If you are a city official, Calvin knows every sin you have committed, and he has the pictures to prove it. He is so efficient and secretive no one even knows what his last name is. Using a well-oiled system of bribery and blackmail, Calvin keeps countless city officials and public school teachers in his back pocket. The operation is complex, involving dead drops, bribes, and round-the-clock surveillance to make sure no one suddenly decides to talk.

You can’t blackmail Roslyn when your parents have no other choice.

It’s like that idea just came to them.

Remember the episode when Rosalyn was phoning her boyfriend and Calvin used the extension phone to say “Your girlfriend is a psychotic kid-hater”?

Calvin, someday you’ll make a fine criminal.

ah, never knew that baby-sitters can smell fear in kids. Thanx for that tip, Calvin.

I think that’s the first time I’ve seen Hobbes show fear……

This is not going to end well, for Calvin.

See, this is why we shouldn’t leave our kids with babysitters. The poor people have to put up with our kids.

The range of emotions coming from Hobbes is a hoot. Panel #2, fear. Panel #3, determination. Panel #4, joy. Love that tiger

I always knew this kid was evil. In this one, he’s upping his game.

Blackmail is such a dirty word – just about every fim noir.

I love how the prospect of blackmail excites Hobbes…“Oh Boy!” LOL

This is kind of a lame Rosalyn story. They didn’t pick up until The Revenge of the Baby Sat, which I think is the next Rosalyn story.

Its not blackmail, its negotiations

I never liked Rosalyn, anyway!

Why bother listening in? If you are at the upstairs phone, order 12 pizzas and give her name and your address.
