Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 19, 2022

Mom better not infringe on Calvin’s 1A rights!

oh, you just love the gore, don’t you, Calvin?

I see some parental guidance on the horizon.

You’re really just telling on yourself, Calvin.

You put your foot in it now

What happens when he skips his meds!!!

Now, he’ll have to read “Sally finds a jump rope.” I don’t know if there is any real book with that name.

The sad part is Bill is more creative in his violence than most dark age writers. Most of them wish they coudl’ve thought of ibeam through the torso> That’s brutal

Getting your kidneys punched out with an I-beam definitely would hurt.

Are I-beams three more times powerful than C-beams?

Did Mom buy this for Calvin? Under what premise?

“Make him stop.”?? To Mom and Dad, Hobbes is just a stuffed toy!!’’

Next step: call in a child psychiatrist!!

Nice going, Calvin…now you know Mom’s going to keep an eye on your reading material!

A little too much information there sport.

Hey! Don’t leave us hanging, how does Captain Steroid escape??

I’ll bet Hobbes does this on purpose too.

who bought the magazine. Calvin has no money and he cant cross the street alone, that is why he is always in the wood.

Who the heck is swinging an I-Beam?! That’s some nasty bad guys!

Hobbes, the spoiler before there was an internet.

As one might expect, Calvin talked himself into a two-on-one disadvantage!

Actually, she would be reading it second.

Why are they called “comic” books?

You can NOT stop a tiger when he is in a “spoiler mood”. :)

Sounds like a gut-wrenching tale!

That’s pretty much like my brother when he reads the Sunday newspaper comics before the rest of us. “I already read ‘em. And Garfield went and [describes punchline/final panel of strip], and Jeremy of ’Zits’ [describes punchline/final panel].”

Mom is concerned over exactly what Calvin is reading. Plus, that Calvin thinks his stuffed tiger is reading… hmm.

There’s just something special about a ‘virginal comic book.’ No fingerprints, no bent or soiled pages…Usagi Yojimbo must be read in Zen.

Calvin is reading Blood and Guts, issue #187

Now how did the little dickens get a subscription to True Detective Magazine?

Sounds like a quality “Image” comic book with limited edition holofoil cover by Rob Liefeld.

Why do you think God put all that padding on the backside? Spanking a child is not considered corporal punishment in my book.
