Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 04, 2024

Get a helmet cam and hold your hands out front so everybody can see you’re not doing anything.

Yeah, the tiger did it. Plot twist of the century!

Why not use a rope trap and tuna fish sandwich like you did the first time?

Why does Dad have time off while Calvin is stuck in school all day? No fair!!!

That’s pretty compelling evidence, dad.

Delusional, as usual!!

Ah. The real soon welcome I mentioned you can look forward too….

OR a therapist

Camera must be the same one which mistakenly rendered various dinosaurs into looking small and plastic.

The still picture is simply adorable!

Nice try, Calvin!

Pretty brave to continue holding the camera at that moment Calvin.

And what is it you expect your father to do? Get rid of Hobbes?

Then when the film from the video camera is developed, it will just be footage of Calvin throwing Hobbes. (Yes I know everyone but Calvin sees Hobbes as a stuffed animal)

Of course, if this took place today, he might very well be carrying around a device that could take videos. But I suspect that the video wouldn’t be convincing to other people.

This is really funny. The fact that the tiger is just leaping at the camera is a riot.

I’m amazed the camera survived!

This is genius!

The stuffed tiger in mid air is so cute.

Unfortunately, I don’t think that evidence would stand up in court.

That was an AI deepfake.

As we all know, Calvin’s dad is an expert on photographic matters. Look at how much he knew about color pictures!

I LOVE it!!!!!

It won’t matter, Calvin, your parents can’t see the magic.

That’s clearly not a Polaroid camera, and yet it takes a Polaroid picture

LOL…. Hobbes IS alive !

Pity nobody can enjoy the fast paced greetings by Hobbes to his little master Calvin.

There was an earlier Sunday strip where Calvin took pictures of Hobbes making weird and hilarious faces, and all Dad saw was a stuffed toy. Isn’t Dad at least curious enough to consider how Calvin could pull this one off?

Very funny event. But also a marvelous arc. Beautifully done.

He’s just glad to see you. :)

Heh, the photo makes it look as if the Mom tossed Hobbes out the door to Calvin!

Sure is a “toss” to me. Finally I get to see Hobbes!

Right, Hobbes tossed Calvin into the air. One can clearly see the baseboard on the wall. :)

Well Hobbes, not everyone gets good press.

A video camera won’t help. Just ask any Bigfoot enthusiast

Calvin’s dad needs better glasses.

I cannot conceive the chaos of Calvin with a smartphone

Slip in quietly and surprise Hobbes.

A good mobile is enough. You can make pictures and videos and don’t have to drag two devices!
