Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 18, 2023

Calvin is pretty accurate with the sucker gun…..

I’m surprised the Chief Alien d didn’t disarm Calvin.

I’d love to know more about Mom and Dad’s friends seen in this comic.

Next time, have Rosalyn babysit then visit whoever those people are.

A hero’s work is never done.

No mystery why Calvin has no siblings

Did the adults spill anything?

After seeing the last panel, my first thought was that Calvin dreamed about the whole thing.

How cool to have Monument Valley in your living room!

I don’t think that I’ve ever seen a ten-shot dart gun before!

Fast reloader, comic physics…..

At least the conversation just became about something better than copyright laws.

The relatives have got a first hand feel of Calvin’s exhaustive imagination. For a six year old, strangers do appear aliens. Calvin is not to be blamed.

On other strips—namely “Family Circus” and “One Big Happy”, I’ve suggested that the parents install deadbolt locks to keep their bratty kids out.

In this case, I’d suggest a similar lock to keep Calvin IN!!

In real life, I could never get suction cup darts to stick to anything.

Cut him some slacks. He was sleepwalking!

Three kill shots but mom is only crippled.

If I had done that my hind end would still be burning from the paddling I got…

Calvin, Nature’s way of limiting population of irritating offspring.

How could he reload that fast? That thing is single-shot.

Well, on the plus side, at least he used a plastic dart gun. That’s not really the norm of abnormal these days. …sigh

Screaming funny C&H — again !

Maybe Spiff just had the wrong kind of ammo.

Calvin, should really NOT get so involved in his dreams so that he takes actions ! ! !

Why were the aliens talking about Spaceman Spiff?

Just whack him with a pillow, Hobbes.

Pretty accurate shooting…

Of my three children, only one of them would hide under the stairs when he was supposed to be in bed to listen to what the adults were talking about.

snort. Gotta change my shirt, blew coffee out my nose!

I loved the “Excuse me a moment.” As parents we have all been there.

Calvin’s actually a pretty good aim. And a quick reloader.

Has anyone else wondered what they were saying about Calvin.

Well , Calvin has pretty good aim. Lots of head shots!! Lol

At least it wasn’t a water gun!

LOL… this kid is already living in his own alternate reality. Way ahead of his time.

Don’t you have to reload the darts into the gun after each one? Surely Mom could have grabbed him after 2 shots?

Heh, it looks like there are two Dads in the sixth panel!

I also like Hobbes’s quick cameo at the end.

Eavesdroppers rarely hear anything of value because context is EVERYTHING.

The kid’s a good shot.

I like the implication that Calvin’s name came up in the adults’ conversation. No doubt talking about how the kid causes so much trouble.

I had one of these:

Great comic art.

One of his better fun ones!!!…

Run, Calvin, run!

lol I love it !!!

The aliens are talking about you again, Spiff!

There are adults in this strip other than his parents? (And Miss Wormwood, and the principal?)

Quick and fairly accurate when it comes to shooting.
