    wolfbyte, i remember maturity being defined as ‘the ability to listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of The Lone Ranger’ but i’ve never quite managed to do that. Who was that masked man?

    When I was a young lad, a favorite game around the corrals was to find someone bending over the loading chutes and acquaint them with the business end of a Hot Shot.

    Funny, Hobbes with that cowboy hat.

    Please, can someone explain “cattle prod” ?? I’m living in a foreign country and I looked it up in a dictionary, but I didn’t find an explanation.

    Yes, such a self-satisfied look knowing he got one over on Hobbes. I also love the drawing detail, with his hand going from a gun in the first panel to obviously holding a cylindrical object in the third panel. Kudos Bill Watterson.

    ROFL To Leonardeuler: From Wikipedia: A cattle prod, also called a stock prod, is a handheld device commonly used to make cattle or other livestock move by striking or poking them, or in the case of a Hot-Shot-type prod, through a relatively high-voltage, low-current electric shock

    Leonardeuler, a cattle-prod is an electrical device which gives a shock to a cow or bull to prod it to move.

    Leonardeuler, a cattle prod or “hot Shot” is a battery operated shocking device used to move cattle along when they are in confined areas. They vary in shape and size, and deliver a non-lethal electrical charge when pressed against the animal. As a kid, we used to have great fun zapping one another with them.

    Old west revolvers varied in capacity. There were the old single shot breach loaders. The five shot revolvers. The six shooters really made way for the side arms. I’m surprised Calvin didn’t raise his other arm and say he was using his other six shooter ….

    Yes Wiseguy411–explained in second panel (where Calvin is the rustler and Hobbes the “good” cowboy).

    Or (for Comic-Nut) he could easily have pulled out a boot-gun (wee single-shot pistol), but I guess he didn’t think it apt as those aren’t ABF cowboy boots (well, he could have imagined his shoes were cowboy boots, right?)

    (I remember at a church I used to attend, the associate-pastor’s son almost always wore cowboy boots–and termed them “army boots”–to service)

    Thank you guys for the explanations (that just shows how stupid I am). I can imagine a lot of “applications” with such a device.

    Or he could just use a revolver from many of the earlier Westerns. They seem to hold 20 or 30 shots at least–nobody ever seemed to need to reload!

    Calvin: I know what you’re thinking. Did I fire 5 shots, or 6? In all the commotion, I lost track too. You’ve got to ask yourself. You feeling lucky, Punk? Well, are you?

    Hobbes: NO! You’ve got a cattle prod. I’m not that lucky.
