Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 28, 2008

LOL!

He could always go north, join the Alaskan Independence Party and secede with them.

wow this is my comment!!!

He should also request the keys for the car (save money!) :)

lmao nah i think he’ll head off to Sahara (((=

i think calvin could spend that money well but does he know how much is really on it????

I just went back and read the posts from after my bedtime last night (or during the World Series). A really good thread. We seem to have a few readers for whom English is not their native tongue. This is a great way to learn colloquial English (a VERY difficult language) and to expand your vocabulary. I first learned what “invulnerable” means from reading Superman comics as a kid. It’s also a great way for young people to learn to carry on an adult conversation. You don’t say things as an adult or to adults that you would say to other 12-year-olds, or that you hear on sitcoms.

Ray C – Reading posts is also a good way to learn about self-righteousness and smarminess. Or how to be unctuous and how to talk down to others. Or how to sound sincere and full of nonsense at the same time.

Calvin is definitely a politician…

See??? Mr & Ms Taxpayer see how I can make your income disappear

or Calvin can be the CEO of a large corporation

See??? Mr & Ms worker see how I can make your wages disappear

I dunno … Calvin’s dad looks pretty on top of things. Are M/M Taxpayer all that with it? We keep forking out the billions to anyone fatcat who says he needs ‘em.

And anyway, don’t read so much into it. Calvin just wants to escape from a horrible situation (-parents!) just like the rest of us do! ;)

Ah the beauty of AMEX… no credit limit! Go Calvin!!

Yukon Ho!!!

I noticed the way Calvin’s father’s face frowning while Calvin talked about the credit card. Will he fall for it? Naaah! He would not trust Calvin with his nonsense magic. lols!

yeah, secede from the govt but first i need some allowance!.. ;P

calvin i love u

Dad can tell when he’s being bamboozled. He’s an attorney (albeit a patent attorney).

Incidentally this is why I still hve faith that America will not allow itself to be bamboozled into a similar redistributing of the wealth.

If I didn’t know better I’d think this was drawn yesterday.

Wildmustang, you’re right. Calvin’s Dad is way too smart to fall for that trick.

sub prime dad?

dad will defintly know he’s being fooled but calvin is still v.v smart for a 6 year old ray.c this isn’t skool who cares if words are spelt wrong

LOL! nice trick calvin but i don’t think your dad would fall 4 that trick

this one is so cool that is very smart for him to ask his dad his mom would never have given it to hime. lol.

space-cadet says:

“dad will defintly know he’s being fooled but calvin is still v.v smart for a 6 year old ray.c this isn’t skool who cares if words are spelt wrong” Were you addressing me? I don’t think I mentioned anything about misspelled words. They do make an impression on people who read them, though, now that you mention it.

Plug!

What’s Calvin’s obsession with deserts?

Calvin should go to the Bahamas.

i wish i could take my parents’ credit cards. tee hee!

To Ray C: Me is agrees with you.

To BirishB: Also me is agrees with you.

How dumb am I?
