Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 14, 2021

Interest free loans? I see a career either in real estate development or politics — or both — in Calvin’s future.

Eventually it will turn into a game of Calvinball.

I still want the toaster oven

Monopoly? I think solitaire in separate rooms for these two. Better yet, separate floors

Ah, the classic game of capture the flag.

Mom will still be disappointed when they actually play Monopoly.

You don’t even get a year supply of Rice-A-Roni?

Why is it that I can’t avoid thinking that Calvin will grow up to be a Republican? Is it in his nature?

It’s weird how Calvin thinks that Hobbes is a real tiger even while Hobbes is sitting in a washing machine.

Is this where Trump got the idea for giving big businesses interest-free loans?

“Strudel brain” – yup i like that.

Interest-free loans and an interest in politics… Calvin is starting to remind me of a few things.

Gotta love the inventive flow on this one.

Which one is “Oatmeal Face”??

Please Bill……Get out of retirement. You need to bring them both back!!!!

And when you do win the luggage, toaster oven, patio furniture and mega gas grill, the Sunfish sailboat, the week in Las Vegas, the years supply of Spaghetti-O’s, the home condom maker, the new bedroom set, the wide screen color TV and… The Brand New Car!!! You are responsible for paying all shipping AND taxes.

I say, now that Hobbes is duly occupied in the last panel, now is the time to get the flag.

The final panel of this Sunday page works perfectly on its own. All the rest is just a really nice bonus.

Oatmeal face? Strudel brain?

Language, gentlemen…

A day in politics.

Calvin will grow up to be a republican.

So who gets you out of jail when you’re in it? Wouldn’t the other player be able to win pretty easily?

Just like siblings:)

New rules seem to pop up not long after a “sure winner” loses.

Hobbes is in the wash machine! Oh, too funny!

Capture the Flag… Calvin-style.

Calvin might enjoy Monopoly with Ted Forth. :)

time to wash the stuffed animal. Nice touch, where reality and imagination blend.

Custom games were so much cleaner before Forge.

I always like these Calvin and Hobbes “discussions”…

Happening on Thursday! November 18 is the anniversary of the first newspaper appearance of “Calvin and Hobbes”. Happy Anniversary, Mr. Watterson! You can’t know how much you improve your readers’ lives.

Heh, I like how Hobbes kind of looks like he’s playing a violin in the sixth panel.

Yet another of Watterson’s great Sunday strips from this period. And from that early panel, it shows Hobbes is apparently a game show fan.

Play Battleship, its cleaner.

Hobbes doesn’t need luggage or a toaster oven.

Hobbes should filibuster

Calvinball. It’s always some form of Calvinball.

If you can’t make up the rules to suit your own needs, why are you even on the rules committee?

Another rule changing game that ends in two losers.

Looks like a future for both in politics.

This is one of my favorite C&H strips- so funny!

Sounds like Calvin is headed to become a corporate CEO and one percenter.

Since Hobbes might be imaginary, only Calvin and Jim Carrey (in Liar, Liar) can beat themselves up.

“Muffin head” … them’s fighting words! Made me laugh.

“It automatically is a time out.”

Ahhhh—the strip that begat CalvinBall!!!!
