There’s no playing grab-ass or fighting in the building. You got a grudge against another man, you fight him Saturday afternoon. Any man playing grab-ass or fighting in the building spends a night in the box. First bell’s at five minutes of eight when you will get in your bunk. Last bell is at eight. Any man not in his bunk at eight spends the night in the box. There is no smoking in the prone position in bed. To smoke you must have both legs over the side of your bunk. Any man caught smoking in the prone position in bed… spends a night in the box. You get two sheets. Every Saturday, you put the clean sheet on the top… the top sheet on the bottom… and the bottom sheet you turn in to the laundry boy. Any man turns in the wrong sheet spends a night in the box. No one’ll sit in the bunks with dirty pants on. Any man with dirty pants on sitting on the bunks spends a night in the box. Any man don’t bring back his empty pop bottle spends a night in the box. Any man loud talking spends a night in the box. You got questions, you come to me. I’m Carr, the floor walker. I’m responsible for order in here. Any man don’t keep order spends a night in…

Luke: …the box.

Carr: I hope you ain’t going to be a hard case.

Oh look. They put a cable lock on the cell phone to keep from loosing it. Good idea!

When did Hobbes get a wristwatch?

A garage full of power tools? Would could possibly happen?

Did she really have to say, “It’s me” after calling him “Baby Doll”? Who else could he have thought it was?

Jeeze Joslyn the garage? What could posably go wrong….lol

Uh-oh…

If Calvin’s Mom and Dad went out on a date, why is their car still in the garage. They only have one.

If the car is in the garage, how did they get to the theater?

Oh Roz! Start the car!

You can’t lock up the kid in garage and get away with this dubious trick, lady.

Can she velcro him to something?

She deserves everything he does to her.

That’s the same mistake the “bad guys” always always made when locking up the A-Team!

Too many tools and too much opportunity to miss-use them!
