Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 17, 2022

Hope Hobbes doesn’t get jealous if he finds out Calvin has been talking to the neighborhood dogs.

Well that’s one way to wake everyone up.

oh, Calvin

That should keep the perps from stealing the catalytic converter from dad’s car

When the local coyotes set up a nice howl, I’m always tempted to howl along. And have a couple of times so do the neighborhood dogs. When the local wolves set up a howl, however, I just go inside. So do the neighborhood dogs.

A night or two in the doghouse should curb that.

The Calvin who cried “Woof!”

dad is barking mad!

No end to Calvin’s ingenuity, is there?

I have actually done this, and managed to set off all the dogs in the neighbourhood.

How to make friends with the neighbours. Accent on the Nay. (Yeah, I know it’s different spelling)………….

Will the neighbors file a petition ordering Calvin’s parents to buy a muzzle for their kid??

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog Cryin’ all the time You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog Cryin’ all the time Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit And you ain’t no friend of mine

Around here, COYOTES, do the job ! ( and, one can, get the dogs going ! )

Now we know who the ringleader is!

Around here, coyotes, do the job! (and, one can get the dogs going also!)

Calvin, that´s the wrong tree!

Front door opens out?

Never did find out who let the dogs out, but now we know who let Calvin in.

LOL - again !HAR!

He figured, if he can’t sleep, why should anyone else? LOL

Of course, this could be avoided if you get him a dog…

Could be dognappers are on the loose and the network is passing along the message, “Be on the Lookout”.

I suspect Hobbes had something important, or insulating, to get on the Twilight Bark. Don’t kill the messenger.

Get the rolled up newspaper;

should have been a full moon in the last panel…. ;-)

If Hobbes really was an influence, Calvin would learn to roar

Calvin might not be “The Cat’s Meow” , but he IS “The Dog’s Bow-Wow”!

The call of the wild does not have a snooze button.

My neighbors Dach’s see me out, bark at me I call their names and bark back. Funny

A genuinely demented child.

Don’t they lock the doors at night. Perhaps a dead bolt that Calvin can’t reach should be installed.

We all knew that Calvin would go to the dogs one day!

Yep, when one dog barks in my neighborhood it often sets off all the other dogs, including mine.

Neighbours worked nights. They had 4 dogs. A collie mix an three chihuahuas. . Slightest thing would set them off. 2,3 4 o’clock in the morning, waking us up. I tried. Asking them to put them up at night. Nothing. Got to a point that after they got home, I’d wait a while, and then go out in my yard and start barking, setting them off. after about a month of this, they put them inside at night.

This is the backlash of them putting him to bed at 7:00 every night!

I would do this as a kid. I would howl like a wolf and try to get the dogs to howl. “Arrr-rooooo.”

I’m not for corporal punishment, but how is it Calvin’s butt is not permanently red?

We had that situation for a while. I didn’t know whether I wanted to shoot the dog or shoot the neighbor.

Either one of them would have made me a hero with the other neighbors.

Fortunately, I have a lot of self-control.

I actually did that once, when I was a kid.

Calvin must have totally great “dog sounds”!

Time to take that boy out to the woodshed…

Hobbes will be very disappointed to find out that his best friend has a canine spirit.

Slightly amusing.

Dad took the time to put on a bathrobe? I guess he doesn’t wear much if anything to bed then.

To me the funniest thing about this strip is that Calvin’s dad is yelling like the kid’s across the yard instead of within grabbing distance.

Do we want to know the reason?

Sheep have conversations. Well, tones and coughs. It doesn’t take much to set them off. Too bad if you live close to the market.

Haha, didn’t remember this one. That’s pure brat mode!
