Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 06, 2022

By having such a low price, he hopes to make his money by volume.

Inflation will solve that problem.

What’s that in today’s money, i wonder….

I guess there are worse deals than Calvin’s. None come to mind however.

good know, Calvin

Buyers market

Priced himself out of the market.

That was 30 years ago. So probably more like $25 these days. But the important insight is, of course, Hobbes’s.

I remember an old courtroom comedy where the punchline was, “Pay the two dollars…..”

Calvin would make a perfect politician in today’s world!!

The higher your price to lower you are as a person.

Ever wonder why so many in Congress and the Senate are millionaires….

Love must be enough, when you don’t have more!

Yeah, two bucks was quite a haul for a six year old back then!

Al Capone also believed that everyone has their price. The fact that he was so successful before being brought to trial and then only convicted of tax evasion supports his view. He is said to have preferred bribery to violence and would keep raising his offer to avoid having anyone killed but eventually reached a point where he stopped offering money and ordered someone’s death. He isn’t believed to have killed anyone personally but always had people to do it for him.

What’s the price?……Two bits twice.

Both, Hobbes, Both!

A rich guy once said, “I never bought a man who wasn’t for sale.” I think the devil works the same way.

“I’m not cheap, but I can be bought,” sez my lawyer.

He only needs 2 dollars for his first bet at the track, I think tigers can talk to horses, so then Calvin will never worry about money again.

I can still recall the time when I thought two bucks was a lot…

We will see what price Calvin’s parents will accept when Wissey Jones from United Lymphomilloid comes knocking at their door.

I can relate to this on a sub-atomic level. It hurts, lol.

So for $2 Calvin, you’d do all your homework without complaining?

But you need to keep the money in the refrigerator. Cold cash, remember.

“Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” ~ AC/DC, who ripped the line off from Beany and Cecil’s Dishonest John (seriously!)

“I want my two dollars!”

Make it up on volume.

Politicians have the market cornered. They’ll sell out anything or anybody for a buck.

If it’s to sell my house for cash to someone who wants to flip it and make it unaffordable for someone who actually wants to live in it… my price is very high indeed.

Shouldn’t the answer to “What’s your price?” be “For what?” There are any number of things someone might want to pay me for. Some will cost more than others.

Milhouse: “Why don’t you sell your soul to me?”

Bart: “How much you got?”

Milhouse: “Five bucks.”

Bart: “Deal.”

2 dollars aren’t that bad. I also wish this bridge was in color.

Even for people who don’t need it, people never get enough of anything. That’s why unhappiness is so rampant.

I remember when Spiro Agnew brought the price of a corrupt politician within reach of the average person.

At two buck, Don the Con will be calling soon on his bunner phone.

You get what you pay for.

Stormy Daniels price was $130,000. I wouldn’t do that for any amount. Not unless my memory could be erased right after it was over.

Calvin has to have something of value for people to pay him $2. What would anyone want that he could provide? Maybe his parents would give him $2 to leave them alone all day.

“Skin in behalf of skin, and everything a man has he will give…” NOT a good model for you, Calvin.

For reference, I received a $2/week allowance around this time. A child’s ticket at the movies was $.50 and most candy bars were $.05.

So, it’s not about finding your price. Its finding theirs.

What a frightening little child.

sounds like the entire demorat party…

Coincidentally, that’s also the going rate for C-Dog’s Incredibly Bad Advice. I guess some things just aren’t subject to the whims of inflation.

Calvin, have you seen those other comics where somebody holds up a sign saying “I will go away and not bother you for $2”

At least Calvin seems to get how supply and demand work.

Ten million dollars. I’m not greedy.

Simple, become a politician. Then you will be bought out (like they all are) for millions.
