    It is never to young to learn how to bake. Make your own cookies, the worst that can happen is you make such a mess that mom relents.

    I bet you’re right, Calvin. Either that or you would have been put up for adoption.

    The only thing keeping him from being a felon at age six is the letter of the law.

    I found this Calvin & Hobbes Search Engine. http://tinyurl.com/2dp8bgf

    I typed in the word ‘thug’ (in today’s cartoon) and just got text. No image though, but it gave me the original date. Maybe this isn’t such a good search engine. Has anyone else used it?

    The water balloon would have went outside and I would have gone to my room with a sore butt and no supper! Don’t mess with the Momma!

    I agree with CLEO but with questions

    Mom, why are the pan handles melting in the oven? Mom, the smoke won’t go out the window. Mom, where’s the fire extinguisher? Mom, do we have a fire extinguisher? Mom, what’s the number to 911?

    And the question that got me permanently banned from the kitchen:

    I’ll make soup for dinner. Where’s the baloney?

    That last one would really do it for me Lewreader. I haven’t had baloney in a looooong time, and I certainly wouldn’t want to see it in a soup.

    Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠!

    * @weedersea * Thanks for posting that link, seems to work quite well. I found two of my favorite C&H strips under 30 seconds (Dec 6th 1987 and Jun 12 1993). The reason why the images don’t appear is that Marcellosendos.ch – the unrelated site which hosts them – is offline.

    I love the Revenge of the Babysat background and I saved it as wallpaper :-D

    Calvin learned his little lesson here: always be the worst you can be.

    Baloney soup, now that would challenge even the best cook. I’ll have to pull down Mary Lasswell’s “Mrs. Rasmussen’s Book of One-Arm Cookery” to see what it had for baloney.

    As for Calvin, paint ballons within the house would be a WMD event and would not have any kind of favorable outcome!

    In Roanoke, VA,there was a PBS show called Cookin Cheap. Every year they did a worst recipe show. One year it was baloney soup. Ingredients were baloney, milk and onions. The taste I will leave up up to your imaginations.

    Extortion excites, enthuses, exhilarates, and energizes Calvin. However, Mom extemporaneously enervates his enterprising endeavor. That’s how the cookie crumbles!

    I wonder what mom would have said/done if Calvin had come up to her and said, “Mom, can I have six of those wonderful cookies you just baked?” Of course, the way he did it is much funnier.

    Men! They just don’t get it and never will. Not at any age!

    Ever notice the similarity in taste between a certain well known brand of bologna and that same company’s hot dogs?

    I would never have found out what would have happened from mom because that kind of behaviour was transfered to DAD DEPARTMENT.

    When I was first married about the only thing i knew how to cook was a soup of potatoes, onions, milk, and Spam. Don’t knock it, it was pretty good. A neighbor showed me how to chop the onions.

    As an alternative, make Three Stooges chicken soup by pouring hot water through a boiled chicken carcass, and serve it with a fried bologna sandwich.

    Is bologna pronounced with the last syllable “ah”? Does anyone call their lunch meat that?

    Talk about going from the frying pan into the fire - this kid has a penchant for getting into hot water, in or out of the balloon….

    Does anyone else wonder why in the world that the balloon didn’t pop when he landed with the way he was flying through the air??

    Apostle (3 comments above) ain’t far off. If you stifle someone enough (without showing them any love), you just drive them into more and more outrageous acts. Words become outright rebellion becomes terrorism.

    You can never “kill all the terrorists” any more than you can “kill all the Calvins” - they keep getting created. Luckily, Calvin knows his limits because he realizes at some level how much his parents care for him. People only get as outrageous as they have to be, and he doesn’t have to throw a paint bomb in the house in order to survive there. As for those in the world with no hope of surviving as dignified human beings - tough love without the love gets us nowhere with them, but with love we can redeem any evil.
