Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 02, 2009

That’s it! Wait until he’s gasping for air and make your escape!

I am too anxious right now to know what will happen when dad comes to know. It is really nerve wracking.

this is all HIS fault

now now calvin.. why are u bringing hobbes in ? it was you who broke the binoculars ..

I’m very happy right now, so I’m sorry that I can’t help you right now Calvin.

Hobbes, you are not helping, are you? Good luck to you, Calvin!

WE, Kimo Saubie?

A coronary for Dad?! You’re freaking me out, Calvin!

EMET you just wander real close to that grizzly for a good look, OK? Thanks!!

Calvin, he could just go balistic.

Good thinking, Calvin….you can make your getaway hiding in the ambulance under dad’s gurney.

EMET said, Who needs binoculars when you could just walk closer to what you are looking at?

Like JFri said, don’t try this with a Grizzly. They can run 40 mph up hill.

————-

Calvin, choose one of the following: a) Hobbes did it. b) Someone stole them. c) They fell out of the overhead bin when I was doing that barrel roll. d) Susie did it to get me in trouble. e) All of the above.

Indeed, it is always the parents’ fault when their kids break something. At least, that’s what I said when I wrecked the car.

Yukoner: insulting Susie is even worse than breaking those binoculars.

Hobbes always has the right answers.

Things could be worse! At six years old life goes on to better things to break.

Honest Dad, I was just looking at them and they broke

That’s it Calvin, blame the victim. You’re almost sounding like a politician now.

Pleeeeezeeee……….Don’t mention Calvin and politics in the same sentence….aren’t we in enough trouble now???

Charlie has it right. Calvin can come to Canada for some left over Canada day cake. Oh is it good, strawberries in the pattern of a maple leaf. Yummy!

First Timer Here… Posting that is.

Lucy knew what to do some 20 years earlier.

Coronary? I thought that was a little yellow bird that tweets and pesters Sylvester.

Calvin, play the Blame Game. Example: “Moe did it”!

If I remember right, tomorrow we get to see the damage. Dad’s reaction will be delayed a couple of days.

JFri, you crack me up!!

not a very good IDEA, Calvin!

Hey, when you’re desperate, you’ll think of anything that might work! Go, Calvin!!

Dad, why did you loan me broken binoculars?

Musicnut, that is a fantastic album; bring back many fond memories ( yeh yeh here comes the off-topic police)

…. it’s already big punishment to feel soooooooo bad for such a long time ;-) oooohhh calvin……..

Why keep punishing us ? I think it’s about time for Dad to find out that it is all Susie’s fault somehow or another.

Calvin is all panicked about what might happen HIM, but thinks a heart attack for Dad is a great idea. Children are basically self-centered and we don’t improve much.

@Yukoner and JFri, that pretty much applies to watching bison also. For a big animal, they are fast and agile, and unpredictable. Best to stay off and use the binocs.

cleokaya: i like your response !

i wonder if maybe dad didn’t make a switcharoo and put a pair of dime store binoculars in place knowing how calvin is

I have editted out the first panel “We’re doomed! We’re doomed!” Calvin to use as my screen saver. ;-)

Yup it’s dad’s fault…. Calvin you’re in BIG trouble.

Bald: That’s what I have been thinking the last two days. We’ll see I guess!

Goodquestion: No thats a canary ^^

Hobbes has the right idea, just tell him. Most people will forgive and forget… but it IS expensive. Tell him and/or run. Tough decision ^^

Hey, it’s the price parents pay for all those hugs and kisses!

Oh so now its dad’s fault???????????????

LOL

Some of us readers have been saying the same thing Calvin’s now saying – and saying it for days now, if memory serves. We all kind of saw this coming.
