Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 21, 2021

While Mom is teaching Dad basic biology, Dad will be reminding her that he wanted a weiner dog.

The last panel is my favourite! :D

Time to rent a water vacuum cleaner.

“Your son is awake” “Before sunrise, he is YOUR son.”

Couldn’t an innocuous shower works better?

And as she cleans the kitchen knife and puts it back in the drawer, we now know why they had no more children.

If I’d done that I would have ended up getting clean with a hose in the back yard

Ah yeah, the eternal marital argument. Whose kid it is?!? My dear friend and his wife almost pull each others hair over this. Good grades, of course she is mamma’s girl. Everything else – dad’s fault.

Mom seems to have missed the lesson on the difference between “urgent” and “important”.

She’d best let him go upstairs before the waterfall becomes a tsunami…

They both need to remember that it takes two to tango.

Wow a pink colored tub with a blue toilet seat! Calvin’s folks sure know how to decorate a room.

A cat that enjoyed being in the water?

We didn’t argue over whose kid it was, but rather whose side of the family he took after.

You know, with the right jury . . .

I remember seeing a comic strip some years ago (and I think it was Calvin and Hobbes), where the man came home from work and his wife said “Do you know what your son did today?”. The man answered “You mean my poor motherless son?” I guess it works both ways.

Don’t go…why risk another Calvin?

It was Dad’s idea to go parking back then!

My kid is great honey. Your kid needs some attention. Off with you. Go do parent.

Why do they leave him in the tub unsupervised?

I watched this insurance commercial about a water leak in the ceiling. The green spokescreature thinks it is a burst pipe and says that the insurance will pay for it. Then you see it is kids playing in a plastic pool and spraying water from a hose. I have a feeling said insurance company would balk at paying out a dime.

I though depth charges were for submarines.

As a father, I always blame the mother.

The USS Leyte (CV-32) was decommissioned (in 1970) long before the (apparent) twin tail F-14 could have been launched from her deck. She was home, however, to the first African-American naval aviator, Ensign Jesse LeRoy Brown of squadron VF-32 (Swordsmen), flying the F4U Corsair.

Better get a DNA test, Dad.

Dad wanted a baby girl

This has always been one of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes strips! :)

Calvin is the son of neither. He is a changeling, left by the fairies.

With pleasure comes responsibility.

C’mere=You’re in trouble ‘dear’.

Take Calvin out and make another kid, Old Bill Cosby gag.

The ‘PFOOM!’ panel panel artwork is priceless.

Better not let her explain. You can’t afford many more depth charge canon balls.

Hahahahah!

::tsk:: What do they expect? They will keep letting Calvin take a bath without supervision!

Still funny, all these years later … Thanks, Bill Watterson … :)

If a player hits the ball and it lands on an outfielder’s head, is it the batters fault?

most excellent

I love that Calvin is playing aircraft carrier!

How can you not love this cartoon? If it doesn’t go down as one of the top 10 greats of all time then my name is Nancy and I like Kale and Okra!

Dad: (comes over to mom)

Mom: (Sucker-punches him in the gut)

CV-32 the USS Leyte, was commissioned in 46, decommissioned in 59. I wonder if Maybe his dad served on it.

A-oo-gah (and other spellings) is a submarine’s Diving alarm… not something used on a carrier.

C’on mom and dad, what’s wrong with a little waterfall once in a while in the house.
