Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 07, 2024

Better the ravine than some unlucky pedestrian.

It’s okay, just call triple-A…..

Auto matic consequences

It’s so hard to find a good parking spot these days.

Watterson having fun with facial expressions!

Tell me, if that’s the family’s only car—how does Dad get to and from work? I kinda doubt that a lawyer would take public transportation.

What do you mean “we’re”, little boy?

Forget it, it’s now out of the way. Mission accomplished

This arc is better read in a book, where you don’t have to wait a day for the next bit.

Someone’s gonna’ get their backside ravine paddled.

I love Calvin’s expression in the last panel. :D

Great expressions all round……….

Calvin should climb into the car, then claim Moe the Bully tried to kidnap him and steal the car.

Maybe it’s still upright, or not…

There’s good news … and not-so-good news.

Stupid is as stupid does.

This reads like Waterson wanted to do an action scene but didn’t want to have to draw it, so he decided to just have Calvin and Hobbes narrate what’s going on offpanel.

“hooray, we’re dead’ love it

So G.R.O.S.S. will start its life with all dues going to pay off car repairs.

Hooray, we’re dead! This is one of my favorite lines from Calvin and Hobbes.

Wait, calm down, Calvin. Maybe it’s not the end of the world! Perhaps you can push it back into the garage before your mom sees it!

If this was Andy Capp it would have rolled into a canal.

good continuation to a funny arc 8.5/10

Calvin’s dad was wrong. It didn’t take another ten years until Calvin wrecked his car.

Calvin, you are so dead.

And to this day Calvin is still grounded

Didn’t all this occur because of their effort to create a club tbased on creating and having secrets? They’d have a secret code, secrete handshake and keep all sorts of other cool secrets? This looks like a grand opportunity for them to keep such a secret!

As punishment, Calvin won’t have to eat his Brussel sprouts tonight

I love Calvin’s face and line in the last panel.

your typical good news/bad news event

Let’s see…new front tire and wheels, probably new struts, too… and of course labor and front end realignment. Calvin will not be getting an allowance for a LONG time.

I can almost hear the conversation tonight over the dinner table. “You know, that kids military school in the middle of upper North Dakota is not such a bad idea. Don’t look at 15K/semester as expensive. We’ll actually save money at the rate Calvin is going. The brochure say they take 100% responsibility for each student… and also, we’ll be able to smile again.”

Even though this comic was penned some time ago, I offer Calvin’s comment as a slogan for today: “Hooray, we’re dead!” [Exclamation point added for marketing appeal — ed.]

What do you want on your Tombstone?

LOVE Calvin’s face. I thought you didn’t want to bother Mom? Well, you ‘bothered’ Mom now!

This episode have the unique expressions which are timeless.

Like others have said, Calvin’s expression in panel 4 here is awesome. : )

At least he didn’t hit someone else right?
