Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 22, 2025

“You’ll never take me alive, parents!”

You won’t like the sentencing part of the trial…..

You’re not guilty until caught

Coincidence, or a bit of premonition or foresight ?

The mother should set up trip wires at strategic places!!!

What’s your problem, Mom? There’s nothing there for him to break!

This is one reason they only had 1 child.

3rd panel, in the old days, reinforce it would be a paddling on the butt.

That’s okay. Some people feel they are above the law.

He found the loophole.

Needs the ol’ cling film across the doorway trick to slow him up. Or a body slam. Also known as the pit manoeuvre.

Calvin it sometimes too smart for his own good.

This strip makes it hard to resist getting political today.

I’m fighting it!

;o)

If we could only harness all that energy!

I fear for the kid’s future…

Until he runs by his dad and his dad trips his sorry little @&&

A lawyer in the making. We once told our son not to go over a fence that separated our housing area from a road. We saw him on the other side. He claimed he did not go OVER it, he went UNDER it.

They’ll enforce it all over your arsse, Calvin!!

All those Tom The Dancing Bug cartoons with trump as Calvin could be boiled down to this one strip

Sounds like some adults I’ve seen driving along the expressway…..they know the speed limit and consciously choose to ignore it….and then they get mad at everybody/everything else but themselves when they get pulled over.

Heading for Baby Blues and Hammie? htTps://www.gocomics.coM/babyblues/2025/02/22

Cal is pushing the envelop of possibilities.

Wow. How prescient.

Get out the lasso!

It’s best to get a good head start.

……he does mean “all”!!!!

To Children and Politicians laws are only applicable if you’re caught.

said it before and saying it again… no law should be enacted that will not or cannot be enforced. (it only breeds contempt for law)

Calvin didn’t know about Tom Homan when he said this thirty years ago.

Good Lord, he IS the Orange One…

All it would take to enforce it is one well-placed coat hook on the wall. He can’t run through the house if his feet can’t touch the ground.

Good point…

Free at last! Free at last!

Calvin is onto something governments discovered millennia ago.

That’s why laws specify punishments after the fact instead of enforcement.

Once again Mr Watterson is prophetic.

Not prescient or anything.

When I was a kid, I used to get up on the roof of our house. When my mother saw me, she would holler “If you fall off that roof and break both your legs, don’t come running to me”.

Calvin go out to the yard and get all that running out of your system. Where’s Hobbes?

I feel like I saw this one very recently, but I rewound to the 1st of the month and no dice

I’d make a future lawyer joke, but that would be low hanging fruit.

Reminds me of a guy who’s been in the news a lot lately.
