Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 31, 2022

It’s obviously a love letter.

Does the I.R.S even know that Calvin exists?

Another storyline I really love.

Sounds like an IRS motif

I’m surprised Mom either didn’t notice or just let it go.

Bu-dum-crash!

He sent the letter to himself!!!

it almost seems like Danae from Non Sequitur sent it lol

Susie has finally gone postal.

It’s either from Hobbes or Susie.

That Susie is such a flirt…..

It’s a reminder that he already owes the US government over $60,000, due to our debt. (He got the first notice when he was born).

My personal dealings with the IRS have been rather benign.

However, my business dealings were … as our lawyer put it. “You can take it to court and you will win, but they will send battalion after battalion of lawyers after you at taxpayer expense and it will cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars and years of litigation.”

We declared bankruptcy so instead of getting about $50,000 that we were paying off on a pre-agreed plan ahead of schedule, they got about $500 worth of used furniture. Also we laid off our 70 employees.

Would Susie Derkins put a skull and crossbones on the envelope? This mystery calls for Hobbes!

These days, Calvin, you never know…

I’m thinking it’s from Moe. Sort of a poison pen-pal letter.

Susie ?

I suspect Calvin sent it to himself.

Hey, maybe it’s an invitation for Spaceman Spiff to go to a Halloween party. He could dress up as a tyrannosaurus rex and cream the place. Now that would be epic!

So young, so wise

This is a really fun storyline. Be prepared for shenanigans.

I remember this wonderful story arc. There are many plot twists and people will disagree about the ending.

Cue the Beatles song

And his mother’s not concerned that she got such a threatening piece of mail?

Seems too subtle for Suzy. I’m thinking it must be his evil twin.

No, their logo is the Grim Reaper.

Probably more political junk mail since our elections are next week.

Oooh, perfectly mysterious for Halloween!

One of my favorite arcs.

Maybe someone is inviting you to their Halloween party.

Just because both death and taxes are sure things…

I.R.S = I Remember Susie

Its obviously the FBI

That would be my first guess. ;-p

Republican P.A.C.

So now we’ve started Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat? That was the first C+H book I ever got. Nice memories.

I remember this story arc from the cartoon book ‘Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat’. I won’t spoil it for the rest of you.

Nah, it is an appeal from the Republicans. . .
