Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 14, 2012

O, would that the reign of all mad tyrants were so easily givenhe kibosh

Thisb work is nothing for a tyrant! Mothers!!!

Throw her in the dungeon.

I can’t believe I just smiled and winked at Calvin at his comment on the last strip. Hilarious!!!!

Which truth I hope Calvin learns. The obvious implication is that he thinks her what he just portrayed himself as being.

Try all you might, Mom always holds the trump card.

Calvin is going to fall prey to The Mother’s Curse: “When you grow up, I hope you have a child just like you!”

Hey parentals here’s a flip for you; After we’re 18 we don’t have to talk to you or visit. Might want to reconsider that work load and additude.

Yes, it is very nice being a parent. 

Ha! Very good.

The tyrant’s maniacal schemes have been trashed.

Calvin’s head looks the same, with or without the crown.

Give it a rest.

Don’t you believe it for a second Calvin!!! Parenthood looked really easy from the other side to me as well. Now I have three little darlin’s of my own and I understand why my parents were so crabby :)

I’m apparent.

Calvin’s half-way to an MBA!

Yeah Calvin. As a parent you have many pathetic subjects.

As soon as i saw the phrase “Maniacal Tyrant” i started giggleing at our current state of affairs..

Is that Loki?

“’Reign’drops keep falling on my head.”

Who scattered the trash in the first place (and in all the other places)?

I hate trash talk!I prefer ‘additude’ or ‘subtractitude’, more or less!

I agree with Calvin; his “mad designs” should be executed!

I’m sure it is, Calvin.

It must be nice having all of those bills to pay and dealing with stroppy kids.

LOL xxx

just not your parents, Calvin…you little megalomaniac!

The Queen Mother still rules!

;-)

Until the last panel, sounded like Obama!

Yes his lunatic whims are his subject laws… Right after he finishes cleaning up the yard that is….

Calvin wants the power of Mom.?

…buy a pair in every color!

If only this would work for King Fink of the Wizard of Id.

every tyrant still has a mother to answer to.

Puny? Puny? We don’ got no steekin’ puny around here, mon….

It can’t come too soon. For most parents, it our dream to get you out, just get you out of the house before we die.

LOL!!!!!!!!!! Good one!!!!!

;-)

Btw, I thought this strip was hilarious because I see him as inspired to pretend to be a petty tyrant with lunatic whims by his mom telling him to gather the trash just before (caring only for the “brute labor” Calvin can be made to do, like gather the trash). So immature, and so funny! :-D

Wouldn’t it be nice if all you had too do to be in charge was to put on a paper crown? “sigh”

“The lunatic is in my head ..”— “Brain damage” by Pink Floyd

Depends on what the subjects (children) are like.

oh mothers you are haveing fun then the parent makes you work
