Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 07, 2024

Dreaming you are on top of the food chain doesn’t make it so.

The fact that you could literally break something for starters, Calvin.

I just now noticed that the first two bits of Calvin’s dialogue are written in speech bubbles, and the third is written in a thought bubble.

That is a very impressive drawing of the dinosaurs

His mother should just lock him in the pantry!!

Dare I ask how he got up on the top shelf of the closet?

Mommysaurs aren’ t easy to face.

I’m surprised he can sit down.

It was only your mum’s best mug……

Talk about a coffee BREAK.

What is that stuff that Mom dropped? Beer?? Better not let Andy Capp see THAT, Mom!!

I’m impressed that the allosaur managed to get up into that tiny hiding space without leaving a trail of destruction behind him.

That was pretty impressive

For at least 25 years there was a supermarket in Malaga, Spain, called Super Diplo. Their mascot was a diplodocus. Why they chose that name I will never know. We used to watch for the supermarket from the train on the way into Malaga; we knew there were only about 10 minutes left till we got to the station.

Dinosaurs go prematurely extinct!

Yikes! I really feel for Calvin’s parents. Calvin is a little monster!

When my wife and her sister were little, they and their mom saw the movie “Psycho” (I know, what was mom thinking??) The next morning while mom was in the shower, they made a fake knife out of aluminum foil, and…well, you can guess the rest…

Super Sunday comic. Always love these episodes. Great laugh.

Nothing, Calvin…you just went about it in the wrong way…

The fact that I can sit down is proof I didn’t do that to either one of my parents.

Never carry a drink to the closet. I think we’ve all learned that now.

Bill flexing his artistic range yet again!

Allosaurs don’t care about breaking anything.

it would have been ok if mom didn’t have to go change her underalls.

Sadly, a repeat from Jan 30, 1994. Such a great comic strip.

By now, Mom should have learned to knock before entering the Twilight Zone… i.e… Calvin’s bedroom.

Still laughing, reminds of a great grandson

Calvin’s rich fantasy life is truly impressive. Where does a mind like this take one to?

It’s not the break, Calvin. It’s what you do during it.

Thanks Cal, mom’s now in the hospital

I’m glad to see Calvin back in the Jurassic Era. What an imagination.

Mom almost took a permanent break.

Here is your dose of birth control for today mom!

Unkind, Calvin.

I never did find out if Calvin survived childhood. Perhaps his parents have finally been paroled for strangling him.

I couldn’t handle being an allosaur. Maybe I’d start as a mostosaur and work my way up.

I like how the broken jar looks kind of like an egg splattered on the floor.

Fantastic cartoon art!!!

Oh good grief!!! How do you know that kid of mine!?!?

What a lousy allosaurus. By scaring away his prey, he’ll be stuck with eating carrion.

Did allosaurs really hide in the kitchen pantry? Hmmm . . .

It appears all you did was stare at a book without actually reading it, Calvin. You have to actually do work before you can take a break.

Calvin is lucky his mom’s “flight or fight” response didn’t kick in with “fight” or else he might be expecting a visit from the Tooth Fairy.

When the Diplodocus reaches maturity it is difficult for the Allosaur to take it down. They usually attacked the juveniles. Any feeding on the older ones was more along the line of scavenging.

Calvin is a good reason to not have children.

Worse…you spilled her coffee!

What a little punk! Although I must say I am impressed with his knowledge of dinosaurs, picking hard names and even knowing the proper era. So as punishment all his dinosaur books should be taken away from him.
