Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 27, 2024

I wonder, if the FBI already has a file for Calvin?

Hobbes look like from the earlier strips

Being secretive for the sake its own sake is one of the best things about childhood. That’s why decoder rings and invisible ink were the best cereal prizes.

Ask the Freemasons!

They already have G.R.O.S.S.

Going secret to secretly seek attention…….

The local asylum has been alerted!!!

No one’s interested in what you’re doing, Calvin, other than your parents not wanting you to get in trouble.

That’s the secret of a good club.

Thus, GROS-S was born!

And where will this club be? I can’t say, it’s a secret.

Neat, the origin of the ridiculous GROSS.

[Can’t despise the little monster fairly for this, though. I was just as childish and rude to girls at Calvin’s age and somewhat beyond that. Although I don’t think I ever told one to get away from me because “I took a bath last Saturday and I’m all clean.” I was taught to bathe daily.]

Calvin is always up to something. That is no secret.

Everyone looks suspicious now a days. Especially to the FBI. Except for one particular political party, nothing to see here, move along.

True.

And write tell-all, expose’ books about it which are generally speaking, not true.

By now, the never seen neighbors probably are just bored at Cal’s many suspicious activities instead of interested.

Of course, one could actually be up to something.

I remember all of the “clubs” my friends & I started when we were little kids.

True.

I don’t have a good enough memory to join that club

So why would they want to be paid attention to? Since they’re always doing such mischievous things why would they want to be noticed?

Pure secrecy.

Here comes the longest story arc in the strip’s run: a whopping four weeks!

If you act secret to be payed attention to, does that mean if you reveal everything, no one will care?

Just ask the members of Skull and Bones. If any will admit to being in it.

Don’t they already have Get Rid Of Slimy girlS?

If it really was a secret club, none of the members would know they were in it.

Who thank God juice isn’t on this strip he is a ******** I didn’t actually say anything but yea

So, a bid for attention?

SMILE ! (It makes people wonder what you’re up to.

Calvin should be in jail he is an evil kid
