    The moment of truth is at hand.

    I still can’t figure out why dad lent Calvin his binoculars, knowing Calvin’s track record. Maybe they were old ones and he was testing Calvin’s ability to keep his word.

    Define “lent”.

    Lent is a period of 40 days where one practices abstinence from some activity or pleasure. In Calvin’s case he may have to abstain from sitting for 40 days.

    Also shades of “Hamlet” by William “Billy Bob Bubba” Shakespeare.

    (I’ve long wanted to try that out on some hapless audience, just because I could.)

    Probably dad wants pepper–but Calvin has become so afraid of being detected that he preponed the confession.

    Calvin’s conscience will be cleared after he tells the truth about breaking his Daddy’s binoculars.

    vibjyor said, about 10 hours ago I HEARD him say ‘Pass the binoculars’.

    Did Calvin’s father say that? He just asked Calvin to pass the salt or pepper.

    Once in my life I had no money at home and to cook for three children. When we should not die all, the only way to earn money, which opened, was to play organ in our church. I didn’t ever know to do it and I sweated the same way like Calvin! I played and I got so much money, that I was able to cook for my children for several days! Now we are alive till today!

    Since you made a premature confession…prepare for the inevitable tongue-lashing (which you preponed to tomorrow’s strip from 2-days-hence) Calvin.

    A guilty conscience will do terrible things to a 6 year old who has Hobbes for a friend. Calvin will have to tell the truth soon, It will be worth waiting for
