Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 26, 2025

The co-founder of G.R.OS.S doesn’t know all of his own rules?

Long before they could implement that “secret plan”, Susie’s mother will have arrived and taken her home!

D. Don’t share the secret code with a reporter.

The trending UPC code might be 190298000209.

Almost no one remembers Double Dutch, so incorporate that into your code.

I should have left a secret comment!

Susie will be home before the code is finished.

GROSS is nothing, if not thorough in the planning stages.

By the time you get yourselves sorted out, Susie will be gone.

I thought it was because the club excluded girls.

How about… “Secret Code”?

I want to see the entire contents of the Club Charter!

I remember when I was a kid my friends & I created a bunch of secret clubs, each with its own secret code. I had a book of codes so we had plenty to choose from. Each club lasted maybe a week.

And transmit it over tin cans and strings, it can’t be intercepted.

This arc seems as if Waterson was seeing the present. This week we are in a moil about improperly including a journalist in a classified meeting and sending him what normally would be Top Secret stamped information. Denied, of course, by all and sundry, including those who didn’t understand the whole thing to start with.

E. Be careful what you say; someone may know your code.

Can’t wait to learn the ’Secret Code"…. LOL

…….club password??

They wanted transparency, they got transparency, yet still there are people who have to complain.

Charters sometimes make things needlessly difficult.

At my hospital, Code Blue meant a cardiac arrest.

Signal works well. So does Twitter, formerly known as yelling.

GROSS has better OpSec than the executive branch.

That’s right, you don’t want to leak your war plans

Only these two could make childish misbehavior complicated.

You forgot Section IV, Article 12, bullet point three: DONT YAP ABOUT THE SECRET CODE WHERE PEOPLE CAN HEAR YOU

By people, I mean Susie…

I’d suggest Klingon or ubbi dubbi

Code Blue is NEVER cool…people can die in Code Blue.

Given Calvin’s attention span, that charter must have taken a long, LONG time to write up.

Just don’t say “Order 66” or we’re all in trouble.

Rules are rules.

Pete Hegseth (R-Drunk) approves this message.

The secret code is GROSS.

E: Do not ask ChatGPT to code the message.

It’s hard to believe this strip was written 30 years ago, not this week.

The charter has been written in consonance with this six year old. And the school, in particular, Mrs Wormwood has doubts on his intellect.

I get a headache just thinking about choosing a password .
