Did he lock her out?—or himself in?
Is the toilet half full?—or half empty?
Should he plead insanity?—or flee to a foreign country?
Is Hobbes an accomplice?—or a victim of circumstances?
Will Roselyn graduate with honors?—or become a bag lady?
We always had an emergency bathroom key hidden outside so we could let kids out who were trapped inside. Don’t you think Calvin’s parents told Rosalyn about the key?
Good laugh for me.
Calvin has Roz in a fix.
But our hero better have a good safe exit plan cause Roz might promise any thing he wants ,Then look out when the bath room opens .you know with a small nail or something in that little hole in the door nob
Ah, Calvin ……………
It’s all fun and games for you and Hobbes — until Roslyn figures out how to get that bathroom door unlocked!!!!!
benbrilling, I liked your comment regarding the newly passed health insurance law … and after tonight, I have the feeling that Calvin is definitely going to have some sort of “pre-existing” medical condition from now on … inflicted by either his baby-sitter now or his parents when they get home … or both!!!!!
Is Hobbes going to act as Calvin’s lawyer in this? If either my sister or I had done anything like this we would have been beaten within an inch of our lives by our mother. Perhaps Calvin is now training to become an international negotiator - that scares me just to think about it…oik!!
pouncingtiger, Calvin will never see his next birthday because he never has one. In all the years the strip went on, Bill Watterson NEVER drew Calvin a birthday.

Calvin won’t do it. He’s not that cruel.

Ooh, it’s the upstairs toilet too. Hope it doesn’t rain downstairs.

Something tells me that Calvin won’t see his next birthday.

Calvin’s lucky that congress just passed health insurance with no lifetime limits.

That’s the same place your remains are going to go, Calvin. Hope you can swim as disassembled atoms.

She’s a babysitter, she deserves it.

If Hobbes will be on Calvins side further more?

Send in the Negotiator. Calvin could strike a pretty good deal if he lives.

Great action poses, Watterson – just one of the reasons you’re still considered the king of this genre.

I have a cute little white angel on my left shoulder, a red little devil on my right. At 4 to 1, guess who’s winning?

Roz, the more you shout, the surer you’ll never see your notes again. Go back studying and see, what’ll happen!
gblehgocomics over 14 years ago
how about just erase some bits of the notes and chage them so that no matter how hard she studies, she’s studying incorrectly.

I don’t think he’ll be that mean. ha ha,he he we’ll see.

Rosalyn doesn’t seem to have realized how much bargaining power the ‘little creep’ has at this moment.

funny how hobbes, usually the voice of some reason and caution, is all-in with calvin in this escapade.
mrslukeskywalker over 14 years ago
She asked for this all along with her perpetual rotten attitude. Hobbes can flush while Calvin feeds the homework in.

Johanan Rakkav said (yesterday), “…on the other hand, he’s no Moe either.” If Rosalyn carries out her threat, Calvin really will be ‘no Moe’.

Now Calvin cannot ever leave the bathroom. What if Hobbes gets hungry??
BigHug over 14 years ago
Looks like an expensive evening out for the parents. Expensive dinner, double pay for Rosalyn and a plumber bill!

Reverse the genders & I’ve had similar babysitting experience. Luckily I knew Santa’s phone number, only thing that made her behave.

You have no idea how much dad will have to pay Ros after this night. She may not need to graduate; she can retire right now.
imbaldeagle over 14 years ago
Dad will have to pay, only if he and Mom ever want to go out alone again. Cuz all the other babysitters have been scared away.

Roz is not just the babysitter, she’s the babysitter from h*ll and she deserves every bit of this. Isn’t this the one where Calvin kinda wins?
floatingsoul over 14 years ago
