Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 15, 2010

Not in this particular case.

Lol.

God may let you plea bargain and may even forgive you for your trespasses. Mom…not likely!

Calvin’s in for it now unless he comes up with a convincing story.

Run away Calvin, run and don’t look back. Pray that Mom doesn’t find you either.

Remember that trip to Mars….It’s time pack up and go for another one….

What gets me is how long did this carry on before Calvin was aware of his rampage?

First thing mom’s gonna say is “GASP” and faint dead away.

Hobbes did it Mom. Why doesnt she believe you?

Earthquake!

Use the twinkie defense!

Yes, where was mom? This could not have been done quietly.

OMG!!

I’d plead insanity. It’s the only credible defense you have, since you’re half crazy most of the time anyway.

OMG!–catastrophes of biblical proportions definately require God’s help.

Start cleaning up now, if you know what’s good for you Calvin.

On the upside, the Mets are on the phone Calvin…

Good point Hobbes.

they should’ve played outside…definitely!

I know, it’s just a cartoon. In “Calvinworld,” mom is the immediate concern. However, couldn’t help but think of this verse:

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28

Last week it was the Venusians. I.d tell mom you were stalked from Mars this week.. That leaves the Jovians free for next week. Push comes to shove, “The Devil made me do it!”

Oh my Calvin, I think you need a very good lawyer to get out of this one… Hobbes are you up for the job?

If I were Calvin I’d start saying my prayers.

Bill outdid himself drawing the one!

Oh I’ve seen worse. On the other hand, if Mom sees you working to clean it up it might go easier on you.

or may be god would have to plea bargain with mom.. for making calvin!

calvin, moms going to catch you, then she’s going to sing “piece by piece” just before she kills you

I think Calvin’s mom is gonna be the one god gives the plea bargain to, after what he’s done infanticide could be a forgiveable sin ;)

Hurricane Calvin strikes again. I know. No flooding but lot’s of wind damage.

Best. Comic. Strip. Artist. Evar.

Don’t worry Calvin, the time you wrecked the car was worse and you lived through that. Besides, sitting is overrated.

Calvin on another whirlwind tour next stop his room. Uh whats this Update…Due to an unexpected illness Calvin will not be playing in the next game. To be continued…

I thought Calvin considered atheistism because God wouldn’t make it snow, Now he wants plea bargaining? Typical agnostic.

At last he didn’t need ‘roids to do this.

cellecca: funny. hahaha.

Coming to an arena near you(ok, living room): Indoor Calvinball

Calvin, the other day you were asking your mom how much did she pay for you…well… counting this… she’ll definitely be in debt…

and yeah, for the way out… tell her that you didn’t go out to play as she wasn’t at home and give her those angelic looks(if you have them… )

After Calvin, I imagine BOTH parents use birth control.

offer mom a trip to calgon spa maybe before she sees the living room

Call for the Cat in the Hat: Thing 1 and Thing 2. They’re your only hope! They’re only a drawing, you say? Then be glad you are too!

(I’ve had dreams where I’ve been in as much potential trouble as Calvin - or worse. Then I become aware that I’m dreaming and realize my solution is to wake up!)

Can I wake up now?

Gweedo Murray said, about 9 hours ago:

“I think Mom will be going up on child abuse charges for this one.”

Only if she leave him breathing… Mom might be the one who needs to “Plea Bargain” because I don’t see him still breathing for very much longer anyway?

I have only two words. You are DEAD MEAT Calvin.

Did anyone else notice the small homage to Bil Keane…the footprints?

Calvin, if you’re going to play Baseball indoors, do it someplace like in the Metrodome

God allows everything. Just look around.

wow

And this isn’t even as bad as the noodle incident!

Too late to plea bargain. I would advise Calvin to flee before a death sentence is imposed. Most likely a summary execution. Hide the bat. And the knives. And any household firearms immediately.

Exhibit one foot prints Calvin you went to far The foot prints would save an innocent boy BUT

There was the binoculars, and the car incident (several actually, but especially: Hobbes: “How bad? Could it be repaired?” Calvin: “If we imagined that we could find the car, we might possibly suppose that it could be repaired…” (reading from language pamphlet): “¡Hola, senorita! I am el fugitivo!”), and, of course, the Noodle Incident.

He’s survived them all–so far.

And he’s right. God is into forgiveness. Moms too, usually–but it can take a little longer.

—————————————————————————

USE birth control HELL!!!!! If I were Calvin’s mother, not only would my tubes be tied, my husband would have a vasectomy too … just to make “doubly” sure no more little Calvin’s would be running around!!!

Or, better still, if I were mom, I’d just stop having sex altogether and that would, indeed, ENSURE there’d be no “accidents” leading to more little Calvin’s running around, trashing my house!!!!!

Where she’s come up with the will power NOT to have killed that kid by now I DO NOT KNOW!!!!!!!!!!

Since Calvin is a cartoon figure, I guess Watterson solved the issue by not drawing Calvin anymore.

@ Mea: Human’s were given free will. God cannot stop us from destroying the planet and each other- we chose to do that ourselves.

Talk about wreaking havoc!!

@Shikamoo, However, the Lord Jesus Christ will return to take over and save the world from itself. Half the population of the world will die in the tribulation period (see Revelation), but His second coming will keep humankind from total annihilation. “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Matthew 24:30

And Calvin thought he was in trouble a couple of days ago. Although, she just might use the ‘ole’ standard– ‘WAIT TIL YOUR FATHER GETS HOME!!!!!!’ and let him go up on child abuse charges. She’ll at least get to see him on visiting days-every second Tuesday of the month.

caliven:it was hobbs falt!! mom:DROP DEAD CALIVEN!!! HOBBS:he he he!! ha ha ha

Kinda looks like my house.

This has GOT to be the hugest destruction I’ve ever seen in a Calvin strip. It overflows a strip-wide panel, and it’s pretty severe. Awesome.

I agree with dsom8 [hey, great screen name], who said it about 20-30 comments ago: Thing 1 and Thing 2 are Calvin’s only hope.

run calvin,don’t stop,mail a post card after a few years,you might be forgiven by then.lol.

Right on Hobbes

Your miserable, 1 nerve mother? And wait till your boring, apathetic father gets home!

You did a heck of a good job there Calvin.

That would be one of those days when I’d just surrender and say I don’t even want to know what happened. I’m going to bed and I’ll deal with it in the morning. You can help me clean up then and we’ll figure out your punishment while we’re doing it. At those times you have to feel blessed that the house is still standing and no one got hurt.

Another one word reaction………………………………..WOW!

Just wondering if any of the aggressive proselytizing has ever proven to do anything besides annoy people?

I wish I could draw this well.

Run away, Calvin. Run away before your mom comes home and gets arrested for child abuse.

Calvin, you’re in big trouble, mate.

It was a tornado,mom,i swear
