Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 26, 2010

And so it begins!

Run Calvin!

Nightmare ahead!

you are gonna have a very “bad night” ahead lil fella…

Floor it, Calvin…warp speed!

And the race is on……………………………………………Go Calvin!

Calvin, it’s dodge or die.

Hobbs will sell him out eventually..lol

why Rosalyn would even think she could immediately start her studying is beyond me.

Calvin be sure to flush the evidence down the toilet.

You can run but you can’t hide.

I hope this lasts for a couple of weeks at least.

How much sugar has that boy had? Looks like a typical sugar rush to me.

0 Roz, I feel with you! Studying for an exam myself and having kids like Calvin (no Hobbes, but more than one “Calvin”… that’s even worse…) you have all my sympathy!

I believe she will have his head before this is over…

That’s a face of complete happiness =)

Even if she recovers her notes Ros would be so tired, how is she going to study ?

What Hobbes? Its revenge of the babysat .. remember?? not ‘and the tiger’ .. ;-) ..

Psst: Hobbes is nowhere in the frame..

I´m willing to bet cents to dollars Roz was the first woman Calvin had a secret crush on……. Any takers?

Calvin is going to DIE!!!

how in the world did rosalyn fall for that,she knows what type of monster she’s dealing with.now the war is on.

Calvin’s parents need to cut down on that boy’s sugar intake…

He looks a tad psycho in that last panel… lol

Calvin, what are you doing?

hypatia7777 Calvin, what are you doing?

isnt it obviuos that he’s taking someone else’s notes just for the sake of being mean and cruel and making someone really angry?!?!

If she catches you, you’ll be dead meat, Calvin. I hope you can lock your bedroom door.

by the the time that ros catches calvin both will be sooo tired

hey everyone, i’m a little new, but i’ve been following you guys for a while. hilarious comments all around :). finally actually committed to getting an acount now too, lol.

p.s. Calvin & Hobbes is my all time favorite comics, Lio is also pretty funny. (also, i found out a little while ago that p.s. means post script! lol!)

The timeless Calvin & Hobbes just got dated… Rosalyn studying without a laptop. (Just think what Calvin could have done with one of those?)

boy, calvin thought getting sent to bed early was bad, i can feel the sting on my butt thinking about what will happen when Ros catches him..

back in my day, i wouldn’t e able to sit down for a few days

There is no drug on Earth that can give you the high that Calvin has in that last panel.

He can run…….but he can’t hide.

In his nightmares, Calvin would be trying to run in molasses. And this could be one of his nightmares - right now it’s Rosalyn’s nightmare.

Calvin is being chased by the girl of his dreams.

Life is good, er no, great.

Calvin the Terrible………………!!!!!

Welcome Joe Shmo

mottih … FYI

hypatia7777 said, Calvin, what are you doing? is a rhetorical question and doesn’t require explanation.

I really love the comments that focus on the humor of the strip. You guy make my morning happy!

…this is going to cost Mom and Dad SOOOOO much extra in babysitting fees….

I can think of one. My desktop is fairly cluttered. The other day my 2 year old hit Ctrl-A followed by Enter. After waiting for about 30 mins, I had to hard reboot.

Calvins worst suspicions are realized when he looks at the notes and finds the exam is on torturing little kids. And Roselyn is about to get some practical experience :o)

@thebird55, If Calvin has been eating his Chocolate-frosted Sugar-bombs (resulting in sinister schemes), they are likely to end up exploding in his face (backfiring) and/or other body parts.

Calvin is not suffering from too much sugar. Calvin has ADHD, b/c he cannot sit still and has an active imagination. He also exhibits signs of Asperger Syndrome - highly creative and intelligent, with unexpected outbursts. Get that child to a Psychologist, ASAP!

I love Calvin’s eyes/expression in the last panel. He’s so excited to finally be getting his revenge…

welcome Joe Shmo, I am new too.

mexdr1958, I think its Susie…

calvin calvin…. you’ve got to stay with for the next what like 3 hours i’d be nicer to her!

EDIT: Hi joe schmo. same here!

Welcome to both Joe Shmo and yakkafoobmog to the gocomics strip. Me I’ve been reading these strips for awhile but not commenting. I signed on last year I think. A lot of good strips to read.

Rosilyn should have put her notes where Calvin couldn’t get them as she knows what Calvin is like. Well I gotta go time to eat, change then leave close to 12:30pm for pt work. Have a great day all.

Poor Calvin he’s not thinking that he is a prisoner in a closed system and no matter how fast he runs escape is just not possible, capture is eventual and pain a certainty.

Unless he and Hobbs are all packed for that long anticipated move to the Yukon he better make like the French and surrender

Too bad Spiff hasnt got the ship ready the French were good at building statues though ?

Calvin is awfully short for a 6-year old: knee high to a teenage girl!

This should be a fun weekend.

Rosalyn, I don’t think you’re going to sleep tonight

Calvin, you are SOOOO dead!

He yells for Hobbes to run but Hobbes isn’t in the picture. Hobbes is probably sitting in the corner making goo-goo eyes at Roz, like he usually does.

“Revenge of the Baby-Sat” … let the “games” begin!!!!!

How does Calvin think he’s going to win this one with Roz?????????

I think we all saw this one coming from about a mile off. If she duct tapes him and Hobbes to a chair the conversation between them should be interesting….

And it starts again! P.S. margueritem, awesome new picture!

It’s amazing if Calvin ever made it to puberty

How can anyone feel sorry for Rosalyn – you don’t go babysit Calvin the night before an important exam – another kid maybe but not Calvin!! Besides, she deserves it for past transgressions.

I sense a babysitting payout of about 3 times normal pay.

OMG…RUN CALVIN RUN!!!

@MontanaLady, yakkafoobmog, Karen Buchanan thanks for the welcome! hope to see you guys and gals later! :]

Not ADHD or Asperger’s Syndrome, nor yet just any little boy’s activity, but an ENFP Personality in Early Bloom…as Powered By Sucrose, Caffeine and Theobromine. :))

Calvin has no problem inferring other people’s thoughts and feelings (thus no AS), and he’s not more or less hyperactive than others of his personality type. He is, however, equipped with all the strengths and weaknesses of an ENFP (for the sake of humor, mostly the weaknesses). Not just any little boy will do all the things he does; on the other hand, he’s no Moe either.

I’ve noted that I’m an ENFP at the core myself. Apparently I had an undiagnosed case of AS in my childhood which eventually became adult manic-depression - but that didn’t turn me into a Calvin. I have a nephew who was diagnosed with AS (a pretty serious case of it too) and his mother has some form of perceptual disorder as well. Calvin doesn’t act like my nephew did or for the reasons he did. Calvin has a moral center. It’s simply defined by his own rules, no one else’s.

Diagnosis: Calvin is radically selfish. He just does what is important to him. He may be borderline psychotic thanks to the First Law of Cartoon Physics (“Only When It’s Funny”), but he doesn’t have Asperger’s or ADHD! :))
