Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 24, 2024

Somebody is going to be arrested for pandering…..

That’s gonna be hard given Calvin’s need for over the top violence.

Dance baby, dance……..

Ah—they got their stolen TV back! I hope it still dances in mid-air when it’s turned on.

Don’t say TV isn’t educational. Before I was even old enough for school, I already knew over 100 ways to use an anvil.

I see Calvin’s back to his original self after trying to live the life of a fugitive for a while.

Joke’s on him. He’s now probably yelling at his kids to get off the Tik-Tok and watch regular TV like a normal person.

Get the wrestling on!

As the Theme song from Gunsmoke starts……

Just who is pandering to whom?

Wait a minute! Wasn’t the TV stolen?

Must be watching a news channel.

How relevant this strip still is…

No need to make that request. That’s all the box does.

The TV isn’t moving!

Pandering to the audience… Some things never change – ask any politician.

If television was going to pander to me, it would eliminate all commercials featuring prescription drugs, the fake gynecologist, the guy who wants men to buy into the jeggings craze, women in their underwear shimmying their fat rolls, potheads selling gummies, and the annoying Wendy’s guy.

Pander to me with your ada and I will pledge with my dollar.

Okay Im always wondering what kind of inappropriate 6 year old cartoons he is watching.

He already knows he needs chocolate frosted sugar bombs with added sugar

Cable News explained.

Calvin grew up to be Bo Burnham.

No. Go outside and play.

Calvin is absolutely the prototypical Millenial.

So I’m assuming the family bought a new TV to replace the one that was stolen.

Must’ve gotten a new TV after that robbery

I thought pander was one of those black and white Chinese bears.

I’m struck by the “antique” TV.

It’s TV, so it couldn’t be the NYT. To early to be MSNBC. Can’t be NPR.

That was me in the early 60’s!

Subtlety, thy name is definitely not Bill Watterson.

One of the best. So simple and so true.

Announcer: You are watching Fox.

Simpsons: (Zombie-like) We are watching Fox.
